20 minutes ago there was tweet saying they would issue a one month of free Skype calls[1].

5 minutes later they deleted the tweet, issuing a new one[2] that says: "Sorry – the last tweet was posted in error. We’re 100% focused on getting Skype back in action. Stay tuned for more information."

Your title is misleading. How is what they did "faking" a promo? That implies some sort of fraud. What evidence do you have that they attempted to intentionally misinform, or defraud, customers? Cuz I sure don't see it in your post.
