Americans Lose Millions Buying Fake Donald Trump Debit Cards

Saturday, March 02, 2024

Last September, 86-year-old Ann Bratton thought she'd stumbled onto the investment of a lifetime ... What she didn't know was that behind the offer of "Trump Collection" cards was an opaque group of web-based vendors from a faded industrial city 8,500 kilometers away.

"Trump cards" featuring the billionaire U.S. ex-president's image, each supposedly preloaded with $200,000

"I believe in President Trump, and I think he is honest."

I LOVE THE POORLY EDUCATED!

"After years of forking out tens of thousands of dollars on souvenir banknotes, coins, and other Trump memorabilia"

Sad.

Highly visible because they're red.

This is a good thing. The more Trump's name becomes synonymous with scams, the better.

The fact that Trump himself isn't behind this scam is because he didn't think of it first.

I find it hard to be sympathetic with victims who are foolish enough to "invest" in the name of such a notorious con artist.

Fools and their money are soon parted.

They were fake??

Awww man.

Just think of how mad InBev was gonna be when they bought a bunch of beers that they own but aren't Bud Light with their Trunk debit card.

They would have been triggert, for sure.

But, alas...

Who was smart enough to switch from Dem to Pub when he decided to run for office. He knew where the suckers are.

"I believe in President Trump, and I think he is honest. I believed that I was investing in the future," Bratton said of her seven-year splurge on quasi-banknotes, tokens, coins, and more recently the bogus debit cards. "I can't even remember where it was all advertised."

7 figures. She bought 7 figures worth of Trump crap.

And she was trying to recoup all she lost.

I can't feel sorry for these stupid stupid people.
