Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch. I’ll pour one out for these poor souls. Ha!
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.

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.
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.
No no, that mistake is deliberate to automatically filter out the smart people.
Canuck more likely. In the UK it’s a national insurance number.
God Bless!!!
Hallelujah! And buy the Trump bible in 10 copies, because it will get you a place in Trump heaven!
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.
If they weren’t gullible, they wouldn’t be trump supporters.
I have found nothing is easier than separating a boomer and their money…well other than your mother.
I’m a boomer and I approve of this message.
I am your mother and I approve of it as well
I can’t wait to see how the republicans will blame this on the democrats
can you separate a boomer and my mother? her new husband is clearly abusive but adult protective services won’t do anything about it
Have you tried fucking his mother?
Got’em!
