Beware Twitter DM Hacker About and it's not me!

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say a couple of things and also ask if anyone else here is having the problem of Direct Messages being sent to your followers but they are not from you and your followers are being sent a link to a dubious site which is now shut down?

This has happened to my Twitter account (thanks to Bev Clement and Mark Rafferty for alerting me to this).

I have now reported it by the way so I am here to point out to any of my followers, if you have had weird messages from me in the last few days, they are NOT from me, please do not click the link in the message.

I have now also changed my twitter username and password in the hopes that this will stop it.

I can't send messages on twitter today to let people know about this because whatever/whoever scumbag is doing this has taken my account over the limit of daily allowed DMs - so the other reason for coming here is to let my followers know as I know I have a lot of followers from the Warrior Forum.

So beware people and anyone getting these messages from someone you follow, please do not assume it is them doing so, perhaps send them a tweet or a message as Mark and Bev did with me so they can check it out.

Thanks
Sue
