    Yep. All the time. Annoys the flip out of me. I have Twitter set up so that I get an email when someone replies to a tweet I've made so I just click the "report user for spam" button in the email.

    So annoying though. :(

    Every few days a random tweet appears with a spam link. (the tweeter has no followers or follows, so very suspicious)

    I report / block as they just fire off spam to a random list.

    Usually see them at night, some pic of a 'girl' or fat loss stuff usually and I just report for spam instantly.

    What about the ones that say 'daily news from *** etc, what is that format about?

    I am surprised how many of my followers appear to be Russian or are looking for jokers
