A 29-year-old man has been arrested for his suspected involvement in a series of e-commerce scams involving the sale of limited edition Pokémon trading cards. In a statement on Tuesday (Dec 2), the police said that the man was believed to be involved in at least 111 of such cases, with losses amounting to at least $80,000. The man had allegedly advertised the pre-order sales of limited edition Pokémon trading cards on Carousell. Victims would eventually realise that they have been scammed when they did not receive their cards after payment was made via bank transfers. The man would first claim that delivery of the said trading cards was delayed and later became unresponsive. He was arrested on Dec 1 through follow-up investigations by officers from the Commercial Affairs Department. The 29-year-old will be charged in court on Dec 3 with cheating. If found guilty, he may be fined and jailed for up to 10 years. Take precautions when making online purchasesThe police advised the public to be careful when making online purchases.  Read more
