Twitter Spam Beware

I have lately started to get unauthorised emails pretending to be from twitter as well as spammers trying to add me to their twitter page etc.

Just thought i would make you aware of the latest which initially fooled me as it looked very genuine (and i wasn't fully awake either so wasn't as diligent as usual.)

The email will say something like:

"Hi, you have 1 delayed message/s"

Then a link to click which looks like this:

"Twitter.com/account/messages/*********" (Bunch of numbers)

Clicking on the link though will take you elsewhere. In this case my Apple Mac (using Camino browser) alerted me not to open the page as:

"This web site at ********** has been reported as a malware site and has been blocked for your protection.

Malware sites try to install programs that steal private information, use your computer to attack others, or damage your system."
