The Bulwark reports:
If the Republican party or the allied conservative movement happens to have your phone number, there is a good chance you received an interesting text message in recent days. “You earned that $5,000 DOGE check,” the text read. “Say YES before it’s gone.” Recipients who clicked the link were met with an alarming suggestion. “DOGE SAVED YOU $1 TRILLION—AND YOU SAID NO?!” the webpage blared. “Our records show you may have said ‘NO’ to your Trump Savings Check. This can’t be right!”
It went on from there, with increasingly detailed promises that you, the recipient, were owed some serious cash. “This isn’t a handout. It’s YOUR hard-earned money that corrupt bureaucrats STOLE from YOU,” the page went on. “You only have until midnight to update your response.” So how would you get your hands on that hard-earned money stolen from you? By forking over your email address—and, of course, making a small donation to a PAC you’ve probably never heard of: Women for America’s Freedom (WAF).
Read the full article.
Per the Bulwark, a now-defunct website lists the PAC’s president as the Mary Vought, the ex-wife of Trump’s budget director Russell Vought.
Mary Vought works for the Heritage Foundation, which is claiming that she has nothing to do with the PAC. Yeah.
Also listed on that dead website? Karoline Leavitt.
Hit the link, there’s more, no paywall.
The DOGE scam:
‘A Gross and Brazen ‘DOGE Check’ Scam
A conservative PAC with past ties to top Trumpworld figures is telling voters they can get a $5,000 DOGE check. It’s a lie.
