Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!
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.
Bless their hearts.
Truth Social Users Are
LosingRidiculousSums of Money to Scamsftfy Gizmodo
Half the users are Trump supporters, the other half are scammers. It’s a match made In heaven brought to you by Orange Jesus.
The Venn Diagram of MAGA, morons and grifters, and right in the middle sits Trump.
I have found nothing is easier than separating a boomer and their money…well other than your mother.
can you separate a boomer and my mother? her new husband is clearly abusive but adult protective services won’t do anything about it
Have you tried fucking his mother?
Got’em!
If they weren’t gullible, they wouldn’t be trump supporters.
That’s IMPOSSIBLE! Those people Do Their OWN Research!
grifters know their marks
“With truth social, you don’t have to know your marks.”
-Truth Social marketing materials.maybe but that site is a perfect breeding ground for them
I’m Mr Anonymous Hackerman, and I support this cycle.
Thoughts and prayers.
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.
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.
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.
In an episode of the show bullshit (I think, I’m not 100% sure because I watch a lot of scam/anti-scam programming) there was an expert in MLMs saying that when you lose money in the MLM that isn’t a negative outcome for a MLM company.
He said something like, “you are supposed to lose money, that’s the business” and I can’t help but think the exact same quote applies to this.
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
Ya don’t say.
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.
$500,000…just…wow…
It sounds like those pig butchering scams.
Nice to see them use their mental gymnastics skills for something other than Qanon lol
