Most Twitter users have encountered Britney Spears spam by now and depending on the size and visibility of your Twitter account you might be suffering more than others.
If your not familiar with it yet let me try and give you a description in a completely safe for work way.
Spammer register fake accounts like "Se5y67" and other such names and include a picture of what is known in the business as the Britney BJ picture, it's not her its been around for donkey years but it looks spookily like her at the angle they have captured.
Miss Britz will promise lots of interesting things in her tweet along with a link, DON'T CLICK IT! I also have no idea whats on the other side of the link, but reports suggest a variety of scams / viruses and malware attacks you really want to avoid.
Dealing with Miss Britney
As I say depending on how visible your account is in the Twittersphere you may just get the occasional message or a flood everyday the easiest way to deal with the message is to use the BLOCK & SPAM option on Twitter.com or in your Twitter client. The more people that block that user the quicker Twitter will shut the account down.
If you want to retrospectively clean your Twitter account followers for these sorts of accounts use Twitblock and it will show you spam accounts that follow you.
To 100% automate removing spam from your Twitter account give TweetSpinner a try, it's a pro-tool but can save you loads of time if you get a lot of Britney spam or spam in general.
