I got an interesting email about someone following me. I went to go check out there profile and Guess what I see:
As you cann se this account only had one post but people seem to be following back due to the picture and the bio. I checked the account about 30 mins later and here I will show you:
[ad#ad2-right]It seems that if people see it has a picture and a bio that doesn’t sound like it is is advertising anything, they will simply follow them back. That really isn’t a good idea. Sooner or later they will start sending out spam to people who are following just because they haven’t been caught. I also checked out the Web site they have new there bio and it leads to http://www.squidoo.com/twittertipstricks. I hope the website knows their link is being used by a spammer. Although this could be a 2 for one deal for having there link also being used for spammer so they can get traffic to there site. I would be worried my ISP doesn’t cut my website due to THE TOS. Although I serious doubt it would happen I do know it could happen. So users are being fooled by spammers, and people aren’t looking hard enough into the account. Users should be warned they shouldn’t just follow back if it looks like it is a person. I know this is a robot and expect it soon to start sending out spam to all those people who are following. I just thought I’d share what I found out. If you clicked on the tinyurl.com it sends you to Partnerwithpaul.com website which talks about making money like all other spam. Just be careful you don’t end up having regrets on following people who are bots.
