New Twitter Phishing Scam

Recently a friend of mine received a strange email supposedly via Twitter.   The message claimed that someone was spreading negative information about them via a blog linked to Twitter, see the message below, 

 

So if you click on the link here is what you get, 

This is a clasic phishing scheme tied to Twitter.  You enter your Twitter account User ID and Password and then get your account compromised.  Always be wary of a unsolicited email from some you do not know.   Verify the links, especially if the go to a URL different from the stated location.

As always if you have any questions, please contact me via comments.
