"Facing a cash crunch and getting badly outspent by the Democrats, the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors, for every week until the election," reported Shane Goldmacher. "Contributors had to wade through a fine-print disclaimer and manually uncheck a box to opt out. As the election neared, the Trump team made that disclaimer increasingly opaque, an investigation by The New York Times showed. It introduced a second prechecked box, known internally as a "money bomb," that doubled a person's contribution. Eventually its solicitations featured lines of text in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language."

The result was that many of these donors gave far more than they ever intended to the Trump campaign, and tons of them demanded refunds.

Check if you were ripped off by this scheme , put in claim for refund if appropriate and search internet for details of class legal actions which will be mounted shortly and see if you can join them to get your money and compensation

Good luck getting your money back

You do realize ads are targeted, right? The first ad I saw was for vacation homes. Maybe you need to stop searching how to get rich quick.

A Trump supporteer and their money are soon parted. I suppose if a person is dumb enough to support him, maybe they should have that happen.

Less money means less education, which is what lead to this problem in the first place. It would only make the issue worse.

I work at a bank and have dealt with customers who lost thousands to this scheme, and still their support was rock solid to Trump.

5 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

The problem with that line of thinking is that most of those trump supporters have kids that depend on that money, too.

No, please, don’t. No one deserves to be tricked out of money. I don’t care what the reason. MAGA, Church, insurance, grandson in jail...
