One Piece Card Pre-order Scam Victims Seek Legal Counsel
A group of victims has sought legal assistance after losing millions in a One Piece card pre-order scheme, alleging intimidation by the accused party's legal representatives.
On October 23, 2026, a group of over ten individuals gathered at the office of lawyer Ratchapol Sirisakorn in Nonthaburi to seek legal guidance regarding a large-scale fraud involving One Piece trading cards. The victims claim to have lost between 30 and 40 million baht in total after placing pre-orders for cards that were never delivered.
According to Khaosod Online, the victims previously filed reports with the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), but they report that the investigation has stalled. Furthermore, the victims allege that the accused party has hired legal counsel to intimidate them, pressuring them to settle the matter as a civil case rather than a criminal one. One victim, a 28-year-old identified as 'Zack,' stated he transferred over 400,000 baht after being convinced by the accused's professional social media profile, which displayed fake purchase orders and transaction records.
For residents and collectors, this case highlights the risks associated with high-value online pre-orders. The victims expressed confusion as to why the accused has not been detained despite the significant financial impact, which they estimate could exceed 200 million baht in total damages. It remains to be confirmed whether the authorities will escalate the investigation or if the case will be forced into civil litigation. The victims have also publicly appealed to a figure known as 'Jai Taitosmit' to assist in their cause.
