Spammers trick Facebook and Twitter users

Spammers trick users on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter into divulging personal information.

the third factor they rely on is just how dumb the average user is. Come on, how much common sense do you need to smell a rat?

I wish people can spam idiot more and email them a darwin award

Common sense is just not so common after all and no product can prevent stupidity .

Every time somebody "attaches" themselves to my Twitter account, I visit their account, and check what they have to say.

9 times out of 10 it's a twammer, and get blocked immediately. Had 2 this month alone, expecting that figure to increase sharply.

I have enabled URL preview on tinyURL, so if somebody will send me a malicious URL, I'll be able to pick it up before I go visit that.

So far I haven't been sent any funny stuff, and I don't click on links sent by unknown persons either.

common sense ain't, it's rather uncommon

I don't get twam because twats have to get pre-approved before they can follow my tweets

My, ... look what's happened to English!

Security loopholes on Twitter like the use of TinyURL

Having worked in IT for 15 years and at various points having worked for callcentres, I really shouldn't be amazed by this level of incompetence, yet I still am.
