RE:
You should do what the rest of us do - When you receive one of those True Twit Validation DMs, report it as spam and then tweet that you reported it and why. Be sure to use "@GoTrueTwit" and "#TrueTwit" in those tweets.
Destroy true twit. |

RE:
Yes I wondered as well, did a search and came up with this from part of an article:
TrueTwit is a diabolical little app that turns Twitter users into spambots by sending a DM (direct message) to everyone who chooses to follow them stating, “[so-and-so] uses TrueTwit Validation Service. Please click here to validate.” The link then leads to a “verification” page on TrueTwit’s website, where the victim (the person who was unfortunate enough to follow a TrueTwit user) must solve a captcha puzzle in order to be blessed by the mysterious TrueTwit gods and declared–cue the singing of angels–to be not a spambot. Ostensibly this is so the TrueTwit user can be “confident” that if they follow the victim back, they’re not following a spambot. In other words, TrueTwit is a computer that asks a human being to solve a captcha puzzle to prove they are not a computer. |
