HUGE Pokemon Card Scam EXPOSED
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 бер 2022
- 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.

The scam continues: ua-cam.com/video/1o-ZeMAyvxU/v-deo.html
hey! I'm such a huge fan!
Damn this just gets worse and worse
@mew webm was i talking to u?
In-house
Oh no 😨
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!
Was about to comment this, it is a very smart move isnt it.
Yep
big brain poke-collector move.
Yeah I was thinking the same it makes sense!
My thoughts exactly!
This turned from a scam video to a “customer service for large companies blows” video really quickly😂
Daddy Ruxin
Yooo!
I liked the part where the one customer service lady actually helped out. Not all humans are trash
Yow Mr Ruxin ello
This turned into a full blown investigation with plots and twists, and i loved it
Mate! Great video, and its fantastic to see that this is a response from one of your fans getting scammed and you getting involved to stop it happening to others. Can’t wait to see the second part!
Putting this horrible experience aside, your video is super entertaining. Great video. Can’t wait to see what happens. Keep it up
Hello there!
Sus
$170 for a $800 booster box screams fake from the go. What they think the prices are that good at walmart?
Do you like pokemon cards, or your just a ANIMAL CROSSING GUY
AC!
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!
They are trading their reputation and image for money, and eventually that means they will become known for it and will end up ruining their business and making less money as a result.
Well maybe because there telling adults to grow up
@@Jfieldsend94 In theory. Look at all the steps he had to go through to finally get his money back. All they need is for less ambitious people to either take the loss or take a smaller refund, and they keep making money.
Yeah, they've been doing this for a long time. Not just with cards, but with other things as well. In my personal experience: Even in stores, they've been selling well-known fake USB drives which claim to have ludicrous amounts of space on them. This isn't a problem for someone who knows stuff like I do, but the everyday individual might not realize that it's fake, and end up losing important data because they tried to store it somewhere that doesn't actually exist.
@@Jfieldsend94 They might be planning an exit and is why they don't care at the moment. Might be a buyout soon.
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.
Thanks for trying to keep them accountable Pat!
This needs to go viral. Walmart has got to know this stuff is going on.
walmart does know, they just dont care lol
The problem is Walmart don't care
@@JUNOMAN ya that's the sad truth...they probably do know or at the very least have an idea of what goes on and just choose to turn a blind eye...all out of greed
They clearly know they're selling scam items, so much so that they're being sued for selling rayon products as bamboo.
Walmart knows
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
Thank god this isnt as prominent with Yugioh.
This makes me worried that potentially ASDA in the UK is selling fake cards considering they are one and the same company.
i seen a few of your videos before but i just now hit sub.. the bench was wet line was hilarious. you do a lot of cool editing and have great information. glad to have you in this community. thanks for being you have a great day. you are awesome!!
Awesome video dude! I stopped buying cards from Walmart a long time ago just because of those Fairfield company scams before but this is ridiculous! I hate fake cards they have always felt toxic and poisonous anytime I have seen or held any. I hope they sort all of that out soon even if it cuts into their dirty business tactics like this. Imagine the number of people who bought product like that just to quit the hobby after no refund? All of that money goes somewhere for some crook to spend and make things worse. Keep up the amazing work Detective Deep Pockets!
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.
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.
They are aware and in business with this china company. Investigate it and you will see, they are complicit in this.
@@VantageCollective Definitely not. Pokemon wants as many buyers as possible. Putting possible new hobbyists off by having a fake card company selling them for them is not how you do that.
@@VantageCollective The "they" in OP's comment refers to the previous sentence which states "Pokemon company".
@@VantageCollective why are they tho it makes no sense you have all the power why share it with so e third party for what?
@@izzyzoldyck7391 ....more money?
I have got scammed with fake pokemon card many times, and the last time that this happened one of my family members bought them as a gift for me, but it wasn't from Walmart or Target it was something like a little store that probably doesn't exist in the US. What you are doing is really big and I am sure that every single person in this community are glad you are doing this including me thank you
7:49- well...... he did not cool off, but his butt certainly did lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Janine is the true hero! It’s too bad that others didn’t help before.
Almost made me sick to my stomach, how can you treat people like this as a retailer..?
You have golden patience bro, I'm not sure I would've remained this calm.
It's not Walmart, the issue is the 3rd party seller. Every time I had a problem, Walmart did help me immediately. It's way more complicated if the problem is a 3rd party seller, another person, or company who sells the product on their site. Just think about, it, a customer service person, probably in India, can't really check if the counterfeit issue is a real problem or someone is trying to scam the site/the 3rd party seller. However at this point WMT should take the steps, ask the problem is escalated, and seeing the 1-star ratings and complaints on the site, it's obviously not a made-up claim, it's a real problem.
Simple. Walmart, as a corporation, doesn't care. They're making absurd amounts of money from that company being partnered with them. They don't care if the products are fake. It's not coming from Walmart directly so they completely ignore it because it's not ruining their reputation. They're gonna continue making billions upon billions of dollars, regardless.
@@thatmaninblack Except, as stated in the video, JD isn't just some 3rd party seller, they are in part owned by Wal-Mart.
@@gljames24 : Yes, and it makes the problem more serious.
0:03 mans got big pockets 😂
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.
Isn't that technically fraud, even if the item is damaged?
@@tomd96 Isn't selling counterfeit items technically fraud? Even if the item isn't damaged?
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.
I always wanted to pull that card. Psa 10 is worth loads ……
man. i wish I had that psa 10 caterpie ex.
It’s been 3 months… when is part 2
The mushroom king likes caterpie ex
🤣😂😂😂😂😂
"Like putting a pull up on a newborn baby" As a dad that was a perfect example to explain that shrink wrap on the fake box. 😅🔥 love the flynnvestigation videos!
Brilliant use of storyline! I’m hooked.
Your work is so important to people who value card games
Yes I know right Thai is why I am sub
I saw several other content creators talking excitedly about this "restock," I really hope nobody else fell for this scam. Good on you for trying to stop the shameless grift.
The restock in stores is legit.
@@jameschriske1495 Good to know, I sure hope so! Don't need anyone else getting ripped off.
The restocks in stores are real.. evolutions for cheap online are never real
Soooo..don’t buy from Walmart lol
So buy them in person from Walmart but not on the internet
I knew JediMasterSquirtle's sister got scammed by this and I attended his stream where he opened the fake box. So glad you've looked into this and posted about it cause it's such a big issue
amazing video, you really are fighting for lots of buyers. this is amazing and its great to have people like you around. thank you!
Someone should try bringing a deck of these to actual tournaments just to prove how rampant the issues are. Get the big guys in to stop the scams,
Caterpie EX deck when
This is exactly why I don't trust walmart when it comes to pokemon cards, they're too open with third party sellers, and make the images so convincing since you can't see the real thing in person.
I hope no one else falls for this scam, SPREAD THE MESSAGE
Edit: Damn, the way you filmed the video looks so good, hoping to see even better stuff in the future!
It's a 3rd party issue. If you buy the cards, you buy them from the 3rd party seller, not from Walmart. That's why the refund is difficult. They don't sell the cards, another company does. However, indeed, Walmart should take steps immediately. This is got out of hand. :-/
Agree. Make sure it’s sold by Walmart, 3rd party sellers on Walmart site.
Walmart should definitely give you your money back. But for people who don’t know they have 3rd party sellers. Do not buy anything that is not sold & shipped by Walmart. That’s a big no no. And Amazon is the same. Make sure you use prime 👍 good luck. Sorry about your fake Pokémon cards
@@jenny9658 The first part is true, but Amazon is different. If a 3rd party seller scams you, you get your money from Amazon itself, instantly. That's the reason I often buy things on Amazon from 3rd party sellers. The money is safe there. Unfortunately, scammers like to scam sellers there, so, the story is the opposite on Amazon...
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.
Super well made! New subscriber here and I am mighty impressed, Pat!
Pat, thank you for always going above and beyond for this community. Also can we get a full 'PatFlynnvestigation' series please??? I am all here for this.
Hope your feeling better today!
i second this.
I would rather have the rolex then the caterpie Ex
I rather have a caterpie as charizard ex
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
If you notify Nintendo they will probably end their whole company
That Caterpie/Charizard card is an idenity crisis if I have ever seen one
I really appreciate you digging into this, making this video, and hopefully making a change! This is atrocious. It's a complete disaster that places like Walmart & Best Buy, allow outside sellers to sell directly on their websites. They should just stop all of this.
The stupid thing is walmart and bestbuy can’t claim no responsibility for these sellers committing fraud
@@vegas_party_animal7737 They are not responsible for the sellers, however, they are responsible for taking down the problematic products.
all my cards are fake bruh
Me too
Me to
That’s sucks
That really sucks
I feel bad for u
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.
A new series 🙌🏻 I’m here for it! 🤩 glad you were able to finally get your money back 😊
Wait a minute.... shouldn't this be against the law for Walmart to be selling this to folks? Considering the fact that many people has been fined for selling pirated Goods like this. But yet Walmart is allowed to continue selling this garbage........
Yeah, I cant see how Walmart isnt primed for a huge lawsuit.
My kid got this pack for Christmas.... He's 10. As soon as he started opening packs I got very suspicious. After he pulled like 30 Charizards, none of which were holo, I knew. Plus the cards felt more plastic. Anyways, he was so excited after every big pull..... I felt so bad and did not tell him right away, because I didn't want to ruin his Christmas. I did finally tell him this week, and thankfully he understood and took it well... That being said, this is extremely infuriating. Thanks for taking this and getting it out. Hopefully this will help prevent more families from being screwed.
I subbed to this channel when you had 13,000 subs, checking back in for the first time in a year and wow! 500k, congrats
This is why i stopped shopping at walmart years ago. They started putting these things on store shelves in 2019 in illinois and refused refunds
I'm so glad videos like this are getting made to spread awareness of this. Walmart NEEDS to do something about the selling of counterfeit products.
I hope a corporate member of Walmart with some actual compassion for customers sees this and brings more attention to it.
We need to get nintendo in on this.
This is awesome
Great job Man!🙂
Ive literally never seen your content before, but I am impressed by this one! Very good sir, you earned yourself a sub at the very least I would say.
Thanks Scott, I appreciate that. Welcome to the channel!
This should be a class action settlement. This is actually insane. Great research Pat!
Nice Job pat, keep up the quality content.
You did a great job investigating and doing this video explaining their scam. This helps a lot of people not to buy from these scam companies. So sad….
i work for walmart and the amount of people who have no idea they aren't actually ordering from walmart directly is insane. i dont know how they haven't done anything about it yet.
This almost grounds to be a class action suit against Walmart.
Not all heroes wear capes - this is the type of investigation we need, way to go Pat! Dealt with a scam buyer on eBay and had to go through a similar hassle for a week, got lots of false promises and of course no resolution in the end due to the buyer going through 3rd party charge back.
Real heroes don't wear costumes or capes.
niceee Gaslamp! Nice to know we are almost neighbors ♥
Loved the video! you rock
This was such a deep dive I was not prepared
Why does a huge retailer like Walmart need to "partner" with a 3rd party distributer??? You're telling me Walmart can't figure out how to get real Pokemon cards by themselves?
Most likely cheaper to go third party
@@some_shitposting_idiot3023 Of course they are cheaper. They're fake
why pay their own money to buy and hold inventory when they can take a cut of someone else's sale with 0 cost to themselves, 100% profit for them.
@@21warmasters yea if you actually go to any walmart and look at their card sections they are always bare bones and that is if they even have a card section still. my local walmat does but its always near empty
@@Mike_stuy my local Walmart put what cards they do stock in the toy aisle. What they do have in stock is mostly broken open pokemon stuff missing the cards or just a bunch of damaged merchandise scattered all over. It's a joke. Will never buy any pokemon or similar from there.
Wow never knew pokemom changed Charizard into Caterpie 😂

Hopefully you won't get any report or experience of scam from Amazon too. I had a personal experience of it before and still seeing and hearing some more related to trading cards online purchase too. So far the difference is, it's not a fake trading cards but opened or re sealed packs.
Thanks Pat. Little guys like us can’t make enough noise for Walmart to hear. Keep that pressure on them!
Your content is on a totally different level Pat, thanks so much for making me fall back in love with Pokémon after 20+ years away!
This is outrageous !
I would have been so mad if this happened to me. So sry for all the people who have thrown their hard earned cash into the Abyss named Walmart.
They should rename the Company to Wishmart.
Thanks alot for spreading awareness and preventing further cases.
I really hope you all get a full refund !
Hey man I have just recently started collecting cards and your videos and very informative also see how you get those big cards from box packs is there a binder put there for them
The guy who did a 5 star review and put up scams is a legend, that will stay up there.
When buying from Walmart or Amazon ALWAYS go to filter results and choose Walmart or Amazon so it's coming directly from them. There's a huge problem with both these sight, ur almost guaranteed to get fake cards if it's not sold directly by them. There are legit 3rd party sellers on both those sites but you have to know what you're doing. #1 rule with pokemon cards especially on websites like those two, if it's too good to be true, IT IS...ALWAYS.

I unfortunately was sent counterfeit Canon ink cartridges that didn't work in my printer from Walmart. I sent them back the next day. Never got a replacement or a refund. It's been half a year, and I'm not getting that refund. It's horrible what they're doing
if you look they are sold by third party, ya they should verify but you can't just blame it all on Walmart.
@@adamherrera9540 You can when Walmart has a partnership with the Chinese companies selling these counterfeit products on their website. Walmart KNOWS about this and they don't care. That makes them responsible.
@@JJAB91 100%
Probably too late now, but charge back on your credit card will set that right.
The sad thing about this Walgreens is now the company that is promoting them with their false advertising with their mystery Box saying u could get a vintage pack but everybody that I've talked to has only gotten modern packs this company needs 2 be stopped
Thank you for this video. I ordered 2 silver tempest booster boxes from Joybuy through Walmart. Luckily I saw this video in time to cancel my order. Kind of bummed that I won’t be getting two booster boxes but glad to avoid the scam. Great work! You have a new subscriber.
This was literally the most relatable and interesting story I’ve ever watched. No 🧢 I was on the edge of my seat hoping to see if you actually get a refund
I collect Baseball cards and random multi-sport cards and I am finding that Poket Monster collectors are the smartest collectors in the game right now. I find myself watching Pokémon channels more often. Thank you for the content.
Thats terrible that a big company like Walmart are willing to sell fake products on there sites. I always use trusted pokemon distributors so I know my products are legit. I would think Walmart would be in the trusted distributors but after seeing this I guess not. Thanks DPM for doing this for the community and sorry you got done over like that
Yep after hearing so many horro stories of fake products haunting WalMart shelves, i stuck to only buying from local game stores with a certification of trust and reporte. No more WalMart. This just solidified things more.
eBay is another giant that allows people to sell fake products & pass them off as real. I've also seen fake merchandise in brick-and-mortar Toyworld stores.
its gotten to the point you can't trust sellers no matter the store.
Loved the video. I work Brand Protection for a company and I have to deal with tons of counterfeits on the Walmart marketplace. It’s a huge headache. It seems like they don’t care they’re selling counterfeits.
Going to have to get a bunch of people together that got scammed off of the Walmart products and do some kind of class action lawsuit in order for them to do anything one case by itself is not enough but getting everyone together making the value go up would make it worth pursuing
Aren't you too embarrassed to admit that you buy these?
@@jamesleate why would you be embarrassed for doing your hobby
@@willoyd614 If you have a really embarrassing and childish hobby I would think it was embarrassing to admit that to the world.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you have to have self respect or dignity as well as an embarrassing hobby?
@@jamesleate you must remember that most people pick up their Hobbies when they are children and continue into their adulthood. A lot of games like these have a competitive level to them and we'll have a masters bracket so adults will travel from all around the world to one place to enter in the competitions. whatever your hobby is you'll never be the only one doing it so you should never be embarrassed buy it. As long as your hobbies not affecting anybody you should never care what anyone says about it. If you're embarrassed by your hobby than you're not enjoying it. most people do Hobbies to show it off or connect with other people who enjoy the same thing
I almost typed an essay putting you in your place, among us Pokémon collectors, because you’re no better than us or anybody else. You should be embarrassed for acting like an immature child trying to degrade people for they’re hobbies. Good day sir, learn some respect.
This honestly sucks. The only “fake” cards are the custom booster packs who admit they have custom cards that are original (like different pokémons and different art) and they admit.
7:43 I literally JUST watched the video for the first time where you did the comparison to the blink boxes that had that towel in it and lost it when I saw you using it. Would have subbed anyway but that was the moment I hit the button.

7:42 isn't that the towel from a mystery box you opened at some point ? Much of use finally !!!!
Walmart customer service has always been HORRENDOUS and the fact they are slinging fake cards negligently does not surprise me. Also pay with a credit card so that you can claim it as fraudulent since they are commiting fraud and your bank can cancel the transaction as well. Great video and a topic that needs to be shown.
if you look they are sold by third party, ya they should verify but you can't just blame it all on Walmart.
@@adamherrera9540 You didn't watch the whole video, nor have you done any other research. It's all walmarts fault. That's like saying it wouldn't be my fault if I knowingly sold you fake cards from my chines distributor, sorry you are out of luck! DURRRRR.
@@adamherrera9540 GOOFY
Both Walmart online and Amazon have been absolutely destroyed by third-party Chinese sellers. Both platforms are WAY too lenient with them. They can basically get away with selling anything with no repercussions - and that parent company having an actual partnership with Walmart is INSANE! Also spoiler alert, the source of these fakes are Chinese factories and distributors you can find via Alibaba or Aliexpress. Incredible video Pat, it's really important to bring awareness to this.
Great video thank you for this heads up I was thinking of buying that box but then I saw this and changed my mind
7:45 bruh my plates have that same design
Wal-Mart has a history with fake and resealed packs....My brother gave me a Shining Legends etb from Walmart, and I've noticed Burn marks under the flap....I opened the whole etb and only 1 normal Gx, So Definitely Was resealed sadly
Hi roc sandy
@@DevJonah420 👋
@@RocSandy the thing that always confused me about Walmart is when your looking for something and you don’t know if what you want is in Canada or the U.S.A. Or china
I would always see these at flea markets And I wondered where they get their supply from. I guess this answers my question. they probably get the full retail value of a box if they can sell to kids and collectors who don't know better.
One time when I was very young and still collected Pokemon cards, got one of these, as well as one for yugioh, was very excited to see cards with ridiculous hp and attack values. Luckily never used them as I just collected never really learned how to play, but yeah, those sat in my collection for a while until I figured out they were fakes and tossed them.
That ending got me to hit like and subscribe. Great job brother
It’s funny how Walmart does nothing for the authentication process of cards and things being sold online but The same people will call the cops and take as much legal action against you if you don’t show your receipt at the door unbelievable
Ikr
Something I can appreciate is the time this video took. Great vid, Pat.
This really shows how much you care about not only the people in your community but the community in general, yes it makes great content but you can tell it's much more than that to you. Joined the gem mint club after watching this video, I know it's not a massive amount of support but wanted to support in some way.
Means a lot John, thank you for that, you didn’t have to do that, but I appreciate it, and you, a ton!
4:30 That ripped a piece of my soul away with it. I haven't even played physical TCGs since 2013. When Amazon gets the moral high ground you know somethings messed up.
Funny as a small business card shop owner we have to be careful with our orders because the company can cut us off. Or if we did this we would be labeled as scam artists. But Walmart knowing full well knows what they are selling and nothing is done.
As someone who grew up with pokemon and used to collect the cards even into my teens, this was so sad to see, I hope they got sued.
not me trying to figure out where these discord notifications were until I realized it was just in your video
7:45 THIS HAD ME LMAO 😂
That's the thing about these "help chats" and such, they just put you through the run around and wait until you give up, 99% of people will and never receive their justice. It's literally a scam by Walmart and other companies. And there should be legal action or something taken against them. This should be illegal.
I guess I’ve been lucky that help chats over the last 5 years fully refunded for me every times. I have no issues with it, and they usually take me 5-15 min to do
Where’s the sequel?
I love how the agent is like have a promo code for the headache my guy went through
1:33
In case you're confused why a 5 star rating was given to the scam product:
Walmart will show the top voted "Positive" review and the top voted "negative" review.
So the top negative review has "This is a scam" and people upvote it for helpful.
But now the top POSITIVE review also says "This is a scam"
So, when a customer goes to the page, the top voted positive AND negative review say that it's a scam
This is to ensure that the company can't do review manipulation with a 5 star "This is a good legit box" rating.
I also bought fake cards, that looked just the same, from aliexpress. They were free because it was my first buy on aliexpress, but otherwise they would have cost me 7,50 for 2 boosters
