New Twitter Email SPAM Circulating

I received an email today that looked like it was from Twitter asking me to confirm my email for receiving messages. If you receive any email like this, do not click any links in the message. The links will take you to a website that looks like Twitter but setup to collect your login information. They will be able to take over and spam your account.

To verify, go straight to your Twitter account, login, and look to see if you have any pending messages.  Here is some content from the email:

From: “ANNABELL Farley” <ANNABELLFarley@dsl.poltel.us>
To: youremail@yourdomain.com
Subject: Twitter via Email your name
