SINGAPORE: Kenny Ang thought he was making just another purchase of Pokemon cards from a reseller in January. But his order never arrived.

Now, after almost a month and losing about S$10,000, he wants to help other victims of the same Pokemon card trading scam, which has allegedly been traced to the same individual, according to Ang.
