The Midas Touch Network has been on the front lines of exposing Donald Trump's email scams. We've been breaking stories about it now. Others are reporting on in as well. To me, it's nothing short of elder abuse what's taking place. Of course, I'm sharing with you my opinion. I want to bring out the receipts to show you how I believe, again, in my opinion, Donald Trump's campaign arm may, in my opinion, be swindling elderly individuals to giving Donald Trump their life savings without them even realizing what's taking place. I believe, in my opinion, that this is a concerted and intentional effort to swindle elderly people into giving Donald Trump their money. It also begs the question with these email scams that Donald Trump is running where he claims he's fundraising. What is he fundraising for? What is he running for? Why does he need to even be taking the money of these people to begin with? He's not allowed to run again. Sure, I guess he can say, Well, they're for my political action committees, and here's what we're doing with it. Well, how are you spending that money? For these political action committees, that money is tax-free as well.

00:01:26

So is this just an end run around paying taxes and in this money, and then that money is being spent as it had been spent in the past on Trump properties, on makeup and hair for Trump and his wife. What's actually happening here? Again, giving you my opinion, but you could tell me what your opinion is as well. Let's just go through what we exposed here on the Midas Touch Network. I want to explain it to you in detail and how it has all the hallmarks of elderly abuse and elderly fraud as well. And as a litigator, when I was a litigator, I helped elderly people litigate these types of cases. So it has all the classic hallmarks of elder abuse, in my view, and manipulation and fraud, in my opinion. Again, it'll be my opinion. So here's what I posted. This has since gone mega viral. This was at the bottom of one of Donald Trump's emails, and it says, alert, Democrats are gaining serious momentum. Their relentless attacks, fueled by millions of dollars in dark money, are paying off. Maga is on the brink of disaster, and it's time to sound the alarm.

00:02:29

President President and Trump can't hold back the woke mob alone. Keep this box checked to support MAGA in this do or die battle. You see that text is in red, and there's lots of capital letters there as well. Alerts, caps, brink of disasters, and caps. Then you check that box in an email, which is normally what you think you do to check the box to say that you've read a disclaimer or here, you're just saying, Look, if you're a Trump supporter, I'm here to help you, Donald. But you have to read below because in a harder to read gray font, it says, Donate an additional $2,500 automatically on December 31st. It's unclear from that line what's really happening here, especially if you're someone who's elderly and may not understand. But by checking the box that says that you're a Trump supporter, you've actually just donated an additional $2,500 to him from your account. And then it says that this donation qualifies for the gift offer. I'll explain to you what that in a moment. Now, lots of other outlets have since been reporting on our exposé on this here at the Midas Touch Network. But I think it's important that we continue to break the ground on all of this important stuff because I think we have to call it out what it is.

00:03:45

These are email scams, in my opinion, attacking the elderly. In particular, also, it's of all ages. It's not like it's just going to elderly. I just think that this has all the class marks of trying to prey on a certain class of individuals. The email that I just read that from where you click that box and you give them $2,500 without potentially realizing that that's what you're doing. Here's the email that you get sent, and I subscribe to this so you don't have to. It says, From Trump, and this is sent to his supporters, I'm in your chiminy. Merry Christmas. I sent you a special Christmas letter. So if you're a Trump supporter, you're like, Great. Did I just get a Christmas letter? Then it shows a letter that's in AI, and it says, From President Trump to a very loyal MAGA Patriot. Then it goes, I sent you a special Christmas letter, but my team says that it went to the wrong address. So I guess I'll stick to emails from here on out. Please consider this my way of saying, Thank you, Merry Christmas, and God bless you for standing with me when our country needs it the most.

00:04:45

Then there's a link that says confirm address. So here this email is lying that Donald Trump sent you a letter in the mail. He never sent you a letter in the mail. So someone may think, wow, did the President of the United States send me a personal mail, a personal letter that I didn't see? Maybe he doesn't have my right address. So you click it and then you click it and it says, okay, let me try to give him what my accurate address is. So then when you click the confirm address about what your address is, it brings you to this page that says, Claim gift from Trump. Okay, so now you think, Wait a minute, is he giving me a gift? And then it lists $47, Claim gift from Trump, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500 Claim Gift from Trump. Do you see? It says it right there. If you're reading this and you don't know better, you may be thinking, Okay, it's Christmas. Is he giving me a $2,500 gift? Is he giving me a gift? And so maybe you click the highest amount, $2,500, or maybe you click $100, whatever. But you're like, Maybe he's giving me a gift.

00:05:57

No. By clicking that, You're giving him $2,500. Then as you go lower on this message, that's where you get the box that says, alert, Democrats are gaining serious momentum. Check this box. If you support MAGA in a do or die battle, you check that and then you give him $2,500 more. In that email alone, someone may have accidentally been defrauded, in my opinion, into sending Donald Trump $5,000. Donald Trump sends that over, messages like this over and over again. Just for example, in the past few days, he comes up with a topic, and then he sends the email over and over and over and over again. You may be saying, But doesn't that annoy people? It does. But also, elderly people sometimes forget if they got something or didn't get something. It's possible here, because I believe that's the class of individuals that he's also targeting here, that they go, Oh, wait a minute. I'm sorry, but this is your final chance. Let me show you this email right here. It's a subject is, I'm sorry, but this is your final chance. Then it said, I had to reach out to you personally. Then it goes on to say, I am Donald Trump.

00:07:14

I tried to upgrade your MAGA membership, but you never responded. Final call. View secret offer. And so elderly people sometimes think, Wait a minute. Did I call? Did he try to reach out to me, but I never responded? Did I miss a message from him? What's going on? Then you click View the secret offer, and here's what pops up. Invitation from Donald Trump. You didn't accept my offer the first time, so I'm personally delivering it the second time. Last chance to accept my special offer to get a 2026 Trump calendar shipped to your doorstep and join the impressive roster of Trump Diamond Club members. Hey, everybody. Ben Meisellis here from the Midas Touch Network. I wanted to let you know about my podcast partner, Michael Popox, new law firm. It's called the Popox Firm. Michael Popox pursuing his dream of starting his own law firm, really based on the popular demand by all the Midas, Mighty, and Legal AFers who were approaching Michael Popox with their cases and saying, Can you help us? At that time, Popox was not able to. So he went out on his own. He started the Popox Firm, where he is now handling catastrophic injury cases like car accident cases, trucking cases, malpractice cases, big negligence cases, wrongful death cases.

00:08:40

If you or someone you know have a case like this, the consultation with Poppack This firm is free. Give them a call, see if you have a case. It's thepopakfirm. Com, thepopakfirm. Com, or you can call 877-popakaf, P-O-P-O-K-A-F. So 1877 POP OK AF. Give Michael Popak a call. And I'm really proud of you, Popak. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting in. And then this one has a countdown clock, 55 minutes and 35 seconds. And so it tries to create a urgency of which you need to give him this money. And then so it says $42, $50, $100, $3,300. And once again, when you click that, it brings you down to another tab where it has that same thing that looks like a disclaimer, and it says, Keep this box check if you support MAGA in a do or die battle. Here, for example, you may be giving an extra 33 $300 automatically on December 31st, when all you believe that you're doing is clicking that you support MAGA if you're a MAGA supporter. Also, you don't automatically get the gift. If you notice what it says in green, and it's a little bit harder to read.

00:10:01

It says, This donation qualifies for the gift offer. You see that right there. But notice the very first, this is why I also believe it's targeting elderly people. It realizes that most people who are getting these are retired. It makes it as easy as possible for a retired person to give Trump the money. It says, I'm retired. It's so easy to check that box. It's the most prominent thing. Then boom, the money gets sent to Donald Trump. He has different ways of trying to extract the money from, I think, the elderly supporters of his. There are emails like this. This is a new one that he's been using. He sends them over and over again, sometimes the same exact email multiple times in a day. In any given day, sometimes he sends 5, 7, 10 emails in one day asking for money. But here's one right here. Did my letter get buried in the snow? And notice it also says President Donald J. Trump, which it makes it seem like you're, again, getting something from the official presidential account versus a campaign. So you're thinking, wow, the President of the United States is emailing me, and he's saying, did my letter get buried in the snow?

00:11:11

And then you open this letter, and again, it uses a lot of tactics to pull on the heartstrings, I believe, of elderly people as well. There's an AI image of Donald Trump looking sad and all alone and putting an envelope in a mailbox. The message goes, first, my son, Don Jr, reached out. Then my My team reached out, then I reached out by email. We were convinced that you no longer use this email. That's why I even reached out to you by mail four times, even in the snow. My team says that my letter might have gotten buried in the snow. I really need to share something important with you. That's why I'm so persistent. If you're here, please read this. Hurry, letter enclosed here. Then that brings you to another page. You'll see the page right here, and it basically routes you again in a different way to try to give him money. This one's bright yellow, and I think that color scheme is also being used intentionally as well to try to grab people in and create this sense of urgency as well. There's lots of emails like this. Just so you can see, I'm thankful for Ben.

00:12:17

Ben, I've been waiting. I'm thankful for Ben. Are you busy? Your dog ate my email. Trump, this says, Please don't wait until dawn. Please don't wait until dawn to see if we extend our deadline I love you, but if you snooze, you lose. Then there's a lot of emails that do love bombing. I love you. I might love you more than America. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. This is a tactic as well. It's love bombing, and it's used, again, to prey on elderly people, too, which is a common scam for elderly people who may be alone. He loves me. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you so much. There are so many emails like that. Another Another email that he uses, in my opinion, to scam people is he asks people if they want to receive a tariff rebate check or if they want to receive their DOGE dividend check. Then it's like, Claim your official DOGE dividend check. Claim it. Then you click the link as though you think you're getting a dividend check, and then it brings you a tariff rebate check.

00:13:22

This is the only of, Do you want me to give you one? This is the only official message. He sends it from President Donald J. Trump. People people believe they may be getting... This is their rebate check. This is what they need. They click the button, and then they end up paying Donald Trump money versus actually receiving money. This has all the hallmarks, again, of elder abuse and financial fraud. Again, just giving you my opinion. We're all entitled to our opinion on the First Amendment. This right here, for example, comes from the National Council on Aging, the top five financial scams targeting older adults, romance scams. As more people turn to online dating, con artists are seizing on the opportunity. Romance scammers create social media profiles, use them to gain trust and steal money. But he doesn't have to do it. He's saying, Oh, this is Trump. I love you. I love you, I love you. Sweepstakes and lottery scams. The sweepstake scam is familiar for many of us. Hear bad actors call or email with good news. You think you've won some prize, but in order to claim your winnings, the person must send money, cash, gift cards up front, sometimes amounting to the thousands of dollars.

00:14:36

Then sometimes this has processing fees and other fees as well. Then notice what the Trump email say, This qualifies you for a gift. This qualifies you for a trip to Mar-a-Lago. This qualifies you for this. Why do scammers often target seniors? According to the FBI, senior citizens are particularly vulnerable to certain types of fraud. They have money, they're more trusting, sometimes have memory problems, and that's used by scammers to be predatory. To me, the hallmarks of all of that are on these Trump emails. There's also this from the FTC, false alarm, real scam, how scammers are stealing older adults' life savings. Let me just show you right over here, former Director William Webster, the former director of the FBI, William Webster, in this video, offers a warning about elder fraud. This is from the FBI's official site. Here, play this clip.

00:15:35

I served in World War II in Korea. I was a federal judge. I was the director of the FBI, director of the CIA, and I was the target of an elder fraud scheme. Don't fall for scammers's promises of money, friendship, love, or romance. These are criminals who want to take one thing, your money. You've worked hard. You've saved. Don't let criminals try to take that away from you. If you or a loved one have been affected by elder fraud, contact the FBI at 1-800. Call FBI or visit ic3. Gov to file a complaint. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you.
