The emails are claiming to have video of you, but send you to a phishing site to harvest your Twitter account info.

    Actually, that’s also been hanging around facebook for about a month or so.

    Facebook started cleaning up the comments that contain that same type of link over the past weekend, so let’s see when twitter starts doing cleanups.

    What if you were duped??? What can you do?

  • boadicea says:

    Elizabeth, change your passwords. Immediately.

  • james says:

    If you have already entered your Twitter credentials I would immediately go into your account and change your password and never use that same password again in future.

    This goes without saying for any third party apps you may have issues with or potential issues with.

    Your Twitter password is as important as you bank card pin pass. Be careful whom you give access to your account.
