I also don’t know how to make the charges to my credit card stop because other parts of the (since updated) website also return errors and the customer service number I called on the website couldn’t help either.
I recall that the “stop the steal” donations continued billing people who thought they made a one-time donation. Hahaha. Stupid MAGA idiots will get fleeced and thank Trump for the privilege. Rubes! You deserve to be conned. Enjoy uncancelable recurring fees while you pay your medical bills that used to be covered by Medicaid, fascists.
Since it seems like most of the comments are along the lines of “haha stupid maga idiot 😂😂😂”, I’d like to make it clear that 404 Media is actually a pretty left-leaning publication which appears to be reporting on trump mobile from the standpoint of “wow, let’s see how bad this actually is”. Their reporting is mostly tech-focused, so this is in their wheelhouse.
That said, if it were coming from any other source I’d be laughing my ass off.
Yes, 404 Media are not idiots. Trump fans are.
It’s not surprising, but amazing, that this isn’t just the original phone scam. It’s a scam buried in a another scam.
One more layer and it’s a scam turducken.
Time to sell a service that will cancel it for you.
idk, I feel like the phone and the mobile service operator could qualify as two different layers of scam.
Yes. As I was saying elsewhere, he’s a journalist reporting on tech which includes scams, so of course he did actually used a real card to test, otherwise he’d be speculating rather than investigating.
And we’d probably not be hearing about this.
It’s because you gave crooks your credit card number.
Good thing the FTC got that Click to Cancel law passed… Oh wait.
Perfect timing for that ftc cancellation rule being killed off.
I’m conflicted on this. On the one hand, I love the idea of a stupid tax. On the other, I hate the idea of Trump getting all the money the stupid tax generates.
I think it’s a follow up piece. The first one was I bought the Trump Mobile to open it and see what inside however they only charge me 64$ and still no phone. He should have cancel at this point
I’m taking notes…
Its a fucking credit card, you can just file a goddamn charge back.
Sure, but you shouldn’t have to. Your response makes it sound like the person who appears to be getting money stolen from them is acting unreasonably when they are most certainly not the party acting that way.
It is wrong, but that’s the answer to stopping it.
I guess, but that’s not why this is news, is it?
Thoughts and prayers you fucking cunt.Aight, I didn’t read the article and thought it was some MAGAt. It was a reporter acting as a guinea pig in order to educate people. Thanks to the commenter below for pointing that out.
This is a reporter that signed up for the preorder of the "Trump Phone"to see how shit it would be.
Homeboy is taking more heat for our benefit because the scam is a scam2
🤣🤣🤣
For those that bought these:
I’m a Nigerian price who needs to temporarily part a billion dollars in some bank account. Please send me your bank account details and I promise I’ll pay you a million dollars for the help!
Lol I live in a country full of people who are enthusiastically marks…
You gave your card to a scammer. What do you expect.
He’s a journalist reporting on tech which includes scams, of course he did otherwise he’d be speculating rather than investigating.
And we’d probably not be hearing about this.

Because “grift” is why.
It’s cause you gave them your CC details, Dumb Dumb.
What’s a credit card number here and there matter? Think of all the libs you’ve going to trigger with your Donny phone.
This guy on YT recorded the entire process of signing up for the mobile service. It was interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUtSo7dASg0
