I am fully aware of spam in the email. I read them everyday
and then delete it. It is just the way it goes everyday. No much attention is
given to it. It does not affect me at all, so it is fine. Then one day, I
opened my Yahoo mail and read my inbox (it is an everyday routine for me) and
found a Direct Message from Twitter. I opened it and read “Someone is spreading
nasty rumors about you, creep” then a link. I was alarmed. What does it mean? I
never did anything wrong. I tried to enter the website that was in the link
over and over again but it was blocked by twitter itself. I was curious? I
asked myself again, what it is in this website that it is blocked. One last
try, I told myself, it was still blocked but I read from it that it was blocked
because it steals identity of the user. Now, I can breathe easier, there is
something wrong here and I need to find out what it is.
Then the day after, my direct message is full, all my followers
have messages that are the same. I told myself it can’t be. I know the rules of
Twitter, if your not following that person, you can’t DM them. I asked my close
friend who is following me on twitter. What’s the nasty rumor is? After couple
of hours, he answered me “SPAM”. For a while I felt shocked. So this is spam,
it is not only on email where many people are telling you, you won on lottery
that does not exist at all. It is also telling lies about you to visit websites
that does steal your identity and try to use your account for their own
purposes. Creep indeed. I’m so happy my friend told me earlier so that I become
aware. Curiosity kills the cat, that’s a reminder for each one of us. Let us be
aware about spam. It can lure us. They can be from people we follow or follower
on twitter.
Just a
reminder, to you my dearest readers!
Have you
