The ads are very strange, probably either a troll intentionally seeking this outcome or a scammer targeting pedophiles who believed in pizzagate and used it to look for CSAM. In any case, very weird.
Troll seems most likely given it’s specifically a pizza. But there’s several reasons someone would put up a fake listing. Could be a poorly thought out method for “laundering” stolen credit cards. Or someone just hoping for a bored or drunk millionaire. Or someone boosting # of listings stats on their account. Or a temporary placeholder because they’re trying to transfer reviews between listing’s. I’m sure there’s more possibilities.
