Is Your Twitter Account Sending SPAM?

Is Your Twitter Account Sending SPAM?

TwitterThe other day I received a direct message (DM) from a local follower, who I trust because they are dedicated to developing a community consensus on Lakeland’s future. The message read “I make money online with google. I learned how here…”link” I clicked on the (SPAM) link; clearly, I was not thinking straight this should have put up a big red flag in my brain…  I even responded to the DM as follows, “I’m always skeptical when it comes to ad like this – does it really work –be honest and how did you go about it”. What was I thinking?

Today, I received a message from my follower saying that their Twitter account has been compromised and to please follow the direction with the link.  I followed the instruction from a good friend Chuck Welch and followed “8 Steps if Your Twitter Account is Sending Spam” to the tee.

If you got caught up with a SPAM direct message from a trusted follower, please take extra caution to prevent spammers from hacking into your account.
