This spam Twitter account has caught our attention. It seems to be automatically mentioning other users the exact same tweet, except that there are various Yahoo IDs that are being randomly generated from a list.
@YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME Random but my friend Adriana seen your pics,is her yahoo name add her online she thinks your hot
The scammer has made it too obvious for dumb Twitter users to fall into the trick as once you open his/her page, you can see similar tweets for other users. How many female friends do this "person" has who, at the same period of time, happen to think so many Twitter users are hot and willing to share with him/her?
We have no idea what is the scam about but it definitely is seeking all potential victims to email or add the "babe" in Yahoo Messenger.
Anyway, some of the Yahoo IDs listed are of following:
stimulating890babe
bieber72chick
adri18stunning
sugar2audriana91
angel89adriana
beach7983babe

Note that there are some similarities in the user IDs. The Yahoo accounts could be created via certain software that has managed to break into Yahoo's registration spam protection.
We hope this has helped to broaden your skill in exposing fake Twitter accounts.
Found my way here because the same scam is being attempted through text message. The number is 442 222 5873, and it's sending (i'm assuming) mass texts out saying something along the lines of: "sup? cutie I been dreaming about you , could we chat - y ahoo lovingadri5745"
