Luxbet hoaxes Twitter with fake account hijack by ‘fired’ social media manager
Sports betting company Luxbet has hoaxed its followers this morning by pretending its Twitter account had been hijacked by a fired social media manager, in a stunt to promote its new app.
‘Dave’ posted a screenshot of the email he was sent this morning telling him he was being fired for not posting enough to the social media feeds, with a gap of nine days since the last content went up on Twitter.
What the hell??? Just got fired on my day off… pic.twitter.com/7SIajtkx2x

In a time where effectiveness and efficiency are more important than ever, we get a tired old hoax masquerading as an idea. ROI it seems stands for Return On Idiocy at Luxbet. But please, point me to the stats that show how many times this fabulous new app has been installed to prove me wrong.
Why deliver free Domino’s pizzas? Should have offered free bets – now THAT would increase your app downloads/web traffic
I suspect 12,400+ followers barely noticed…
