A pair of collectors who say they were swindled by a 'scammer' offering valuable Pokémon cards for sale have been awarded full refunds in B.C.'s small claims court.

Two collectors each paid Zachary Hall hundreds of dollars for specific Pokémon cards, only to receive different, much less valuable items, according to a decision from the Civil Resolution Tribunal.

"Mr. Hall's failure to provide an explanation of what happened, or to explicitly deny the applicants' allegations, suggests that he knows he sent the wrong cards, whether it was on purpose or not," tribunal member Eric Regehr wrote.Hall claimed Younes and Khiabani were both trying to make "a quick few bucks" by suing.

"Mr. Younes says he had found other Facebook posts where it appeared that Mr. Hall had sold the same cards to other people. He expressed his concerns to Mr. Hall on June 15, 2021, and Mr. Hall 'unsent' much of his message history with Mr. Younes, including the photos he used to sell the cards," the decision says.

"I find that the unpackaging video is clear evidence that he received something different from what he bought," Regehr wrote.
