A prankster set up an account to look like pharma giant Eli Lilly on Thursday, tweeting, “We are excited to announce insulin is free now.”

The real Eli Lilly, which has the handle LillyPad, apologized for the imposter on Thursday. But the fake account had over 1,500 retweets and 10,000 likes before it was deleted, according to the Washington Post.
