Craigslist Ad for Trump Military Parade Seat-Fillers Is a Hoax, White House Says

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

Here’s the deal … an ad posted this week on the D.C. website page with the headline “Seat Fillers Needed – June 14th – Constitution Avenue – DC” claims patriotically dressed seat-fillers would be paid a freaking grand — in crypto — to show up and cheer their butts off Saturday.

But .. there are some red (sans white and blue) flags with the post … for instance, the alleged coordinator — T-Mellon Events — doesn’t appear to exist, so far as TMZ could find while searching for business records. What’s more — on ALL of Craigslist in the U.S., T-Mellon Events only appears on this single listing.

Would-be parade spectators were told that, in addition to the $1,000 in cryptocurrency, they’d get a “fast food” lunch and soda.

And speaking of that alleged crypto payment … the ad claims the dough will be doled out via  Fight Fight Fight LLC — which is legit — and the company involved with the $TRUMP crypto coin. Worth noting … that LLC has been the subject of a recent inquiry by the Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs on May 6 for “potential conflicts of interest and violations of the law.”

The White House tells TMZ … the posting is bogus — specifically, in their favorite term: “Fake news.”
