The submission contains severe red flags and fraudulent claims. While 'NovoSource' was a real orthopedic implant company (liquidated circa 2017), the project description provided ('supply chain management... climatetech') contradicts the actual business type. The traction claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false. The project 'GoldenWalker' appears to be fabricated or unrelated to the defunct entity.
