"My colleague C. Scott Brown ordered the T1 Phone back in June. Seven months later, he still doesn't have the Trump phone, a shipping date, or much clarity on what he actually paid a $100 deposit for. Now, that long-running mess may be about to draw federal scrutiny, after Democratic lawmakers asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Trump Mobile over alleged false advertising and deceptive practices."
"It focuses on Trump Mobile's still-unreleased T1 Phone, announced more than six months ago and still accepting deposits despite not yet shipping anything to customers. The letter also presses the FTC on process, asking whether any inquiry into Trump Mobile is already underway. If not, the lawmakers ask why the agency has yet to act, and request assurance that Trump Mobile will be treated no differently from any other company facing similar allegations."
Eleven Democratic lawmakers led by Senators Elizabeth Warren and Robert Garcia asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Trump Mobile for alleged false advertising and deceptive practices related to the T1 Phone. The T1 Phone remains unreleased more than six months after announcement while the company continues to accept deposits without providing shipping dates or delivering products. Customers report deposits and unclear fulfillment, including a $100 preorder delayed seven months with no clarity. Lawmakers asked whether the FTC has opened an inquiry and requested assurance that consumer protection laws apply equally regardless of political associations.
