Donald Trump launched Truth Social in 2022 as a social media platform where the MAGA faithful could hang out without any liberals to spoil the fun. The biggest selling point? It was the only place where Trump was personally posting his unhinged screeds after getting banned from Twitter over that whole coup attempt. But new do ents obtained by Gizmodo reveal the site has also been flooded with scammers who are swindling users out of enormous sums of money. We’re talking about people who’ve lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in a relatively short period of time.
...
One person who says they lost $170,000 explained they were initially scammed on a different site but met someone on Truth Social who claimed they could help get their money back. That turned out to be a scam as well. But more often, the victims are first contacted on Truth Social before being told to take the conversation somewhere else, like WhatsApp. Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
...
The complaints below were redacted by the FTC before being released to Gizmodo, making it impossible for us to verify each individual claim. But we believe the patterns that emerge give some degree of confidence that these are real scams. And publishing these stories has the potential to help other people, identify when to be skeptical after they’ve met someone online, no matter the social media platform. To be clear, this doesn’t just happen on Truth Social. Pig butchering is a scam that’s happening across the internet, from Facebook to Instagram, and it’s possible for even intelligent people to get swindled. But 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, you’re clearly not alone.
...
Many of the people don’t seem to understand that any amount they might see on their end that’s supposedly sitting in an account is completely fic ious. The scammers will often give the victim access to a website that shows a certain dollar amount in “their” account but the money is long gone. It’s not sitting there for them to withdraw. It’s simply a ruse for the victim to see their imaginary money grow, luring them into “investing” even more.

Why are you afraid to brag now?
I asked to you to prove how well you were doing under Bidens term when you kept saying sorry to posters who said they werent and that you were doing great,,,,,you never provided proof and never will,,,you want others to post answers but you never do,,,why is that?,,,
I didn't ask you for proof of any of your claims tonight.
I asked you how much stock you say you bought.
Are you doing great in Biden's stock market?
Why are you so afraid?
He said he is miserable living in Austin but can't afford to move. Can't be doing that great.
You sure disappeared when it was tanking. And you will again.Boy, ya'll sure brought this thread up when the stock was doing bad,,,,,,,Now its my turn to laugh,,,,,stock is crushing it,,,,almost back to 50.00/share and climbing fast with Trump about to become President again.

I never said I was miserable here and I can move any time I want. There are monetary advantages to staying for a bit more with muh business. Please update your attempted insult notebook.

Truth Social parent company Trump Media now worth more than Elon Musk’s X as Election Day nears
I'm not going give you information to let you physically stalk me. You're giving off some really obsessive vibes.
There's no way I can find out your iden y by your telling me the amount of Trump stock you claim to own. I'm not asking for proof of anything.
If you're too stupid see the difference, I completely understand.
Of course your not,,,,I already said that,,,youre a coward. You say sorry to posters who criticize Biden like you are prospering under Biden but will never prove it,,,,,,just like you'll never prove you have a business. You sit on here all day like the liberal loser you are,,,,, like all the other liberal dumb s on here,,,,,,have fun, son,,,,,its what you are and will always be,,,,
I didn't even ask for proof and wouldn't because I know you couldn't provide any.
I can only conclude you're lying because you're ting yourself so badly right now.

uh-huh,,,,youre exposed again as the coward you are,,,,,
I just wanted to see what number you were going to make up. Anyone who actually invested would be able to give one in seconds.
I absolutely don't want you to know any of my personal information. You seem really unstable.
You lost ~40% since you bragged about it.Boy, ya'll sure brought this thread up when the stock was doing bad,,,,,,,Now its my turn to laugh,,,,,stock is crushing it,,,,almost back to 50.00/share and climbing fast with Trump about to become President again. Where is your laughing now?,,,,,,
