WARNING: Tweeticlub Spam Invades Twitter Trending Topics

While Twitter's efforts to reduce spam may be working, the scammers are resilient. Their newest attack surrounds spamming Twitter with TWEETICLUB links that lead to products that are most likely scams to take your money.

Tweeticlub has been trending for over an hour now (Update: It's been removed from Trending Topics, although spammers are still creating hundreds of spam tweets around it). Every link you find though includes a link to "hop.clickbank.net", an Internet retailer that sells digital products. The service is being harnessed by spammers though to reach Twitter's vast audience.

We strongly suggest not visiting any links related to the TWEETICLUB trending topic.. We've sent a note to the Twitter team about the issue, and will let you know if we learn anything more.
