   I received a lot of these messages too. I didn’t click any links and changed my password. Thanks for the warnings. Do people not have anything better to do!

    I got one of these from your account too and it just seemed out of character for you to send something like that as a DM so I’m glad I didn’t open it. Just in case, I’m changing my password too.

    I have recieved one from you but I ignored because I have been getting a lot of them from various bloggers. I knew it had to be a scam. So sorry it is happening to you.

    I don’t have a Twitter account, but I figured it was only a matter of time that somebody figured out how to do this on Twitter. There are just some really rotten people out there. Can’t we just all be nice to each other?
