An online scam surprised the red hats after it didn't pay off, even though 'Trump Bucks' promises big profits. It looks like a credit card, but it's worthless. Some MAGA supporters have spent thousands on Trump Bucks, and now they're warning others that it's a scam.

NBC News reports:

They've been peddling "Trump Bucks," which are emblazoned with photos of the former president, and advertising them online as a kind of golden ticket that will help propel Trump's 2024 bid and make the "real patriots" who support him rich when cashed in.

John Amann told NBC News he bought $2,200 worth of Trump Bucks and other items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank. So he's gone on Twitter to warn other Trump supporters not to fall for this scam.

NBC News tracked down the Colorado-based companies behind the scammy Trump Bucks as Patriots Dynasty, Patriots Future, and USA Patriots. The outlet also found at least a dozen people who also invested thousands of dollars after watching the pitches on Telegram and other websites. The company's ads suggest that Trump himself was endorsing these products. However, there is no evidence to back that up. They just got duped.

The Better Business Bureau gave the companies an F rating, and the 33 complaints on the BBB site don't hold back.

This reminds me of Digital Donnie Cards:

It's like Trump's presidency. It's a scam. They just slapped 'Patriot' in their company's name, and put some catnip out to Trump supporters.
