L3adrine5 A.K.A. Johnny Tran is a Scammer!!! Help needed!

[Zuha]

This guy scammed me. He was supposed to send me $70 for a superstar. I sent him the yo first, because he showed me his YYE feedback(which had about 7 positive feedbacks). He told me he received the yo after I sent it a week later. He told me he shipped the money, but he said it was sent back to him. He said that a couple of times, 2 months passed by, no money.

He lives in Monterey Park, CA, so if you live near him, please, get my money and beat the crap out of him. He also scammed Apetrunk, too. Please PM me if you're willing to help.

This guy also scammed Apetrunk.

I talked to him on the YoYoexpert chat a month or 2 ago, and he said he'd shipped everything out to Apetrunk. I talked to Apetrunk a week later, and he said he was doing that for the past 3 months, saying he'd shipped it, but probably lying. He also said he was going to quit yoyoing and do video games from then on. That's the last I heard from him.

I know someone who is a nextdoor neighbor to him. He also yoyos, but doesn't have a YYN account, his yoyoexpert account is jerry. I PM'em him a while back, but he never responded.

AND he also said he'd traded a SuperStar for and 888. It might have been yours, but I don't know for sure.

Really sorry this happened to you, and I wish you the best of luck in getting either the SS or the $70

Sh*t! Damn, I hate scammers.

I will need something done, and end happily.

I've dealt with this guy once before. It took him over TWO weeks to ship the yoyo I had traded for from him, but he DID ship it after weeks of nagging.

I was worried he might scam at some point because of his poor communication skills, age, and lack of consideration for the people he's working with. He's clearly too young to be in the trading forums.

Anyways, I hope you are able to settle this in one way for another. I'll see if I can dig up his address, and find a phone number for you to speak with his parents. I'm not sure I kept any record of it sadly, so I can't guarantee anything.

Best of luck, and I'm sorry you're being put through this.

I have his address, and I need his phone number. Is his actual name Johnny Tran?

[gm user]

His real name is Johnny Tran.

I have his phone number somewhere in my phone, If you guys really think you need it PM me, but I don't want to put it out in the public. Dammit, just double checked my phone and its not in there. Sorry guys.

I also live somewhat close to him, but I'm just 11...I doubt my parents would do that. I'll still try though.

he's 13 too. If you really can, I'll tell you his address via PMs.

[Apetrunk]

Elendil was talking about maturity age, not physical age.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for my Dark Magic I was supposed to get in...July I think. If you really did look on his YYE feedback, you would have seen that I gave him some negative scammer feedback.

I do actually have his name, address, and phone number if anybody near him wants it so that they can go help him send the stuff, not beat him up. Just let me know by PM.

I wish there were people who can help us.

[Jayyo]

I had a feeling he might end up being a scammer.
He got me quite annoyed cause he would say he would buy a yoyo from me, then we would exchange info, and I would wait for weeks and no payment, and I would contact him and he would be like: Oh no, Im not gonna get it.

He did this about 3 other times until we finally had a successful sale.

Kinda odd guy.

Hope everything gets worked out.

IF YOU HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER THEN CALL HIS PARENTS!!! I wish I had Emoelmo's phone # when he scammed me, because he was in huge trouble with his parents.

Sadly, I don't. Apetrunk does though.

[mrneumann5000]

Um whitepages.com? Just use his last name and his zip code, you will get his parents # which ios best if you want your yo-yos back.

[Zuha]

OK, this is weird. I checked white pages and found his address, but it was off by 10. He gave me 304, but it said 314. I looked at all the results, but no 304. So, I searched with his address, but a different guy came up. He told me he received my yo. Is he using his neighbor's address, so he wouldn't get caught by his parents?
