Monthly Scams Bulletin #1 (2 January 2026)
🔥 Gotta catch ’em all? Don’t get caught by Pokémon trading card scams.
With the upcoming Pokémon card launch, be wary of scammers listing fake Pokémon cards. Since October 2025, victims have lost at least $958,000 to Pokémon trading card scams on e-commerce platforms.
🛡️ Protect yourself:
Only purchase Pokémon trading cards from authorised sellers.
If you choose to purchase via e-commerce platforms:
👀 Look out for scam red flags, such as unusually large discounts offered for time-limited offers.
👀 Use secure payment options — avoid making advance payments or direct bank transfers to sellers.
👀 Consider cash on delivery, so you can inspect the products before making payment.
