WOW.
If you were a scammer, who would you think might be the easiest marks on the planet, ready to believe anything a conman might say? If you said Trump supporters, youre clearly not alone.
It is the perfect watering hole for predators:
Truth Social, with its older user base of Boomers who have access to a lifetime of savings and retirement accounts, appears to be an attractive target for scammers running pig butchering operations.
And these are not just penny-ante scams. The losses suffered by some of these marks are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, including: $500,000 from someone in Minnesota; $170,000, from another in Tennessee; $168,000 from another in New York, and the list goes on and on.
I highly recommend that you read the article, as it is a fascinating glimpse into another, overlooked and underreported aspect of the collateral carnage unleashed upon the MAGAs by the very false-messiah they hold so dear.
