Trump Voters Targeted by Massive Facebook Moneymaking Scam
A massive and long-running money-making scam is now targeting Trump supporters as of August 2024. Quantum AI is the name of a fake money-making program that has been falsely promoted with Elon Musk's name, including his image and likeness, for a long time. The scam has appeared in Facebook and Instagram ads since at least 2023, if not all the way back to 2022. This scam, Quantum AI, claims that a simple program or group chat exists that will allow users to quickly and easily make lots of money in a very simple manner.
The new wrinkle with the scam in August 2024 involves the fact that Facebook ads are claiming former US president Donald Trump himself has endorsed Quantum AI. However, of course, no famous people ever endorsed this effort. The Facebook ad that I review in this video shows Trump. The ad leads to a fake Forbes article claiming that Trump and Musk partnered together for this effort, along with Jeff Bezos and other rich people, to spread the word about Quantum AI. However, Quantum AI is a scam.
Also, there are other things out there that also use the name Quantum AI. I want to make it very clear that the Quantum AI I am talking about is a scam claiming you can easily make money. Anything else out there called Quantum AI has nothing to do with this.
The fake Forbes article says, "American presidential candidate Donald Trump is accused of hiding his income from the state." The article features an AI-generated photo of Trump being arrested. Basically, the article talks about how Trump made a lot of money with Quantum AI and then was arrested, meaning that the scammers are trying to target Trump supporters with the idea that Trump is being persecuted due to finding a simple way to make money from Musk, who is also aligned with right-wing politics. The scammers are clearly going after Trump supporters. They've designed a terrible scam to make this work.
I hope that no one out there falls for this. I don't want anyone to lose money in a scam. The way that this scam works is that it took me during my review of the matter to a page asking for my first name, last name, phone number, and email address on the scam website investorbe.com. In other words, the scammers are compiling a list of leads that will then allow them to reach out to all the people they believe might be susceptible to falling for a scam. That list of leads could potentially be quite profitable for the scammers, seeing as only people who might be susceptible to scams would fill out such a form.
Let's not forget the fact that Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is allowing the first step of the scam to succeed. They allowed the Facebook ad to appear to users. And Meta has allowed scam ads for Quantum AI since at least 2023, if not 2022, like I already said. In other words, Meta accepts money from scammers to allow their scam ads on the platforms Meta owns. And nothing is ever done to stop Meta from doing this because they are too big of a company. If you, a consumer, tried to commit fraud or run a scam, you would probably end up behind bars or with a large fine. However, Meta reports on a quarterly basis billions of dollars in revenue, and no one apparently ever bats an eye.
If I had to guess without having any evidence, I start thinking of movies, and that leads me to think that maybe there is some lobbying going on in Congress so that no one in Congress ever goes after Meta. I don't know. It just seems really strange that nothing is ever done to stop Meta from doing what they're doing with the acceptance of money from scammers for thousands and thousands of ads appearing in front of users' eyes.
Trump never endorsed Quantum AI. Musk never endorsed Quantum AI. Bezos never endorsed Quantum AI. If you fell for this and gave away your phone number and email address but didn't give away any money yet, you should be fine. You'll probably just be pestered with phone calls and emails. However, if you gave away money, contact the financial institution associated with the account that you gave away money from, such as a bank or credit card, and do so immediately. A lot of these scams lead to WhatsApp group chats, which is the sign of a scam 100% of the time.
Anyway, I hope this has been helpful to you. Please like, comment, and subscribe to my channel.
Note: As I mentioned at the beginning of my video, the picture showing someone using an artificial-intelligence (AI) tool generated the fake image of police officers arresting Trump.
