A new social engineering trick involves using Twitter-like emails to encourage users to click on links. The link in the one I received showed adamsgrovepasofino.com for the destination. A rule of thumb for checking links in Outlook, just over the mouse over the link, it will often show a pop-up with where the link goes.

Similar to other fishing schemes, the Twitter Administration email contains the same characteristics as the IRS, UPS, and FedEx emails. Through leveraging inherent business needs or anxiety, the email grabs attention and encourages users to click links to infected sites.
Delete, mark as spam, or use a program like Cloudmark Desktop One (pro or free version) to shovel the spam off to junk mail.
