Truth Social’s seemingly target-rich environment is also home to romantic relationship scams, including one 72-year-old man reporting that, after chatting with a “beautiful” woman on the app, he was fleeced out of $21,000. “I haven’t told my wife about this blunder. She still doesn’t know about it,” his complaint read.
Yikes, votes to take away your wife’s Healthcare then cheat on her with a scammer you met on truth social to the toon of $21k. Chef kiss.
Maybe his wife is the scammer.
Plot twist: it’s just one user and he’s ripping them off by asking for donations to his campaign
Not much of a twist though. Those of us with more than 2 brain cells saw it coming a mile off
Some of us did from approx. 9000mi away.
No, there is that, but this is not all that organized. It’s easy to say ha ha, boomers dumb, but it’s wild to think of how crypto schemes have shifted potentially billions of imaginary wealth into the real pockets of randos
Oh. I know it’s not just that, I was just trying to make a joke
I mean, it is a goldmine of gullible people after all…
Can you blame the scammers? Like teasing a dog with a steak
I’m just surprised they have large amounts of money to be swindled out of.

It’s not just his platform. Watch the dime-store networks that cover him. OANN, Real America, or whatever the fuck they’re called. They’ll show footage of Trump rallies right next to ads for Ivermectin, clearly obvious crypto scams, and ads you’d expect to see on some shady porn or torrent site.
Which isn’t a surprise. Trump has corralled the dumb and gullible and made it nice and easy for scammers to target en masse.
Wasn’t that the whole point of it in the first place?
“you get what you fucking deserve.”
So are his rallys. Every rally he posts qr codes for land scams and other devious and scammy shit like Trump Bibles. The dude is a walking plague.
I mean that’s why the owner set it up in the first place
Self selecting suckers…
Am pretty sure Trump is taking a cut from the scams as well… Trumps grift has no limits
Yeah I imagine it’s like an MLM / pyramid scheme. It all trickles up. And the actual “reportable” fraud occurs at a very low level that the Trump campaign cannot easily be connected to.
Good. The more money the swindlers take, the less those idiots can waste on Donalds campaign funding.
And maybe, just maybe the one or other learns a lesson from this.
Well, wouldn’t you target those fucktards if you were looking to make a quick buck?
