The boy reportedly lost more than 1 million baht after paying for a highly sought-after Pokémon card that was never delivered.

According to the Bangkok Post, victims filed complaints with Thai police this week to pursue legal action against a man identified only as "Mr. Mor."

The suspect allegedly gained the trust of local collectors and trading card dealers by offering to source rare Pokémon cards and valuable items from overseas.

Victims stated he initially fulfilled orders and delivered genuine products. This reliability helped him establish a solid reputation within the Thai trading community.

Leveraging that trust, he allegedly began accepting larger and more expensive orders.

Problems emerged when the suspect abruptly stopped delivering the items. He reportedly blamed customs procedures, taxes, and import restrictions for the delays.

He later allegedly cut off all communication and shut down his Facebook trading page.

Police confirmed that at least 25 victims have come forward with combined losses exceeding 5 million baht.

Many of the alleged victims are young collectors who buy and sell trading cards for recreation or as a supplementary source of income.

A 15-year-old trader told Khaosod that his own successful early transactions with the suspect led other members of the community to recommend him.

The teenager noted that suspicions only surfaced after customers began placing significantly larger orders.

Another victim, a 23-year-old collector, said he lost approximately 640,000 baht. He had built confidence in the suspect through repeated, successful trades.

Before cutting ties, the suspect allegedly offered to source a rare Umbreon card below market price for the 23-year-old.

A representative for the victims confirmed they have formally filed complaints with Thailand’s Economic Crime Suppression Division.
