No one I know but it's entirely possible.

Be advised, fellow Twitterites- someone is trying to run a phishing scam posing as an official Twitter rep/entity.

Twitter Engineering and Operations are on the case but if you receive a Direct Message with a blogspot.com link in it that redirects to what seems like Twitter.com do not enter your Twitter credentials. If you look at the URL, you'll notice that it is not really Twitter but twitter.access-logins.com—a sketchy phishing site.

Every where you go there is someone out there to mess you around.

Geekyfanboy · January 05, 2009, 09:57:24 AM

I have about 150 followers who I don't know.. just part of the twitter community.

Yeah there's a bunch I don't know who follow me, basically if it looks like they aren't blatantly a bot or someone jsut plugging their blog I follow them back.

Sometimes Twitter members use tags to look for people the think they would want to follow. If you used a word that he used as a tag, it's possible that is why he is now following you. That happened to me a few times. In fact, Owen Lars started following me...LOL. Guess I mentioned Star Wars too many times. I usually read their Tweets and if they aren't a salesman or a corporation I keep them. But I don't have nearly the number of people following me that Kenny has.

Yeah I had Jesus following me for a few days after I started following Father Rodrick. It only took a few days before he realized that was a mistake and stopped following me.

LOL, could be a Spanish name, pronounced "Heysuse"... It does mean Jesus, but it's a Hispanic cultural thing. But I guess it depends on the Twitter posts. Has he Tweeted the Golden Rule (love one another as I have loved you)? ;)

I have alot of followers because of The Guild and Felicia.. she mentioned me in one of her twits and I gained about 70 people in a few days.. the power of Felicia Day.

Oh no it was the real Jesus.. :) I could tell from his twits.

Wow... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, Kenny. I just read a few posts and they seem okay, but I obviously haven't read them all...As a believer I would feel strange if I had to "block Jesus", because the dude pretending to be him says something that isn't at all accurate. I wish people wouldn't do that...it's sort of creepy. :)
