From the linked article:

"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." 😀

Exactly.  If I was a cyber criminal, Truth Social would be my wet dream.  Where else can you find so many gullible rubes all in one place.  I would imagine Trump might be a bit annoyed about this development.  Not the fact that his supporters are getting robbed, but that he's not getting a piece of the action.

Perhaps he is.
