Fuck these scammers. Recently, Walmart announces their interest in cryptocurrency, metaverse & these scammers are trying to take advantage which they have even taken with Libra. Though the website is clearly pointing to the wrong website, there will be some noobs get fucked. Did you report it to facebook?

Noobs are in a hurry to catch an opportunity before others, so they fall into the trap of such fake websites. Because they send their hard earned money to scammers without any research. I reported this ad immediately after seeing it on Facebook but Facebook has not yet taken appropriate action.

Facebook should take immediate action against this ad, otherwise new crypto users will be more likely to fall into the trap of scammers.

They use this address
Code:
645 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10022
Which I doubt is the real place where they are located. Local residents might have a better idea, but from what I could gather, Olympic Tower in New York is a building where many offices are located and this is a common tactic used by scammers so that people dont get any suspicions.

Although we really dont need people to go and check that, we can be assured that the project is a scam from the number of buzzwords they are using.
AR, VR - check
DeFi, NFT, Web3.0 - check
"Prime" paid OTT service (LOL) - check
ICO - check

They seem to be selling al sorts of tech. These guys should get the "maximum new tech in a single project" award for this year. ;D

Checked the FB page and they are using fake accounts to shill the project reported the page I recommend others to do the same if Walmart is going to launch a project in Cryptocurrency, big media will announce it or write articles about it and Walmart will let everyone knows it if they can first pass regulators, so if you use your common sense this is an obvious scam.
