Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!
My favourite quote from the article
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
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
Start selling some dumb shit, like trump diapers, a trump doll that says “grab em by the pussy” or some other dumb ass shit his base likes. They’d snatch that shit up in a heartbeat. Take some of the proceeds for yourself, set up an account to put some into to donate to blue causes and candidates, and rinse/repeat. I guarantee that’s what many of them are doing now. (Aside from the donate to blue part of course)
I mean, trump sneakers, trump bibles, trump watches, trump coins, trump assassination sneakers, you can’t make this shit up.
I think the way with less overhead is to invent Trump crypto and other financial schemes. People are always looking to make money quick.
As the old adage goes, a fool and his money are soon parted.
It’s interesting to me that the generation of get rich quick schemes is having this problem. It’s a dilemma for sure. I remember some of these same types always impressing on me the importance of hard work and saving. The grasshopper and the ant parable and not jumping off bridges just because your friends are doing it.
Just amazes me because liberals that taught me about caring and mindfulness are the ones who are resistant to the scammers in their old age. And the ones who claimed to be conservative and financially responsible are the ones with mortgages and complaints about how they are going to have hardships with retirement.
Learning from their failures is all we can do. Try to prepare the next generation for dealing with this new reality.
How could anyone ever scam anyone with a Truth Social post? The posts are called “truths” that means they must be true!
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.
before you convinced them to get a tablet
Their tablets are full of junk notifications though.
Yeah, but their notifications don’t bother me.
Unlike them when they get some shitty ransomware demanding iTunes vouchers be sent to the FBI.
No wonder they keep complaining about the economy…
I have also texted with a guy that claims to be one of the 4 founders of coincorner, Phil Collins
I can feel it conning in the air tonight… Oh Lord
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
Thank you, Capital Obvious.
like donating money to Trump, one of the richest guys on the planet?
He is broke since a long time.
To be fair, you are also one of the richest people on the planet.
To be fair, I dont ask people to donate to me either
Richest, “allegedly.”
“Debatable” also works.
possibly?
“doubtful”
most likely in the top 500 (give or take two units in log2 scale if you are really worried about undeclared billionaires) in a world of population 8000000000 which puts him in top ~ %0.00001.
Unlikely. Billionaires don’t drive businesses down the drain MULTIPLE times. Fake lied about how much assets he has and inflated the value of everything he “owns”.
Dudes tax returns were leaked and um… He’s broke.
When their world revolves around feels, emotion, “common sense*”, and education is portrayed as bad, they are far easier marks than someone who views un-vetted and too-good-to-be-true opportunities with a logical eye.
*common sense is just another substitute for rejecting actual education and knowledge. “This is the right thing to do because common sense feels right” rather than investigating and making sure of what is right.
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.
Bless their hearts.
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.
