I have a twitter account. Mainly because I thought that one day I might try and work out what twitter was about and how to use it, and because every now and then tv shows like qanda tell me I can twitter messages to them although I have never worked out how to do that. I have never been interested in posting anything on twitter, nevertheless recently I seem to have acquired two followers!! Their accounts are filled with tweets that are strangely similar and seem like they have been generated by a poor script version of Elisa.
Perhaps there is some king of twitter follow spam system?
A quick google gives me how to stop twitter-bot spam.

Oh dear.
And how to unfollow followers:

Hmmmm, this account is probably more trouble than it's worth.
