Thanks for the warning.
Looking at the original page of the paid ad's it's obvious it all kind of be scam.
We should always be careful what we click online this days because anyone can pay for ads nowadays on any social media and they will just appear in almost everyone's page. Apart from selling of the collected information I believe they should also have other means of trying to manipulate the collected users data, either other forms of trying to hack through it's device or something. Selling of the user information can't just be their only reason behind this kind of scam.

I believe that my data was already compromised before through them and that's why I've received some fake emails telling me that they've got me a new Ledger wallet and I've won their raffle. And with that image, as Facebook and the same just as google ads, a potential scammer/hacker can easily advertise their words and links through the said social networking website. They're no longer too strict with policies on who's able to advertise through their platform and who's not. As long as someone is paying for that sponsorship or advertising, that won't matter to them. Before, they've banned ICO advertising but later on lifted it so I guess these scammers are taking advantage of it. Ledger has already made a warning at the top of their website about potential phishing. And I believe that form will lead to that.

Beware of phishing attacks, Ledger will never ask for the 24 words of your recovery phrase. Never share them.

A group is doing this to collect personal information of crypto users with the tempting offer of Ledger IPO. They are collecting important information like name, email, phone number of crypto users. I saw this ad multiple times today on Facebook, and realized it was a scam. But many crypto users may have already given their information, so that in the future they will sell that information to various places. There is no official news about Ledger's IPO, so whoever is running this campaign has no good intentions, they are data scammers.
