NJ small businesses say Pokémon card 'chargeback' scam has cost them thousands of dollars
Published on March 28, 2026.
A credit card "chargeback" scam targeting Pokémon card shops in New Jersey has resulted in thousands of dollars in losses. Liquid Games owner Jennifer Scheri was hit last month when a man entered the store with a Pennsylvania ID under the name "James Harrison" and attempted to purchase a $2,500 transaction.

The scam has been reported by police in Marlboro, but no further details have been released.
