Meet Abdinoor Abdinoor, a 20-year-old from Maine.
Mercedes challenged Abdinoor, who describes himself as a "social media influencer", to get 20 million retweets for a car.
Can't believe they responded.. HELP ME OUT GUYS!! This is awesome
He said that he already has a car and wanted to gift the Mercedes to his mum.
Abdinoor said "I thought 'wow, it's cool to see so many people support a movement, I think I can do something similar with something I like'".
Abdinoor's tweet got to 5,000 retweets in a couple of hours and that's when Mercedes messaged him to reveal that it was a prank.
Abdinoor didn't get it at first as he offered to give them his address.
But Mercedes said it was delivered to his DMs 💀.
He said he was disappointed at the joke.
#BoycottMercedes fuck your brand @MBUSA
Abdinoor said, "Didn't expect to get trolled by a major company like that. I assumed they'd ignore me before messing with me like that."
He said that Mercedes haven't said anything to him since.
Some people didn't support the idea.
@Abdinoorx2 @AyoJaguda @MBUSA Good, go get a job and buy your own car and stop with this RT nonsense lol
And some found it funny.

@Abdinoorx2 @Maryothe1st @MBUSA
Abdinoor said "Everyone's either salty for me, or absolutely dying. It's a hilarious situation so I don't blame them. I mean, what company goes out of their way to prank someone so hard."
