Twitter Fraud...Beware of Malware!

[coosbaytv]

I have heard Leo Laporte mention several times now that he is getting Direct Messages on Twitter that say: "I saw you in this video" and then have a shortened url to click on.
Well, he knows better so never clicks on them because they are coming from someone he doesn't know.
The link is MALWARE! This is a new scam/trick that the hackers are using so beware!

And also please do not click on the link which says "Get 100 followers by a single clik etc" those will simply become a head ache later...
