Trump and GOP campaigns used prefilled check boxes ad deceptive popups they called, ‘the Money Bomb’ in their website designs to trick visitors into giving recurring donations that added up to over $122.7 million. At one point, some contributors were unwittingly making as many as six donations in a thirty day period.

“You don’t realize it until after everything is already in motion,” said Bruce Turner, 72, Gilbert, Arizona, whose wife’s $1,000 donation in early October became $6,000 by Election Day.

“It started to go absolutely wild,” said one fraud investigator with Wells Fargo. “It just became a pattern,” said another at Capital One.
