Scam Prevention Guide - $44.0 Lost

A reddit report about a impersonation scam that cost someone $44.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

PSA: Don’t fall for this ‘Home Depot penny deals’ Discord called Deal Soldier. They charge $44/month claiming they’ll show you how to get items for $0. 01. Reality? You get recycled or useless info, nothing actually works in-store, and employees look at you like you’re crazy. When I asked for help/refund, the managers (Sean & Kathleen) were rude, dodged everything, then BANNED me 💀 Best part? They said they’d only refund me if I ‘admitted’ to something first like this was some kind of interrogation 😂 So yeah… paid $44 to get scammed, disrespected, and kicked out. Learn from me and save your money.
