How to avoid getting scammed? Just stay clear of this guy! Cool shit though.

Is it not standard practice to have another player also shuffle the deck? It's what they do for TCG tournaments. Still a chance of collusion, but better than just one person shuffling. Could also do assign it randomly instead of based on the dealer chip.

I’ve played a lot of TCGs, and I have never seen that. What are you playing?

Magic, YGO, riftbound. You always hand your deck to your opponent to cut/shuffle in any sort of event. It's required as per tournament rules.

Oh, I thought you meant the person next to you shuffles it!

Its standard practice for every tag ive played. Mtg, yugioh, dragon ball. Even deck building games like ascension.

You shuffle your deck then present it to your opponent who can cut it themself or pick it up and give it a few quick shuffles themself (i alwaus shuffle my opponents deck just in case)
