Your pom is a baby and still has his puppy coat. That full, fluffy coat comes with his adult coat, at about a year or even older.
Also, coat is also genetic and if his parents or ancestors had sparce coats he may likely have a thin coat as well.
IF his parents both had full coats I would assume he will get his as he gets his adult coat.

I am sure you have not been scammed. Poms all go through a coat change. My daughter has one and we thought the same thing - at one point he looked like he had some type of mange. He is 2 years old now and absolutely beautiful. The hair will come in it just takes time.

I have an adult pom (~14 months) and he has flat fur. He does not have the voluminous, fluffy show coat. The only fluffy place on his body is his butt, where his undercoat is more prominent.
