Domain Investing Stats and Tips

Check your Twitter account for DM spam

Check your Twitter account for DM spam

First off I want to apologize to anyone who got a DM on Twitter from Hybrid Domainer, we never send out spam and only connect with people we know or someone we have other contact info such as phone and email to contact about an interview.

I had been speaking with Kristen Reilly from Sedo and got a DM from her, since it was a trusted source and the message linked to something that I thought was about what we were talking about, I signed in with Twitter. That was the mistake, Kristen had her account hacked and she did not authorize the DM.

Here are some things to do if this has happened to you, check out the steps from Rays 20 (no relation) They provide an excellent step by step what to do.

Secondly I used inboxcleaner.com to delete all these DM's. This was a great resource, I had deleted 50 by hand one at a time.

I want to thank https://twitter.com/AndreaWhitmer from Nuts and Bolts Media as she alerted me to this on Twitter while I was doing something else and did not know about the Direct Message spam.
