    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.

    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.

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

      No, there is that, but this is not all that organized. It’s easy to say ha ha, boomers dumb, but it’s wild to think of how crypto schemes have shifted potentially billions of imaginary wealth into the real pockets of randos

    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.
