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.

It’s like an all you scam buffet

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.

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.

Truth Social has more than one user?

Truth Social and churches: name a better place to find gullible victims.

Guys...I've thought of a way to help fund Harris' campaign.

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.

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.

My favourite quote from the article

Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.

womp, and I cannot emphasize this enough: womp

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Bless their hearts.

Fish in a barrel.

grifters know their marks

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.

like donating money to Trump, one of the richest guys on the planet?

I have found nothing is easier than separating a boomer and their money...well other than your mother.

There goes my inheritance…

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 Users Are Losing Ridiculous Sums of Money to Scams

ftfy Gizmodo

Oh boy, time to check in on my elderly parents who went down the trump scam

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

On the one hand, I feel like anyone promoting a scam artist for the White House deserves what's coming to them.

On the other hand, I consider scammers to be the lowest of the low.

This is one tricky moral limbo contest to judge.
