Twitter Scam

Twitter is one of my favorite online past times. However, there has been an increase in spam, scams and there are also people trying to capitalize on what I like to call human reaction. Twitter has been doing a great job of combating it, but just incase here is what you need to look out for. When someone follows you on Twitter, your first instinct is to see who is following you, thats fine, but I recommend NOT clicking on their profile link if they are are following a large number of people (usually 1999 or 2000)and only have a few followers, and very few posts because their Twitter profile was more than likely set up to get as many people to see their link in the hopes that people will click on it. These links can lead to anywhere, to porn sites, scam sites, and sites which install malware on your computer. Twitter is a great website and they react quickly to people trying to scam their users so if you have any problems let them know. They will flag the culprit and investigate. If they find abuse they will delete the user. Follow us on Twitter
