Actually that is a legit store, but the ad may be fake. ---

[■■■■■■■.com](http://Yoyosam.com) is 100% legit but I’m questioning shopyoyosam.shop with a 30 dollar Janus available pretty hard. ---

I’ve seen fake stores like this before copying a real website but never with yoyos. I guess yoyos are making it to the big time now, a boom is coming! ---

Never inferred that it was. That’s why I said go to the normal link which I can’t show here other than [xxxsam.com](http://xxxsam.com) or some other nonsense… ---

Maybe I should have been more explicit. I meant y o yo [sam.com](http://sam.com) was legit. I said the ad was probably fake and later to contact the store the [xxxsam.com](http://xxxsam.com) store (meaning yo yo [sam.com](http://sam.com)) directly becuz I can’t say the full name here. Sorry, I stupidly assumed people here were smart enough to get the message. Sorry if I was wrong. Sometimes I assume too much. 🙈 🙉 🙊 ---

They’re using the real company’s logo all over the place too. I wonder if they even have any real stock. I wonder what will happen with this. Why would a legit store do something like this? Collect some money then shut down? ---

Yeah I figured that’s what you meant but wanted to make sure we had things a tad more clear. If anything in my career in IT has taught me it’s that the general population is as dumb as bricks when put in front of a keyboard unsupervised. ---
