Aaarrrggghhh Twitter nightmare.

On Wednesday, in my silliness and probably due to my illess, I stupidly clicked a link to a video that came via a DM on Twitter. I very soon found out that it was a phishing scam, that it had sent out DMs to all my followers with the same link and that my account was now completely messed up. I had to keep logging into my account and from time to time I’d be locked out, I couldn’t sent DMs to anyone as I had filled up my quota for yesterday with the nearly 400 that had been sent etc, etc… The final straw came yesterday morning when I again tried to login in and Twitter didn’t even recognise my username of Langwitch or my email address. Enough was enough! I decided to take a big step and re-invent myself as @helenalangwitch – same picture, similar name, same silly tweets that people have come to know and love! However, before the end of the evening my old account came back to life! Don’t know how and don’t know why, so I’ve decided to remain @langwitch for the foreseeable future(I like the name and think she’s fun much more fun that @helenalangwitch anyway). I will keep the other account for emergencies, or who knows I may become one of those people who only follows celebs with that account – can’t see as it would be very interesting though ;o)

Anyway, I henceforth promise never to do anything silly like clicking on dodgy links in the future and apologise for confusion caused. I am sure the combination of medications I’m taking at the moment must in some way have contributed to the sorry state of affairs I found myself in, but that’s a whole other blog post!

Finally I also want to say thank you to my wonderful PLN for you understanding and for following @helenalangwitch in my time of need.
