So the bloke has 0 followers and follows one person - so clearly not a real/genuine poster.
The website is also a fake - it's not a BBC site at all - so sure the story is probably fake too.
This came up on my twitter feed labelled as an Ad.
Who would be behind this and why would come up with cr*p like this for my consumption? Am sure some would get taken in, not understanding it all tbh

It's all aimed at going after the low-hanging fruit.
Given the number of impressions they've probably paid for, all it needs is for 0.1% of those looking at it to be conned into depositing the £250 they'll never see again and they'll make a mint. And that's without taking into account those of their marks who can be conned into parting with even more of their cash. [Post edited 24 Mar 2025 17:12]

Probably gathered up address, browser, location data etc, possibly dropped a cookie which will help build the profile of the visitor, as other sites may well build on that cookie through other sites. This can then build a profile if the user, what they like, to further drive internet feeds etc. | | | |

So would I be sensible to clean my cookies?
Can I set things up to do this each day anyway? | |

I think it's just the nature of Twitter these days. The accounts you follow, punctuated with wall-to-wall scams since any semi-decent companies pulled their advertising. | |
