Twitter apologies
Last night, I received a Twitter message from a National Post person, communicated in the way this person might communicate. It was late. When I tried to access his recommended link, I had to re-enter my password – which, on my Blackberry, Twitter occasionally asks you to do. So I did.
Big mistake! Only a few minutes later, when my pal Jill Fairbrother sent an identical Twitter message as the National Post one, did I realize I’d been spammed. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
To my 7,700 closest Twitter besties, I sincerely apologize for the weight-loss messages you have received; I apologize for future penis-enlargement messages you may receive. Some of your responses (below) have been hilarious. In the meantime, I have now changed my password, blah blah blah, and won’t be so gullible again. (I think.)
Apologies?? Why as I type I am getting thinner AND bigger. Nothing wrong with that WK. Nothing wrong with that.
LOL
At least it appears to be a benevolent worm in that it didn’t change your password and lock you out of your account.
Better throw that password away in case you use it for anything else.
next election a spam message will suddenly appear again telling all your contacts to go to a new polling station…….
and thanks again for showing mw why I want to avoid twitter….
I’ve lost 10 pounds since receving that message … Thank you, WKSlimfast!
hahahaha
