I just received two emails in the last 1/2 both messages look like someone is sending a direct message from Twitter but in fact are trying to get you to sign into a forged site.

The emails are coming from people I follow on Twitter so it looks credible  but its not.

Here is what the email say:

“”Hey this user is making really bad things about you”

The email then has a link that it wants you to click on which goes to a twitter phishing site, twititre.com

DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE EMAILS, DO NOT CLICK THE LINK & DON’T PUT IN YOUR USER ID OR PASSWORD.

You might also want to go into your real twitter.com account and change your password I just did.
