Dear Ben Leung


First of all, it is almost 9 years since we, J’s Racing, started a business
relationship with your company in 2002. We fully acknowledge that your sales
& marketing have made the current J’s Racing popular status in the North America
and we deeply thank you for that.

Unfortunately we have to present you a rather unpleasant notice today. We recently
learned that in spite of your status of an official distributor of J’s Racing, you
have been copying J’s Racing products in a factory abroad and selling the products
as the genuine J’s Racing merchandise.

In order to verify the information and to get the clear evidence we actually purchased
a product from you for an inspection. Regrettably we found that you not only copied the
product but also copied our packing tape and box to make the product look exactly like a
genuine J’s Racing product.

Now that we have a proof and we consider your conduct as a criminal offense, we no longer
can maintain the current business relationship with you. We have already consulted an
attorney in the British Columbia and we are ready to take strong legal actions if necessary.

We strongly feel that an official distributor should be the one policing the copied or
knockoff products. It is outrageous that an official distributor itself sells a copied
product as a genuine one. This is an inexcusable conduct even from the social point of
view and we will not forgive this kind of crime.

Regarding this matter, we are considering the number of actions. We will give you one
chance of providing us a sincere response and coming up with an offer for a monetary

Our actions include but are not limited to
1) Termination of the distributor status
2) A legal action to demand accounting information on the quantity of the copied products
produced and to demand a definite proof for destroying the copied products.
3) Bringing a criminal charges against A&J Racing
4) Disclosure of the issue on our website using your company’s name
5) Disclosure of the issue on the several forums in the world using your company’s name

To name several forums,

6) Notification of the issue to all the manufacturers J’s Racing has business relationship with
7) Notification of the issue to all the companies J’s Racing has traded with
8) Notification of the issue to all the magazine publishing companies A&J Racing has relationship with
9) Notification of the issue to your father, Anthony

Those actions will inflict serious damages to your company.
In the business world, the trust is the most important. It is very regrettable you have lost our trust.
We will be waiting for your sincere response and a specific compensation offer.
The deadline is April 22, 2009.

Sincerely

yahh it is...

maybe its an old news but a buddy of mine just forward it to me !!!

i have no idea if its true
and im not trying to start anything...
its maybe true,maybe not, maybe Js trying to frame AJR...
i dont know...

 

err.. i wonder if its for real....untill ajr says something i still have faith in them.... i think

 

I just used a translator to translate this同じく、ＪＪの右に写っている彼� ��コピー工� �の社長です。
晒します（怒） into this He who similarly, has been taken to the right of JJ is the president of the copy factory. You bleach, (怒)

 

Personally, I don't buy J's products. However, I do deal with Ben from time to time for parts, this doesn't really change anything for me as a customer.... I'll just steer clear of j's parts like always.

Here's a better translation lol

同じく、ＪＪの右に写っている彼は� �ピー工� �の社長です。

晒します（怒）

しかもＪ’Ｓ　ＲＡＣＩＮＧの北米� �区総代理店であるにも関わらず、コ� ��ーの製� 販売をしていました。

バンクーバーにテポドン攻撃をしか� �たい心境です。

as said, the guy beside JJ is the president of the copy company

I am upset, you kno what

even tho they're north american station of J's racing forJ's racing, they were selling copied prodcuts?(not quite sure)

i want to drop an atomic bomb in vancouver

 

shit im confused. So.....is AJR selling fakes or copies unknowingly or knowingly?

 

well... if they wanted to, they do have very easy access to titanium exhaust manufacturing factory. ( T1R )

not saying that's what happened, but it would been very very easy for them.


there is another thread on s2ki,
this one got reply from AJR

i bought many product from ben at AJ before, no problem what so ever~

Not sure why this is happening..

I had seen many J's part that are not perfect fitment, such as the type S front bumper, the head light fitment it's not correct at all. So I would never buy a J's product for myself.

 

wow wtf we should report this guy to CIA for saying something like that...
