Spam from support@twitter.com!! Viagra Spammer on the way

Just received a strange sounding e-mail from support@twitter.com (screen shot) with the title Undelivered Message 22-318.

The screen shot looks like this

actual twitter email spam or scam

The problem is that the real link for this mysterious delayed message doesn't lead you to your Twitter account!

Support@twitter.com email leads you to a reported attack page!

Be aware of E-Mails coming from support@twitter.com - They are not really from Twitter.

In Twitter they talk that if you click through to the Reported Attack Page you might get a visit from malicious software, trojans or a Viagra website will be displayed!

UPDATE: On 29th April 2010 i got a second email from support@twitter.com - with a slightly different message (You have 3 unread messages) which means you should take care - it's not over yet (the redirected URL changed, too!).

  1. Thanks for the heads-up, Martin! I've been fooled in the past by phoney twitter apps... I won't be fooled again!

  2. These days hackers and online fraudsters are all over the place and we have to be well informed to protect ourselves from falling into their traps

    thanks for this warning post, Martin! Keep up the good work. I won't be clicking on any of the links sent by upport@twitter.
