Ever heard of LC-America.com or the guys that run it?

Paid, full price. Great scam artist, will not be able to escape PA & Federal wire fraud charges.

Do you have an update on this?

I never bought anything from him. But I still reported him to a few different police departments in PA and filed a complaint on the PA Attorney General site. I received a letter from the Fraud Dept of PA saying "Thanks for reporting. We appreciate you for doing so.", aka "We're not going to do anything".

I have outlined dozens of scams and evidence of this guy above and hope that we can nail him.

Again, you mean nail him again. Links on page 1 show he consistantly gets caught committing fraud.


Anyway, I take it we're not getting 2018 70 series in the USA despite John Papp saying otherwise even though 100% of the Landcruiser community said it was impossible. I guess ultimately he proved he was better AND smarter than everyone else.

Right, nail him again. Idk how this guy has the huevos to continue running ridiculous scams after being caught and arrested. Why isn't he being monitored?

1. He's really good at conning people, that's why. There is a picture in one of the threads (probably the original in the 70 series section) of his family (Aunts, uncles, close friends, neices) all in matching LC American polo's. That's serious dedication to the long con John Papp has. Look on page one, @NFAH paid full price (70k!!!!!) to a stranger. Probably not because he is dumb, but because John Papp is a pro at fraud.
2. There are lots of sh!ts like John Papp in America, you can't monitor them all 24/7. The .gov is a reactive agency, not a proactive one. Once victoms come out of the wood work, the wheels of justice start turning. But the wheels have to be squ

Say it not true Papps a fraud

 

[FJ73Texas]

@NFAH went quiet awhile back and probably did so because if he is lawyering up...then he probably can't say much at this point. I wish the best for him though.

 

[Chachi254]

I just can't wait until the next time I'm in PA. I found his address and would find much joy in paying him a friendly visit to say hello.

Go prepared he is not a rookie when it comes to this

Yeah, I guess you have a good point there. But I can't help but wonder how the heck the guy never changed his phone number. Like has he ever googled his name or own phone number before?

With that said how has Greg Mushroom of Vintage Off road lived this long. Both are a waste of good air IMO

Wow, I figured this guy looked like a douchebag, but it’s way worse than I ever could have expected!

 

[NFAH]

I agree. I wished I’d known all this about him prior to being suckered.

 

[OGBeno]

I can't believe how deep this goes.

Amazing.

This has some great stuff in it.

“Also, look at the picture above. I could have had a wonderful suit and tie, a professional photo, but there are two reasons I did not; 1, it would have been a waste of money, and 2, it is simply not who I am.”

So he chose to look like a slob in his mom’s basement in order to encourage investors to give him money?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say his pictured staff either (1) don’t exist or (2) do not know their likewise is being portrayed on that website.

Just checked registration at EXPO no L79 America or Papps, surprised?

Saw these bozos(lc-america.com) at the Overland Expo. When I asked how the hell are you able to import these, the only thing that was said to me, was we have it covered.
