Twitter Scam's are actually something that is pretty common nowadays. But not in the way that you would think. A typical Twitter Scam would be Twitter spamming you links to sites where you are forced to buy stuff or download spyware and that type of thing.

• No Profile Image But A Lot Of Followers
- If you see the default brownish/blue face as their picture, and they don't look brand new then they are probably trying to Twitter Scam you. My best advice in this case would be to either remover them as a follower or better yet, block the suckers!

• Plenty Of Followers But Hardly Any Tweets
- Here is yet another sign of a Twitter Scam. When you come across a profile with nothing but a few Tweets but they somehow have thousands of followers then you will know for sure that they are some Twitter Scammers/Spammers.
