What's really funny is all the Trump campaign emails they send you. I only signed up for them because it was a requirement for snagging free tickets to far right events (So someone who actually wanted to go can't... leaving empty seats)
Many of them say things like "Anon, Trump named you personally as his top contributor. Send us 9001 dollars for an autographrd Trump hat. He is counting on your support, yes, you specifically"
It sounds like the perfect target group for such scammers. I like the idea of taking up space without actually using it. I wonder how much they'd be secured against automated registrations
