An advert posted to Craigslist calling for seat-fillers for the U.S. Military’s 250th anniversary parade this weekend — AKA President Trump‘s birthday bash — has gone viral … however it has all of the makings of a complete hoax.

Here is the deal … an advert posted this week on the D.C. web site web page with the headline “Seat Fillers Wanted – June 14th – Structure Avenue – DC” claims patriotically dressed seat-fillers could be paid a freaking grand — in crypto — to indicate up and cheer their butts off Saturday.

However .. there are some crimson (sans white and blue) flags with the publish … as an example, the alleged coordinator — T-Mellon Occasions — does not seem to exist, as far as TMZ may discover whereas trying to find enterprise data. What’s extra — on ALL of Craigslist within the U.S., T-Mellon Occasions solely seems on this single itemizing.

Would-be parade spectators have been instructed that, along with the $1,000 in cryptocurrency, they’d get a “quick meals” lunch and soda.

And talking of that alleged crypto fee … the advert claims the dough will likely be doled out by way of  Combat Combat Combat LLC — which is legit — and the corporate concerned with the $TRUMP crypto coin. Value noting … that LLC has been the topic of a latest inquiry by the Committee on Homeland Safety & Governmental Affairs on Might 6 for “potential conflicts of curiosity and violations of the regulation.”

The White Home tells TMZ … the posting is bogus — particularly, of their favourite time period: “Pretend information.”
