Plot twist: it’s just one user and he’s ripping them off by asking for donations to his campaign

I mean, it is a goldmine of gullible people after all....

Truth Social’s seemingly target-rich environment is also home to romantic relationship scams, including one 72-year-old man reporting that, after chatting with a “beautiful” woman on the app, he was fleeced out of $21,000. “I haven’t told my wife about this blunder. She still doesn’t know about it,” his complaint read.

Yikes, votes to take away your wife's Healthcare then cheat on her with a scammer you met on truth social to the toon of $21k. Chef kiss.

Self selecting suckers...

I mean that's why the owner set it up in the first place

Am pretty sure Trump is taking a cut from the scams as well... Trumps grift has no limits

It's not just his platform. Watch the dime-store networks that cover him. OANN, Real America, or whatever the fuck they're called. They'll show footage of Trump rallies right next to ads for Ivermectin, clearly obvious crypto scams, and ads you'd expect to see on some shady porn or torrent site.

Which isn't a surprise. Trump has corralled the dumb and gullible and made it nice and easy for scammers to target en masse.

Good. The more money the swindlers take, the less those idiots can waste on Donalds campaign funding.

And maybe, just maybe the one or other learns a lesson from this.

I'm not surprised.

Have you seen the scammers on other social media platforms? MLM schemes, love scams, charging a fuck-to of money to teach people how to write entry letters to casino sweepstakes for "free" online casino coins.

I can only imagine what a place that starts with gathering together people that view life as a zero-sum game develops for scamming and ripping people off.

I wonder what, if anything, will by done about this by those in charge of the app.

Depending on how many "users" are actually scammers, a deletion of such accounts would lead to a decreased user count. Considering Dementia Don's obsession with bigly numbers, such an action would probably upset him. Besides, as other social media sites have proven, deleting scammer accounts without doing anything to deter them would simply become a game of whack-a-mole.

Highlighting tips to avoid scammers is what a lot of companies would do. But this is "Truth Social." Informing their users in order to protect them from scams would give away their own game. (Or do nothing, since so many of these users are already too gullible to function.)

Even before any of that, taking action requires admitting that they have a problem, which doesn't fit into the modern GOP handbook.

Wasn't that the whole point of it in the first place?

Well, wouldn’t you target those fucktards if you were looking to make a quick buck?

"you get what you fucking deserve."

A fool and his money.

To be fair, this is all social media these days. Especially the ads. I use an adblock (ofc), but some of my friends and family who don't are constantly getting baited.

And the biggest scammer on that platform...the orange turn himself
