How do you verify that “Omega” really is Omega and not a drunk in a bar? I can’t think of a way of doing it—so it sounds like a fraud to me.
Why is the Omega asking me, when it already knows my answer? So what happens to Omega/the universe when I say no?
If he asks me the question, I have already answered the question, so I don’t need to post this comment. I acted as I did. But i didn’t act as I did (Omega hasn’t shown up in my part of the universe), so we all know my answer.

If some guy walked up to you and gave you this spiel, you’d be fully justified in telling him to get lost, or even seeking mental help for him.
The problem assumes Omega to be genuine, and trustworthy.
