Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!
Thoughts and prayers.
Oh no. Anyway…
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.
Thoughts and Prayers.
God Bless!!!
Hallelujah! And buy the Trump bible in 10 copies, because it will get you a place in Trump heaven!
We’re all making jokes while Chupa’s out there doing the Lord’s work.

That’s great. I’d rather have them getting scammed than them donating that money to their Nazi party
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.
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.
It sounds like those pig butchering scams.
Nice to see them use their mental gymnastics skills for something other than Qanon lol
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
Ya don’t say.
womp, and I cannot emphasize this enough: womp
Oh boy Time to check in on my dumb elderly parents who went down the trump scam
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.
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 and churches: name a better place to find gullible victims.
Trump rallies.
Guys…I’ve thought of a way to help fund Harris’ campaign.
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 tho
But almost no bots
How many of those AREN’T bots?
How many trump family members are still alive and don’t hate Donald?
Good point.
Fish in a barrel.
Exactly what I came to say, truth social is what is called a “target rich environment”
scammers scamming scammees
(who seemingly love it)
imagine my surprise…
