PokemonSW failed by accident — PWW scams by design
I placed multiple orders with PokemonWorldWide.com (PWW) and never received any of my figures. The only way I got my money back was by filing PayPal disputes before the 180-day deadline. My order history shows refunds marked as “Cancelled,” but I never cancelled anything — I wanted the figures, not a refund.
For comparison, every figure I have ever ordered from other GK shops has arrived without issue. PWW is different: most of the figures I ordered there had already been released months earlier or even sold out elsewhere, yet PWW kept accepting orders without shipping. When I contacted the sellers directly — Yinan Zheng (stopped reading my messages after August 13, 2025) and Bing James (last replied July 7, 2025, then ignored my follow-up on July 14) — they stalled with excuses and eventually went silent.
The group moderator, Natalie Arianna (real name Natalie A. Macaruso), censors complaints about missing or damaged items in the official PWW Facebook group. After I raised concerns, I was suspended from the group chat. Following that suspension, I noticed that my comment was gone — whether she deleted it directly or it was automatically removed due to the suspension, the result is the same: customers are silenced. She also claimed my suspension would be lifted in 24 hours, but that was untrue. These actions show zero integrity. This is not moderation — it is a cover-up designed to prevent customers from warning each other or filing disputes before their protection period ends.
I want to point out the comparison with PokemonSW. People know what happened there: at first, orders went through, then after the supposed owner’s car accident, fulfillment stopped and problems started. With PWW, there is no such excuse. They are not a struggling single seller. This is an organized structure deliberately blocking communication and manipulating Facebook moderation. It is much worse. Ironically, I first came here because people on Reddit said PWW was “more active in communication” than PokemonSW — but the reality is far worse. At least PokemonSW didn’t silence customers. PWW intentionally keeps everything inside Facebook where Natalie and her friends can delete, censor, and control the narrative.
Some people now call this “PokemonSW 2.0,” and looking at the names (PSW vs PWW), the similarities are hard to ignore. Maybe that was the plan from the beginning — to create a new scam operation that is even more systematic and ruthless than the last.
I have submitted detailed reports to PayPal, FTC, and IC3, complete with receipts, order records, screenshots, and full chat logs. If Trustpilot requires, I am more than willing to provide this evidence directly. I urge Trustpilot to apply the same standard to all reviews — demand real documentation and proof. PWW and its defenders provide no evidence, only empty claims to manipulate perception.
⚠️ This is not bad luck or delays. This is an organized scam that takes money, stalls until protection expires, and silences customers. Trustpilot should review this company listing carefully, and buyers should stay far away.
