發生於2026年2月初的一起日本社會案件，再度引發外界對「轉售亂象」與「帳號詐欺」問題的高度關注。這起事件不僅涉及熱門商品的惡意囤貨與炒賣，更牽扯出非法SIM卡流通與詐騙網絡，顯示相關問題早已形成結構性的灰色產業鏈。

根據日本警視廳國際犯罪對策課公布的資訊，警方逮捕兩名越南籍男子，其中一人是39歲、經營SIM卡相關業務的公司社長杜文強（Do Van Cuong，音譯），另一人則為其同籍共犯。兩人被指控利用非法取得的大量SIM卡，虛構身分並註冊大量帳號，刻意規避官方線上商店的購買數量限制，專門鎖定寶可夢集換式卡牌（Pokémon TCG）等極度搶手的商品進行掃貨，再轉售牟取暴利。

警方調查顯示，嫌犯之所以能大規模操作帳號，是因為杜文強本身經營SIM卡公司，能輕易取得大量門號資源。他們在Pokémon Center Online平台上建立數百個假帳號，反覆進行下單購買。警方已確認至少有約500次購買紀錄，涉及多款當時極為熱門的卡盒，其中包括「黑炎支配者（Ruler of the Black Flame）」等市場需求極高的商品。透過轉售這些卡牌，兩人被認定非法獲利超過 424 萬日圓，約合新台幣 90 萬元。

更引人注意的是，這並非杜文強首次涉及相關犯罪。他過去就曾因非法取得多達370張SIM卡而被警方逮捕，而這些SIM卡後續被追查出與超過70起詐騙案件有關，造成的總損失金額高達約5,000萬日圓。警方認為，這次的轉售行為並非單純的「代購或黃牛行為」，而是與更廣泛的帳號詐欺與電信犯罪體系有所連結。

在法律認定上，雖然嫌犯確實有支付商品的表面貨款，但日本警方強調，他們是透過偽造電子身分紀錄、惡意規避限購機制來取得商品，已構成非法取得與盜竊性質的行為。此案也被視為日本執法單位加強打擊轉售亂象的重要案例，未來不排除擴大追查相關帳號、金流與SIM卡來源，以防止類似手法繼續破壞正常的消費與市場秩序。

A social news case that emerged in Japan in early February 2026 has drawn renewed attention to the intertwined issues of resale schemes and account fraud. The incident goes beyond simple scalping of popular products, exposing a broader gray-market network involving illegal SIM cards and fraudulent online identities.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department’s International Crime Division, two Vietnamese nationals were arrested. One of them is a 39-year-old man, Do Van Cuong (name transliterated), the head of a company dealing in SIM card-related business, along with another accomplice of the same nationality. The suspects are accused of using illegally obtained SIM cards to create large numbers of fake identities and accounts, allowing them to bypass purchase limits imposed by official online stores. Their primary targets were highly sought-after Pokémon Trading Card Game (Pokémon TCG) products, which they bought in bulk and resold for profit.

Investigators revealed that Do Van Cuong’s access to large volumes of phone numbers through his business enabled the scheme to scale rapidly. The suspects registered hundreds of fake accounts on the Pokémon Center Online platform and repeatedly placed orders. Police have confirmed at least 500 purchase transactions involving multiple high-demand products, including the popular “Ruler of the Black Flame” booster boxes. Through resale, the two are believed to have earned more than 4.24 million yen in illicit profits, equivalent to roughly NT$900,000.

What has further raised concerns is that this was not Do Van Cuong’s first encounter with law enforcement. He had previously been arrested for illegally acquiring 370 SIM cards, which were later linked to more than 70 fraud cases, with total damages estimated at around 50 million yen. Authorities believe the current resale operation was not an isolated case of scalping but was connected to a wider ecosystem of account fraud and telecommunications-related crime.

From a legal standpoint, although the suspects did pay for the products in a formal sense, Japanese police emphasized that the use of falsified digital identities and manipulated electronic records to circumvent purchase limits constitutes illegal acquisition and is treated as a form of theft under the law. The case is being viewed as a landmark example of Japan’s intensified crackdown on resale abuses, and authorities have indicated that further investigations may extend to related accounts, financial flows, and SIM card supply chains to prevent similar schemes from undermining consumer fairness and market order in the future.
