Eyal Katz approached me for a trade of his Neverhood for two original Sierra games, Gobliins 1 and 2. Because of the hefty postage that would be incurred in my sending games for a game I was not looking for, I thought it did not sound out of place, and agreed to the trade on 9/20/02. Each of us agreed to send our games on or about that date, and I did send my games to him on that date. It has now been two months, and I have not received any game from him. In addition, I have emailed him numerous times with no reply, although he was quick to respond to emails when we were discussing the trade. In correspondence with several other traders who also have pending trades with Eyal Katz, I have discovered that he has responded to their emails during this time period when he has refused to reply to mine, although he has not sent their games either. I would be happy to remove this if Eyal would send the game he promised.

I sent him my n64 for 60$ and he said he got it, said he would mail the money, and when I didn't get it I emailed him over and over, but he still hasn't emailed me back to this day!!!

I was looking around at some people's prices, and I saw his. His prices were very low. So, I emailed him, but he didn't email me back. I saw him online (he had AOL), and started talking with him. I asked him why his prices were so low, and he told me that he ran a small business and bought in bulk so was able to sell and border line prices. I asked him for the website to his business, and he said it was under construction. I didn't believe him, and I asked him if he would send his item first (since I had a much better rating then he did). It seemed like a model scam artist, but I couldn't resist. I was interested in buying Chrono Trigger complete (snes) from him, and he told it would cost $25 including shipping. That was a great price considering the game goes for well over $100 on ebay. I said that I would send the $ out to him, and I did. The next day, he offered me another good deal on another game: $32 including shipping on Tony Hawk's Pro Skator 4 for ps2. I told him that I would send that money to him the next day. So, so far, I have sent him $57 for 2 video games. Two days later, he offers me yet another good deal: $25 including shipping for Socom: Navy Seals for ps2, and I said that I would send out the $ the next day. So, in total, I sent him $82. He has not responded to any of my emails, not even ones that were during the process of making a trade. He has gotten rid of his screen name and email address. So, all in all, I put my trust into this guy, and he was fudging liar. I would like to get my $ back because I know he doesn't have those games. I also have deleted the trades because everytime I look at them, they make me angry...

This person asked for a check for $43.50 for harvest moon 64 on NOVEMBER 6 2002. I sent the check in good faith and he had the check cashed into his account. Its now been 2 weeks, and after seeing all the BTRS, I knew something was fishy. Unfortunately for him, I also happen to be a JAG Officer within the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, so its just his luck to run across me. I have access to government databases for information on this person. He wasn't quite intelligent as the bank he chose to deposit my check in contains his real address and information. I will divulge information for all parties involved if they choose to email me. I am not privy to disclose private information to the public as I will be held liable. For those involved, I will give you the information for use to press charges. Start here:

THE MORE PEOPLE WHO FILE, THE MORE THE AUTHORITIES START TO CARE, AS IT NO LONGER BECOMES A PETTY CRIME.

Chris, if you see this - you're in for one interesting month when the favor is reciprocated... a shame too...
