More rogue applications are catching Twitter users off their guard today, helping scammers earn money by spreading links that point to online surveys.
Following other attacks this weekend, which saw users spreading messages about a girl who killed herself and how addicted they were to Twitter, new messages are appearing on Twitter claiming to count how long users have been members of the tweeting service:
