You may find this hard to believe but...
It turns out that Truth Social is a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con. LOL

"Trump launched Truth Social as a media platform where the MAGA faithful could hang out without any liberals to spoil the fun.
It was the only place where Trump was personally posting his unhinged screeds after getting banned from Twitter over that whole insurrection thing.
But new documents reveal the site has also been flooded with scammers who are swindling users out of enormous sums of money.
The MAGA faithful have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in a relatively short period of time."

"One 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 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."

Just another week in stupid town...but their eating the cats!

Hey MAGAS, if by any chance any of you have any money left...Don't miss your chance to get the new, just released, limited edition, Trump Never Surrender, 100% Grift Boots!

Pardon me while I throw up.

I've noticed the Reps tend to be more gullible. I'm not trying to be pejorative. Maybe it's something in their innate philosophy that makes them susceptible? For example, gold. Whenever I have to endure a TV tuned to FOX, inevitably a commercial for buying gold comes on (often with William Devane as the spokesperson). Why? Sure, gold (and other precious metals and commodities) is a valid investment, if you know what you're doing. Most people don't. And I can't believe there are that many "preppers" predicting the end of the world.** An index fund is a far better investment.

Other examples more recently are the convict-version of the bible, and apparently now shoes. Unlikely they would ever be collectibles. $60 for a bible that you could get for maybe $10? (A lot of churches give them out free, last I knew.) [type type type] OK, on Amazon you can get a "giant" one with faux leather cover for $15.




**If it is the end of the world, gold will be valueless. Just as US currency would be valueless. Portable water filters will be priceless. And a good knife. You can't eat or drink gold. Firearms would be useful for a little while, but with no one making ammunition, eventually they would be useless. Food, water, and shelter would be the priorities.

It has been observed that deeply religious people are also more easily scammed as well. I suspect there is a correlation here, as well as perhaps some common causes.

Atheists have been known as skeptics and freethinkers...
