The company further sent out an alert to warn consumers that winning sticks that might be sold online may be forged.
The man supposedly forged these sticks to win an exclusive Zarude V-Card which were only available through this promotion.
The 43-year-old Saitama man allegedly sent the confectionary company Akagi Nyugyo 25 fake “lucky” winning popsicle sticks from a promotion between GariGari-Kun and the Pokémon anime film that ran during the summer–when the anime film was scheduled to be released before moving to December 25.
