Looks like there is a phishing scam spreading on Twitter. If you are a Twitter user you should heed the warning.

If your account has been temporarily locked you will need to send a help request to get it back. This may take some time however. There are likely hundreds of accounts affected.

Yeah I got one from a popular Bank...so authentic looking....had phone number, Olympic symbol..it was good, then I realize they do not even have that email address. I would say what it said which was very clever, but the bad guys come to the warrior forum too...taking notes.
