Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!
You must log in or register to comment.
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.
God Bless!!!
Hallelujah! And buy the Trump bible in 10 copies, because it will get you a place in Trump heaven!
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.
🙏

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.
Best reply. Compassion wins! Lol
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.
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.
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.
Truth Social has more than one user?
I’m just as surprised as you are.
estimated 607,000 monthly users (as of July 2023)
But how many of those are bots?
So … It’s a little bit smaller than Lemmy?
🤣 a bunch of communists built a more successful platform for free than a billionaire with unlimited free press exposure.
lemmy is more like 45k monthly active
But almost no bots
Lololololol
“Communists”
They mean the people who originally coded Lemmy, who are Marxist-Leninist communists. (Hence why they chose .ml for lemmy.ml.)
How many of those AREN’T bots?
How many trump family members are still alive and don’t hate Donald?
Good point.
Subtract the number of scammed people from that total and you’ll have your answer 👍
And of the ones that aren’t bots, how many are scammers and their sockpuppets?
I guess its not actually all bots if there is money being sold after all
Truth Social and churches: name a better place to find gullible victims.
Trump rallies.
They’re the same picture.
Guys…I’ve thought of a way to help fund Harris’ campaign.
Fucking genocide supporter
You know, you are right.
I should instead support the guy who is going to nuke Palestine. Right? Completely eradicate them?
Who has sworn to put America first no matter the cost? Even if it means a nuclear winter? The guy who wants to suck Putin’s cock so bad that he sent him one of those kits so that he could get a mold made so that he can practice?
Says the guy who uses an ISP! Shame! How could you support those animals!
Trump supports the genocide in Gaza and wants to start two more genocides- of Latino and queer people- in the U.S.
On top of that, he just suggested bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities, which could end up in an escalation causing far more senseless deaths than there have been in Gaza. Exponentially more.
But I guess those things don’t matter because “Holocaust Harris” or whatever.
Fucking genocide with extra steps supporter
If they weren’t gullible, they wouldn’t be trump supporters.
That’s great. I’d rather have them getting scammed than them donating that money to their Nazi party
That’s IMPOSSIBLE! Those people Do Their OWN Research!
Thoughts and prayers.
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 see a lot of handwringing in society over kids not being able to handle themselves online.
I’d be more worried about senior citizens.
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
Thank you, Capital Obvious.
