Some folks on twitter just cannot play nice.  As in ALL online activity, be wary of any links you click on.  A recent example of a phishing link can be found in the bio here > https://twitter.com/swtchks017 .  (Note: this handle was changed back to @Liberata017 https://twitter.com/liberata017 )

In this case Twitter is aware that this is an unsafe link and warns you if you click on it. 

This phishing link is a service by Bvog(dot)com.
