As many Twitter users I do check Retweetist regularly to check out what’s hot; this morning I sadly discovered TweeterGetter (by @garymccaffrey) at the top of the list, just another multi-level pyramidal scam, asking full access to your account in exchange for thousand of unknown @followers.
The site consist of a single page full of the usual multi-level jargon, ending in a form where you are supposed to enter your Twitter username and password (you really trust them right?!) and submit, this will send a canned message through the Twitter API and automatically force you to follow 5 or 6 people that already entered the multi-level scheme; your followers are then supposed to click the link and also expose their full credentials to TwitterGetter.
Aside from the general, theoretical unsustainability of such schemes, I believe this can really trash the Twitter platform in no time! first the whole value of your Twitter account is in the fine-tuning of your following/follower population, moreover adding people at random results into an immense amount of noise flowing around the Web for no reason.
I really hope Twitter headquarters will react promptly; please contact them about this, and do retweet a warning instead of TweeterGetter message, let’s get viral too!

















word!!
let’s keep hammering at this bastard!
