Tom Selleck would like to have a few words with you about a reverse mortgage.
Just kidding, in this age of Nigerian princes and cryptocurrency and QAnon, that doesn’t even move the needle on the scam meter. Meanwhile, you’re hording paper towels and toilet paper because of the east coast dock strike, right? Are people really doing that? And look at ThioJoe, he had to go legit because nobody realized he was trolling them. And have you noticed ever since George Santos, we don’t call them liars, they are “fabulists”? Was that pharma bro guy a fabulist? What about Bernie Madoff?

Truth Social is filled with junk posts by junk people so if I were a scammer, I'd focus all my time there too.

But it was inevitable that technical and politics would intersect. I didn’t expect to see it on Gizmodo though. If you have elderly relatives or friends who hang out on Truth Social, give them the usual public service announcement to watch out for scams. Apparently Truth Social is viewed as a target rich environment for scammers. https://gizmodo.com/truth-social-users-are-losing-ridiculous-sums-of-money-to-scams-2000506604 -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Darin Steffl Minnesota WiFi www.mnwifi.com <http://www.mnwifi.com/> 507-634-WiFi Like us on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/minnesotawifi> _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
