“I tried to pre-order the phone and pay the $100 downpayment,” Cox wrote in his opinion piece, “but the website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70.”

Despite being undercharged, Cox received a vague confirmation email from TrumpMobile.com stating he would receive an update when the phone shipped, despite never providing a shipping address or paying the full $499 price.

I really wish you didn't wish that. Which is to say that I sometimes find myself wishing similar to yourself, but ultimately this wish is just because I would like to be financially secure and not scraping by as greedy scammers make bank. Perhaps I'm just projecting, but if your wish comes from a similar place, then I wish that circumstances were such that we were secure enough that we didn't wish for less scruples

Your assessment is pretty close. The underlying wish is to be able to be secure and make bank. It annoys me that I see people doing it via this method.
