Why have I got an email from Twitter saying my password has been compromised and quoting my AB user name, when I don't have a Twitter account?

[bookbinder]

Someone's trying it on, probably from eastern Europe.

[craft1948]

But how do they know my AB name and corresponding email addy?

[askyourgran]

Thats odd craft, how could they manage to do that? Is there a return address where you can ask where they got it. btw did you try my e-add without the dot at the end of uk?

[craft1948]

I don't know ayg but I'm not happy about it.............I'll try your email again.

[jackthehat]

Are you sure that you didn't join Twitter?

I did and it only occurs to me that I did rarely mainly because I remember the 'Is that it?' feeling once I had had a mooch about......but I couldn't tell you what my sign-up details were/are.....:o/

[craft1948]

No Jack I do belong to another couple of forums but Twitter has never appealed to me...........

[ummmm]

Ed posts AB threads on twitter.....don't know about your email though...

[craft1948]

I'll just hope that the Ed sees this thread and can supply an answer.........

[jackthehat]

I joined.........it still doesn't appeal! :o)

No idea what to suggest, I'm afraid.

[AB Editor]

Sounds dodgy to me. Can you forward it on to us?

We can assume this isn't you? [Edited]

[factor-fiction]

Odd- there is a craft1948 on Twitter
[Edited]
But that clearly isn't you.
There seems to be craft1948s on youtube, ebay etc- maybe one of those is you and lists your email address

[AB Editor]

I have a feeling you signed up ages ago as there was a peroid when ABers were using twitter and tinychat to natter to each other, and if you look at the oldest tweets... this is indicated.

[ummmm]

Was it this one?

[factor-fiction]

Oh, Ed beat me to it

[sherrardk]

I had an email from Twitter today but deleted it without reading it. I did join Twitter but couldn't understand it so never went back.

[ummmm]

Yes Craft....that's where you seen my eyebrows....lol

[AB Editor]

However I have no idea what has happened to it.

Forward the mail on and I'll have a look at it, I'll drop you an email tomorrow just after lunch?

[craft1948]

It's not me on youtube or ebay either............
