Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!
My favourite quote from the article
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
It’s almost like it was designed specifically for that.
I feel bad for all the normal family members who’s lives are significantly impacted by their trump cult family members
I am absolutely sickened by the ghouls in this thread, laughing at the victims of scams. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
To the victims of Truth Social, my heart hurts for you, and I’m here to help:
Send me the financial transaction details of the scam, including your bank account number, your social insurance number, date of birth, your mother’s maiden name, and other documentation as needed, and I will take care of things.
Best reply. Compassion wins! Lol
social insurance number
Limey detected!
OK Truthers, this is why you need my protection. DON’T FALL VICTIM to these FOREIGNERS! If contacted, immediately notify me with any information they requested and I’ll VERIFY THE SECURITY of your private details.
Canuck more likely. In the UK it’s a national insurance number.
No no, that mistake is deliberate to automatically filter out the smart people.
God Bless!!!
Hallelujah! And buy the Trump bible in 10 copies, because it will get you a place in Trump heaven!
🙏
🙏
🙏
Thoughts and Prayers.
And also your credit card expiration date, and the CVV number on the back.
It’s not needed. God will make it right.
We’re all making jokes while Chupa’s out there doing the Lord’s work.
I wish I knew how to grift. Honestly if these people want to give away their money, I’d take it. I wish I could come up with a way to scam these fucks
Start selling some dumb shit, like trump diapers, a trump doll that says “grab em by the pussy” or some other dumb ass shit his base likes. They’d snatch that shit up in a heartbeat. Take some of the proceeds for yourself, set up an account to put some into to donate to blue causes and candidates, and rinse/repeat. I guarantee that’s what many of them are doing now. (Aside from the donate to blue part of course)
I mean, trump sneakers, trump bibles, trump watches, trump coins, trump assassination sneakers, you can’t make this shit up.
Is anyone selling bullets with Trump’s name engraved on them?
I’m trying to decide if the MAGAts would be throwing money at that idea, or if they would freak out.
It would be fine to engrave the cases, but not the bullets. It would change the balance and aerodynamics, making them highly inaccurate, and that is dangerous and highly unethical.
Now if you wanted to make them underpowered or duds, I suppose there’s an argument for that. You’d have to reload them yourself though, and it’s possible you could be held liable.
I think the way with less overhead is to invent Trump crypto and other financial schemes. People are always looking to make money quick.
Good point! Maybe diversify your schemes for maximum profit.
I know the secret to scamming these idiots. You could make $10,000 per month easily. I’ll let you in on the scam, you just need to send me $100.
I’ve only got $50, can someone loan me the other half, and I’ll pay you back when I’ve got that $10,000
I mean if you’re looking for people to con, then of course a huge group of people being actively conned so ridiculously easily is going to be a great hunting ground for them.
They vote for a guy whose nickname has been “Don the Con” for decades.

Thank you, Capital Obvious.
Well yeah, it’s entirely dumbfucks and old people.
Odds are it’s the exact same family members as would send you Bill Gates chain email scams about 20 years ago, and who you inevitably had to remove a virus from their PC at some point, before you convinced them to get a tablet so they’d leave you alone.
Oh and they definitely DO NOT give Facebook permission to do whatever with their posts and photos, but also click “I agree” on every single popup.
Certainly not her! /s
before you convinced them to get a tablet
Their tablets are full of junk notifications though.
Yeah, but their notifications don’t bother me.
Unlike them when they get some shitty ransomware demanding iTunes vouchers be sent to the FBI.
It’s like an all you scam buffet
I don’t feel any empathy to those people and they’re easy to scam, so I might need to check this business opportunity.
I feel absolutely zero sympathy for these people. It’s not a platform full of Rhodes scholars either so it’s like shooting fish in a barrel
It’s roads scholars… And the pretty lady on the internet app said I will have all of my things back when I pay her my IRS fines with Walmart iTunes cards or Amazon…
… I thought my comment sounded ignorant enough to come of sarcastically as I had intended. Irregardless, I’ll be more pacific.
Well no shit…okay fair enough
One good thing is that the morons that get scammed can’t spend the stolen money on things like GOP candidates that will make things even worse.
Agreed
The type of people who would be on the site or follow that man…is anyone surprised they are an extremely gullable crowd? It’s almost sad.
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
Ya don’t say.
like donating money to Trump, one of the richest guys on the planet?
Richest, “allegedly.”
“Debatable” also works.
Unreliably rich.
possibly?
“doubtful”
most likely in the top 500 (give or take two units in log2 scale if you are really worried about undeclared billionaires) in a world of population 8000000000 which puts him in top ~ %0.00001.
Unlikely. Billionaires don’t drive businesses down the drain MULTIPLE times. Fake lied about how much assets he has and inflated the value of everything he “owns”.
Dudes tax returns were leaked and um… He’s broke.
still a billionaire, allegedly:
So Forbe estimates 3.5 billions.and value is tied to real estate which he has been found guilty of inflating.
Nobody truly knows how much he has. But one thing is for certain. No billionaire I know is grifting like this.
He is broke since a long time.
To be fair, you are also one of the richest people on the planet.
Nah. If you try to say that i am extremely rich compared to a an african or pakistani, then yes, but if in your own country you cannot afford a decent life, then you are poor
To be fair, I dont ask people to donate to me either
It’s interesting to me that the generation of get rich quick schemes is having this problem. It’s a dilemma for sure. I remember some of these same types always impressing on me the importance of hard work and saving. The grasshopper and the ant parable and not jumping off bridges just because your friends are doing it.
Just amazes me because liberals that taught me about caring and mindfulness are the ones who are resistant to the scammers in their old age. And the ones who claimed to be conservative and financially responsible are the ones with mortgages and complaints about how they are going to have hardships with retirement.
Learning from their failures is all we can do. Try to prepare the next generation for dealing with this new reality.
Another thing that sticks out about the complaints filed with the FTC is that they seem to involve plenty of elderly fans of Donald Trump. One 72-year-old man who reported chatting with a “beautiful” woman on the site was scammed out of $21,000. His complaint ends with, “I haven’t told my wife about this blunder. She still doesn’t know about it.” Another person in their 60s said they lost $500,000 to scammers on Truth Social and seemed to think there might be a way they could get their money back, telling the FTC, “After I pay this they promise there will be no more fees and I will receive my assets.”
what is even happening here. this reads like something from an onion article.
Nice to see them use their mental gymnastics skills for something other than Qanon lol
$500,000…just…wow…
It sounds like those pig butchering scams.
If they weren’t gullible, they wouldn’t be trump supporters.
No wonder they keep complaining about the economy…
