A New Low in Trump's Mobile Scam: Nearly 600,000 Dubious Preorders
The saga of the Trump phone continues to spiral out of control. In an attempt to revive interest in its non-existent gold-colored device, Trump Mobile has reportedly received nearly 600,000 preorders for the T1, with customers allegedly willing to shell out $100 deposits since June.
While this figure sounds alarming, it's essential to note that none of these claims can be verified. The numbers appear to have originated from a social media post in December, which was later amplified by various sources, including a press office. This lack of transparency raises serious doubts about the accuracy of the data.
Moreover, Trump Mobile has been embroiled in controversy over its alleged promise of manufacturing the T1 phone in the US. In reality, such a claim is impossible due to regulatory hurdles and supply chain issues.
As we delve deeper into this mess, it becomes clear that Trump Mobile's tactics are nothing short of deceptive. The company has already been accused of bait-and-switch tactics, and now we're faced with potentially fabricated preorder figures.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has taken notice of these concerns, urging them to investigate the "bait-and-switch tactics" employed by Trump Mobile. However, it's doubtful that any meaningful action will be taken.
This latest development is a stark reminder of the decade-long rollercoaster ride of scandal and controversy surrounding the Trump name. As one writer put it, "I'd like off this ride, please." It seems unlikely that standards will improve anytime soon in this case.
