If you get a Twitter direct message containing a blogspot.com link, don’t click it – it may be a phishing scam

Read this, says Twitter.

For the few people who don’t know, ‘phishing’ is the attempt to obtain personal data from you usually via emails or messages pretending to be from your bank, PayPal, mobile phone provider or other supplier or utility.  These links take you to a fake site and encourage you to ‘validate’ or ‘unblock’ your account by (re)supplying your personal details which can then be used fraudulently by the ‘phisher’.
