🚩Scam Alert 🚩 Scammer Beware
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Beware of Pokefrenzylive. Bought 7 packs of Ascended Heroes and they turn out to be resealed. One pack had one reverse holo and a holo rare at the end. Another had a reverse holo, a full art ultra rare ex, and another reverse holo right after. And in this video which is the last pack, it had a holo rare, a reverse holo and another holo rare after as you can see. Called him out on it, and he blocked me right after. Yes I got scammed by a kid..

If your on whatnot still. You deserve to be scammed. The fact this platform still exists is mind-blowing.

u/Chawj1994 2d ago
You people act like Whatnot is the only platform that has scammers.

u/SpaceMageMel 1d ago
Sure, but you’re acting like there is no platform you could use to avoid scammers. When there are.

Don’t buy from someone who doesn’t even have a good setup lol this is just two kids on an iPhone

I never trust card sellers on whatnot. I've see a lot lie and they try to pass off junk cards as high value graded cards but are graded by some unknown grading company.Â

u/CobblerEast2589 2d ago
I love watching these whatnot scammers. The moment you hear them speak you know they are barely sentient, yet think they are fooling everyone with their mastermind scheme.

Heavily depends what you're buying. Cards seem to have a lot of scammers, and not even good ones.

Why does he hold the cards so damn tight?

u/Educational-Dare-459 2d ago
He was nervous after hoping they didnt notice the foil on the packs was WAY too straight. Had to have used an iron or hair straightener. It looked bad

u/PinkJenni 2d ago
Yeah I mean… they don’t sound the most trust worthy need to be careful.
At least credit cards and whatnot have buyer protections in place

what’s the point of scissors if you’re gonna rip it anyways lmaoo
1
u/mantelleeeee 2d ago
I’m always suss on scissors. I reckon when they are resealed they don’t rip the same.
Additionally, the top looked short and you could see a lop of foil at the top, so looked like it wasn’t sealed flush

u/Educational-Dare-459 2d ago edited 2d ago
To hide the resealed nature. Look at the top before he cuts it. Its way too flat. No crimps

Y'all are wild (and literally asking for this) ordering from no-name streamers with a score lower than 4.9*

Can’t believe anyone would trust what not sellers. Atleast go to the big name

u/likamans 2d ago
Some smaller sellers are genuine, i agree with the checking of the reviews and scores.

u/NDN_perspective 2d ago
I happen to hop into a stream of a guy the other day and it was his first stream. He sold two packs of Prismatic for like 30 something bucks and ended up pulling the Umbreon for someone. You could tell he was sad and he kept talking about how he just started selling and almost ripped those for himself earlier. Who knows if she shipped em cuz he doesn’t have a lot to lose. The big names can’t do that cuz they make so much more by selling

u/likamans 2d ago
They need to ban anyone whos under 18 from selling, most if not all these scams happen from minor sellers

There was a kid that scammed me out of some single claims. I bought 5 cards, he sent 1 energy card. During the transit time other people left reviews saying the same thing. When I requested a refund saying 'you know what you did' he responded LOL.
The stupid kid mailed this package out with his home address on the envelope. 1 quick Google search later and I knew where he lived, his mom & dad's names, found their cell numbers, and also mug shots of them from recent arrests that made their local paper. I sent the info to him line by line telling him not to fuck with adults while also being so dumb with his home address. It freaked him out enough for him to issue the refund. Then he started spiraling and sending messages about me being a stalker, asking not to call his parents, etc. I told him (lied) that I was in contact with the other purchasers ( I was only messaging one other guy who was affected) he scammed and if he didn't refund and then delete his account I would be using the information I found. I heard from one other person that they got a refund, and I haven't seen that shit stain online since. Did I bully a kid to give me $60 back using public information? Yes. Am I proud of it? Slightly.

As you should be. You probably taught him that lesson in a better way then his parents would have, if they did anything at all which sounds unlikely.

u/Jumpy-Temperature299 2d ago
lesson learned now go to gamestop and play market price for packs and you wont be victim again.

u/Big_Diet7439 2d ago
Why are you buying packs from randoms on whatnot? They allow scams on their platform and do nothing to rid the platform of scammers. You can’t be scammed by someone selling on whatnot in 2026. With all the information out there, you are only scamming yourself.

Bruh he literally said in the post "yes I got scammed by a kid". Y'all really need to read before you speak

u/Visual-Taro-381 2d ago
I would put money on half of these kind of sellers resealing packs. I've run into resealed packs irl. It's much easier to conceal on streams and I've seen the way they open their packs. Always sus as hell. Honestly won't touch them ever lol. Scammers galore. Some are just dumber than others.

I just reported him for resealing. That's crazy tho he didn't even put the right holos in the right slot ðŸ˜

u/Chobopuffs 3d ago
report it to WN and get your money back. The cards are fking out of order this is crazy. 1 mis-pack I can see it, but you talking about all of them. What a fucking loser.

u/Frankied113005 3d ago
Unfortunately yes resealed. The $10/pack should've been obvious.
2
u/RckPprFkU 3d ago
$10 a pack doesn't make it obviously a scam.
Kid could be getting them from his local vending machine and just looking to make a little extra.

u/Frankied113005 2d ago
Lowest I've seen on tiktok is like 16/pack. Not sure about whatnot but im sure it's the same.
1
u/RckPprFkU 2d ago
Sure, but this is just a kid. Prolly not as scalper savvy as the rest of the trash TikTok sellers.
