Twitter

How does this site work?

I have just received an email from Twitter saying someone wants to follow my 'tweets' and gives my user id and email address from this site.

I have never registered on Twitter.

[NoMercy]

I'm not sure how it works, but can certain threads from answerbank be on twitter? Someone may have seen you that way?

[mccfluff]

that's a bit scary!

[craft1948]

well yes as the email says..........***** ******* knows your email address!!

[sara3]

that's a bit weird. have you googled the interested party?

[craft1948]

no sara...will give it a go.....

[AB Editor]

That seems odd craft. Possibly a phishing scam?

Did the email give you your details or did the person sending the message via twitter?

This is the email from Twitter.....I hope I've starred out all names


***** ****** (@*******) would like to follow your tweets (@craft1948) on Twitter.

***** ****** knows your email address: **************. But Twitter can't suggest you to users like *********** because your account (@craft1948) isn't configured to let users find you if they know your email address.

I don't use Twitter, but if you go to their site there must be a "contact us" option. maybe you can forward the mail?

I'd be wary of any links in the mail you've received.

I've googled and found a guy with the same name on FB......I don't recognise him or any of his friends..........

[sara3]

well... tell us who he is then, lol!

[craft1948]

nooooo sara that's awful.....

[sara3]

I know ;o)

Sounds like a scam craft so be careful. You shouldn't show your 'Tweets' to anyone apart from the Builder and that's in the privacy of your Bedroom !
