Are You Being Twitter Spammed?

Everyone HATES Spam!
Face it, spam is going to happen no matter what. We get spammed in a wide variety of areas; email, phone calls, faxes, etc. Spammers attack us each and every day in our normal routine. Now with the ever growing popularity of Twitter, spammers are beginning to use this facet of social media to spam people. But wait! There is a great way to report twitter spammers you run across on twitter. All you need to do is follow @spam. It will follow you back meaning that you will be able to DM (Direct Message). Once you are following @spam, when you come across a possible spammer, all you need to do is DM with the users twittername. They will take care of the rest! Example:

It is as simple as that! My friend Daiv Russel (@DaivRawks) made a GREAT Tutorial on this matter that explains step by step the process I briefly went over above. ~ Kyle Reddoch
