HUGE Pokemon Card Scam EXPOSED

It all started when a member of the channel opened up a fake box of Pokemon Cards.

People getting scammed = not okay.

Members of the channel getting scammed and not being able to get a refund = even worse, and I’m not just gonna sit around and let things go unnoticed.

After a bit of first-hand investigation, I purchase the same box which leads me through a ton of breadcrumbs to discover something shocking about the connection between the box and WalMart itself.

I hope this makes some noise, and I hope this captures the attention of those who can make decisions to help protect us buyers. The fake cards are likely not going to go away, but trusted websites that well them should have protections in place.

    1:37 - The 5 star review is probably to ENSURE people see the review, and it doesn't get hidden like many 1 star reviews tend do. Smart move!
  • @Ruxin34
    This turned from a scam video to a “customer service for large companies blows” video really quickly😂
  • @RyGxxy
    all my cards are fake bruh
  • @jerw1957
    funny last year i ordered a 'monster hunter switch bundle' for $180(Canadian) off Walmart's website from a 3rd party seller which was for my daughter for xmas(she wanted a switch and the price was amazing), the day i was supposed to receive it i got an email saying my order was cancelled, i contacted Walmart and they said it was cancelled by the seller and they would get them to contact me within 48 hours, a day later i received the email from the 3rd party saying Walmart messed up and they would send my the bundle it i would EMT them the money for it, it reaked of scam so i never replied, went to Best Buy and bought the animal crossing one there for $400. I will NEVER buy off of Walmart's website again, lesson learned
  • How Walmart is letting scam companies on their website, or marketplace is just insane, and really concerning! Also they are partners with the company? Wow!!! This is sad!
  • @MayorMori
    Putting this horrible experience aside, your video is super entertaining. Great video. Can’t wait to see what happens. Keep it up
  • @blake7587
    This is why I ALWAYS use a credit card. If the company refuses a refund for a fake/damage product I can simply issue a chargeback.
  • @jacobvik6977
    I’m glad you made this video this making millions of people aware of this saving them from getting scammed and keeping the pressure on Walmart to get the fake cards off the shelves.
  • @TheMAZZTer
    Mad props to you for taking the dive and throwing almost $200 and a lot of hours at what was certainly a scam, and suffering through the stress, to try and improve things for consumers.
  • @MorganUmbra
    I’m curious if letting the Pokémon company know about it would help in any way. I know they don’t like scammers, maybe if they send a cease and desist it would help.
  • @ziggytron345
    If you notify Nintendo they will probably end their whole company
  • @GG_Nowa
    I'm more into Yu-Gi-Oh so I was expecting "oh they making mystery power boxes for Pokémon now" not Walmart is selling fake boosters. Absolutely mind blowing that this can happen
  • This needs to go viral. Walmart has got to know this stuff is going on.
  • Amazon has a serious problem of mixing returned stock back into circulation. Magic the gathering buyers are getting boxes FROM amazon direct that have been opened and all the rares taken out and resealed. 3rd party sells the box to someone after stealing the rares, that person returns it, amazon places it on the wrong pallet with new product, new buyer buying directly from amazon gets box with cards stolen, repeat. There was a video where a guy got 8 full booster boxes that had all been done this way, and lots of other people posting vids too.

    walmart this is not right you shuld be saveing lives. not spending them i know that you are charing to caught up but it wont work
  • @oriontyree6815
    Janine is the true hero! It’s too bad that others didn’t help before.
  • @TheOxyKun
    Caterpie EX is becoming such a meme. I've seen several people talking about this already. But you are the first person to actually make (good) work of it. Nice job dude. I'm looking forward to part 2.
  • Agreed, I bought one of these out of desperation to make a Pokemon card reveal video, during the card shortage. That was a colossal waste of time and money. The only good thing I got out of it was one of the coins, and a promo Pokemon card. All the cards were common, and I got a total of eight energies out of all of the cards. I won't be doing that again unless I truly have to.
