Alleged scammers have been cashing in on a “Trump Bucks” scheme that has some of the former president’s most fervent and vulnerable supporters buying worthless checks, coins, and cards they believe will make them rich.

According to an NBC News report, Trump Bucks are being advertised on areas of the internet peddling conspiracies to the MAGA crowd. These Trump Bucks look like coins, checks, or membership cards and often have Trump’s face on them, but they are not legal tender — something purchasers have discovered when trying to redeem them at stores and banks. There is no evidence that Trump or his campaign are associated with the purported scam, but videos with AI-generated audio impersonating Trump (or sometimes billionaire Elon Musk) appear to endorse the products.

Another video on YouTube claims, “TRB system membership cards are official cards issued by Donald Trump to allow Trump Bucks holders to use Trump Bucks as legal tender and deposit them in banks such as JP Morgan Chase, the Bank of America and Wells Fargo.” But just seconds before that, the ad said that “Trump Bucks are not legal tender.”

As one 75-year-old Alabama grandmother told NBC News, “I saw all these ads on Telegram that had Trump pushing coins and checks that he endorsed and how you can cash them in after a year and make a profit,” she said, declining to be named for fear of harassment. “I was told how you can go to Bank of America or Target or Amazon to cash them in.”

And so that’s exactly what she attempted to do. The grandmother drove 60 miles to find a Bank of America branch and tried to cash in her Trump Bucks. “When we get there the lady tells me she’s seen dozens of people coming in to cash these checks and they have nothing to do with this,” the grandmother said.

Another person who purchased Trump Bucks, John Amann, took to Twitter to warn others that they “have no monetary values they are COMMEMORATIVE ONLY.”

The companies behind Trump Bucks were identified by NBC as Patriots Dynasty, Patriots Future and USA Patriots. The news outlet spoke to “at least a dozen” people who spent thousands on Trump Bucks that have no legal value. The Federal Trade Commission told NBC that it has received one fraud complaint against Patriots Dynasty.

A woman who lives in Florida also spoke to NBC News and said her 77-year-old mother-in-law purchased tens of thousands of dollars Trump Bucks. “My mother-in-law has always been conservative and prone to believe in conspiracy theories,” she said. “But after Trump lost the election, she went down the internet rabbit hole with this.”

The woman said that her mother-in-law first started buying Trump memorabilia and was aware the memorabilia had no monetary value. But then the mother-in-law fell for “other sites” that were “claiming that if you buy these Trump coins or these Trump checks for, say, a hundred dollars, you’ll be able to take them to a bank and cash them in for thousands of dollars.”

Hoping to dissuade her mother-in-law from buying more, the woman took her to a bank to attempt to cash in her worthless Trump Bucks.

“We thought she got it, she even admitted she got scammed,” the daughter-in-law said. “But then giant boxes arrived at the house full of Trump checks and other stuff that she bought for $500 and that would supposedly be worth $6 million one day. We tell her she’s getting scammed, and she says, ‘Just wait, Trump will make all the patriots rich.’”

“It’s like she’s in a cult,” the daughter-in-law said.

I like that comparison!  Trump is just like Nigerian scammers. 

Only he was elected by the folks he's scammed as the ******* president of the United States!  MAGA!

(And for what it's worth, I think less of the fools who support him than I do of Trump himself.  After all, he's simply making out like the master grifter he is and always has been.)

Are y'all really so obsessed with Trump that you can't tell the difference between scammers using Trump's name and Trump? Even a lefty publication like Rolling Stone can tell the difference but you can't? That's pitiful.

You should lighten up on the weed before posting. Claiming that Trump is somehow benefiting from what these scammers are doing is beyond silly.

Ummm...the point is that it sounds completely on-brand with things that Trump does. I mean, honestly, doesn't "Trump Bucks" sound exactly like something he would do?

Sure, there's a sucker born every minute, but these suckers were born when they starting supporting Trump to begin with, not when they bought "Trump Bucks."

‘A one-man scam Pac’: Trump’s money hustling tricks prompt fresh scrutiny

Trump raised $200m from false election claims. What happens to the money now?

Of Course Trump Has Scammed Millions From His Not-Very-Bright Supporters

The ex-president has reportedly been using his political PAC as a slush fund for personal expenses.

 

 

[homersapien 12,244]

Of course, one of Trump's main henchmen was actually arrested for running a scam based on Trump's border wall.  

And Trump responded by pardoning him.

https://nypost.com/2021/01/20/president-trump-pardons-steve-bannon/

Trump pardons former White House strategist Steve Bannon

President Trump on Tuesday night pardoned former top campaign aide and White House strategist Steve Bannon, who was arrested for an alleged scam involving private donations to build a border wall with Mexico.

Bannon was among nearly 150 people who were granted clemency in the final hours of Trump’s presidency.

Bannon, the nationalist firebrand who was formerly executive chairman of Breitbart News, had been facing a May trial on fraud and money laundering charges in Manhattan federal court.

Bannon was accused of scamming $1 million from donors to the “We Build the Wall” GoFundMe campaign launched by US Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, who lost three limbs in a 2004 bomb blast in Iraq.

He was busted in August aboard the Lady May, a $28 million yacht owned by Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui.

Then let him speak. Perhaps send whatever mod you're referring to a PM and ask him to comment here. I'll wait.

I have known but a very few junkies in my life but you have something in common with the other two or three I've encountered. Y'all can't separate reality from your foggy dreams. Take the title of this thread as a perfect example. You post this: "trump still screwing people...." when you know perfectly well that Trump had nothing to do with these scammers. You are caught red-handed in a lie of your own making. Then in other threads you say you hate liars. That's funny!

I won't call you a lair because I don't think you are capable of distinguishing between your dope influenced daydreams and reality. You are simply impaired and thus we can cut you a little slack.

This is a perfect example of what I said about junkies. Nobody said people were stealing money from Trump. That came from your foggy dreams. Just like your thread title implying that Trump benefits from these scams, when the very article you posted said otherwise.
