You might have received an email that comes from support@twitter.com with the Subject: Twitter 902-41.

    It’d be great if everyone who click that link got that message, wouldn’t it?
    Which browser do you use? It must be an extension/plugin giving the warning message. Thanks for the heads up, btw.

    Hey, I just got one this morning too, only in the subject line it read: Undelivered Message 281-472

    This was my first twitter phishing email… usually they are made to look like them come from paypal or some bank. I always hover over the link and see where the url is going to … a dead giveaway!

    Those crooks!
