CrimeTweets: Twitter Job Deals scam on Twitter

Today Cyberwarzone received multiple Tweets that contained a shortened hyperlink to the job-deals.com website. The first thing that was noticed quickly was that the usernames were all containing the same prefix. [name][number][random].
The profiles have no followers and they are not following anyone either. Weird.
Once you click on the link you will be redirected to the twitter.job-deals.com website. This is an website that tries to trick you in earning online money by signing up for an survey module.
On the twitter.job-deals.com page they will only collect your e-mail and username that you wish to use.
Once that is done and you have setup your account you will be redirected to another survey website where they request you to provide more information.
  1. username
  2. password
  3. full name
  4. country
These scams are the oldest in the book. In these type of scams they will obtain personal information step by step.
