Trump Supporters Scammed By Novelty Items—‘Trump Bucks’—Advertised As Legal Tender

Quote:
Several companies have been fooling supporters of former President Donald Trump by selling commemorative items they claimed could be used as legal tender, according to NBC News, as some Trump supporters said they spent thousands of dollars on the items in an effort to support a future presidential campaign.
Quote:

Colorado-based companies Patriots Dynasty, Patriots Future and USA Patriots have been advertising products with Trump's likeness, including black $10,000 “Trump Bucks”—sold for $99.99—they said could be redeemed as legal tender at most banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, though none responded to inquiries from NBC News.

The items—which include coins, checks and membership cards—are sold alongside “Trump Rebate Banking System” handbooks, which the companies claim are “official documents” that allow the items to be used.

Bank of America spokesperson Bill Halldin told NBC News there were reports of customers coming into the bank to exchange “Trump Bucks” for cash.

One Trump supporter claimed to spend $2,200 on the items before warning others on Twitter about the scam, while a woman from Alabama said she spent $1,500 on “Trump Bucks,” before a Bank of America employee told her she had been scammed.
Quote:
Now I realize, well, that was stupid,” the Alabama woman said, adding she “bought them because I believed President Trump, because he knows all about finance, and he was going to help the real Trump patriots get rich.
Note to future scammers, operative key word is Patriot.

"Patriots of America, I need your help" and watch for the avalanche of $'s coming your way. It's that easy folks. (/s)

And the other operative word of course is stupid.

I saw that some months ago. I guess that if you can suspend belief enough to follow tRump you'll bite on most anything and that's exactly what the authors of that scam were counting on. Last I heard they were shut down to protect the terminally stupid from themselves.

I'm sure you don't because that would be admitting that one of your fellow traveler journalists acted like to child who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Endless disputation, trollhide!

What’s truly hilarious is that you actually believe you’re landing blows, lol. You’ll never learn. Such a sad little man.

To most of us, this kid is the real patriot and not the assholes who stormed the capital.

Quote:
“Actions are actions. Dad went to the Capitol with a gun,” said Jackson, then 20 years old. “He walked up the Capitol steps with a gun on his hip.”
Now apparently the family is torn apart. Wonder how many other families in the same boat in service for an arrogant selfish moron who does not care for his supporters nor the country. The son turned the father in to the FBI which is what makes him a true patriot.
