About 6pm EST the Twitter world has witnessed a massive DM response saying “hey! Check out this funny blog about you? http:/ / j an nawa litax. blogspot. com ” (Don’t click ont that link)

The link turned out to be a Re-Direct Phishing Scam to a Fake Twitter Log In Screen.  The idea behind this scam is of course tricking users thinking that they somehow logged off of Twitter and will need to re-enter their username and password.

Phishing in the cyberworld is a play-on-words for Fishing which shows scammers in the act of Fishing action to trick people into getting their Passwords.

Don’t Mess With The TwittPack

Twitter is a very tight community that if provoked can turn on you like a rabid wild wolf pack feeding off a hungry frenzy.  We all witnessed the Motrin Mom case where the Twitter world backlashed the Motrin PR people and ultimately started an uproar in the cyber world.

Now another case arises from this and this time the Tight Twitter community has turned on Scammers.  Below is an excerpt of just some conversations going on.  At the time of writing this article the Twitter Search trends has reached over thousands of Tweets just in a 30 minute span.

The Twitter spammer apparently comes from china (via PhishTank.com):

Organization : zhang xiaohu
Name : zhang xiaohu
Address : changningzhonghuainanlu192hao
City : changning
Province/State : Hunan
Country : CN
Postal Code : 421500 

 

The Twitter spammer will sadly feel the wrath of backlash in the Twitter World and will be another guinea pig made into example in not to mess with the Twitter Wolf Pack.

The wildfire has spreaded from the Twitter Staff to Google’s own poster child Matt Cutt.  The scammer who might of gotten away with this kind of thing if they kept this on the down low and really didn’t mass affect everyone but the scammer purley deserves this because you got to be insane to think that the Twitter community will not spread news faster than Superman.

 Now the scammer will more than likely be shut down, banned, pressed charges and be black balled in the cyberworld forever.

Within a half hour the Twitter Staff has uploaded a Static Banner across all the Twitter Home Screens

Power of the wolfpack!
