Rude Twitter Private Messages

Yesterday had a really explicit mucky DM on Twitter with an invitation to click for more :o . No-one I follow, just one of those random messages / spam that occasionally happen when comping.  Not that I've had any for a long time. 
But then, this morning, another. Not quite as explicit, tho I'm sure it would have been if I'd followed her link.
You'd have thought my username, same as here would have given a clue that I'm a woman of a certain age rather than some bloke gagging for a cheap thrill.
My point for posting - has anyone else had any recently?

    You can change it so you only get messages from people you follow (which, I assume you will be following any you're entering comps with).

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

     How awful, I've had strange messages but nothing like that. Usually just bots wanting me to do amazon reviews. 

     Hope you reported them each time x
