Your Account Has Been SUSPENDED !!!
If you use Twitter (and you definitely should be) you need to be aware should you receive this email, this has been going around and it is a scam/spam email. There are some things you can do to safeguard yourself.
First check out the email, (posted below) doesn't seem likely that Twitter would have you "complete some offers" in order to do anything with your account. Also be sure to hover your mouse over the links to see where they will be leading you. Just hover over the "click here...." link and you will see that it would be sending you to a free offers site. Spam, Spam, Spam
Always to be sure go to your Twitter account and check and see if you are truly suspended, it will notify you at the top of your account usually in a color header bar of the suspension.
As far I know these emails are not a virus, merely a spam email, however it never hurts to avoid any such email. Take the time to report it to Twitter so the IP address can be dealt with by the Twitter staff.
See email below, and feel free to pass around....
