Twitter Scam Warning!!!!!

There is a new email that has been circulating that is phishing for emails. If you get this email - DO NOT RESPOND - DO NOT CLICK ANY LINKS - Delete it right away.

We have started to intercept a spam campaign with the subject “Twitter Notifications”, send from randomly spoofed email addresses, that leads to U.S. Drugs web site.

You will notice the email looks something similar to the screenshot below.

Twitter Scam Warning!!!!!

The email contains the Twitter logo and a basic lay out. The included URL appears to be leading to the twitter.com site, along with some userid variables to make it appear genuine, but behind the URL we can notice different web site addresses with each email.

The URL leads to the web site of U.S. Drugs where you can buy…. viagra and others. What else?

The emails can register your responses according to the links, and store your email as an active account, in which case you will only GROW the amount of spam you will be getting, and thus increasing the chances you will also receive other things you really don't want, like Trojans, and Viruses.

The best thing to do, is to DELETE them immediately!
