Fake Twitter Phishing Email from the address “support@twitter.com ”

Today Morning I received one mail which did not get caught by Gmail’s spam filter. It had me believing it was real since I hadn’t seen phishing email pretending to be Twitter before.

The email was supposedly from the address “support@twitter.com ” telling me my account was suspended for excessive following. You can see a screenshot the email.

While I knew I hadn’t recently followed a bunch of people, I thought maybe someone had hacked my account and followed people and that the email might be legit, until I read that I needed to click a link to “complete some offers” for to avoid account suspension.

After that when I check my twitter statistics, its 10000% Phishing attack. Check the below screen shot.

Further examination revealed the link to be “http://mexico.cnn.com/redirectComplete.php?url=//bit%2Ely/ouvgwt” which redirects to “http://emailus.it.tc/” where you can see offers to complete.

Obviously, not from Twitter. Beware.

UPDATE: I just send an email to twitter on support@twitter.com and below is the response.
