There are several sites enticing Twitter users to give them their username and password (yes password) in order to get more followers.

This site thousandfollowers.com looks a tad suspicious:

you need to give your full credentials and the "I agree with the Terms of Service" is pre-checked!



Watch what happens:





Yes, looks like spam doesn't it? Posting messages without my consent!

Better change my password!

The site's IP is located in the Netherlands and the Whois rather obscure:

Domain name: thousandfollowers.com



Registrant Contact:
WhoisGuard
WhoisGuard Protected ()

Wonder why? Do You? ;-)

The site also asks you to 'buy' VIP which it states will get you "followed when users login to our site".

Let me explain the scam in clear text:

I really want new followers badly and give out my personal information like thousands of other naive people. If I buy the VIP pass all those thousands of naive people will follow me. Guess how? Because their account is owned!



How many people fall for the scam? LOTS!!!
