Journalist tries to purchase the Trump phone service, gets scammed immediately

‘ I tried to pre-order the phone and pay the $100 downpayment, hoping to test the phone to see what apps come pre-installed, how secure it really is, and what components it includes when it comes out. The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I received a confirmation email saying I’ll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped, but I haven’t provided a shipping address or paid the full $499 price tag. It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.’

The fucking idiots who buy this phone deserve to be scammed out of every penny.

Thoughts and prayers.

R4, the Roma don't deserve being insulted by a comparison with the monstrous orange turd and his septic compatriots.

At least the Roma produced Django Reinhardt!

Given that this kind of thing is completely characteristic of Trump products, why can't journalists just report on his and his businesses as straightforwardly fraudulent?

It appears that they are buying (or plan to buy) in expensive Chinese phones, shipping them here and putting Trump gold cases on them. There is no possible way to build phones in the US with the specs announced in their press release.

In another compelling story, this journalist will report that water is wet.

Let me guess - your credit card is being processed somewhere in North Macedonia?
