In fact, anytime I get a "you've got to see this!" email with a link, it goes straight to delete. If you change your password and you use other sites like Twitterfeed or TweetLater, be sure to update your info there. I get these on Facebook too and never open them.

These spammy DM messages to check other blogs have been terrible! I've gotten quite a few in the past day or so. I'm also telling everyone I know to change their passwords.

I jumped into to this. But think I acted fast so got everything cleaned up again. Good to see that twitter is on top of this an has closed the supisious account. I came in here to see if you had posted and Twitter Beware article to avoid jumping into this trap again. Did see on your Facebook site to be careful open any DM links. Maybe you will come up with an Twitter Beware article... Cheers.. Bummer. I jumped into to this. But think I acted fast so got everything cleaned up again.

I received an email from someone I am following on Twitter and the msg said: hey. i won an iphone! come see how here http://helloiphones.com ... yet there was no copy of the DM in my Twitter folder.

The dms weren't displayed in tweetdeck, but I got the mails. But I had WOT plugin installed and it didn't allow me to visit the site. I am lucky to be careful! I too got such mails.

Mostly from well known marketers with underscores in their names eg: __Derek__Ghel. Derek followed me using 5 different accounts Woot lol. NOT, no such user on Twitter. They are still coming. I just got another one, it seems _BobProctor__ is following me now. Maybe he will whisper a 'secret' in his tweets. I didn’t get any DM’s, but I did notice a lot of fake follow notices.
