This article is about phishing scams happening with Twitter after the charging of the "blue check". Phishing means that hackers or scammers are trying to get your information via a fake email. In this case, the scammers are pretending to be "Twitter service'', sending emails to make the app user confirm their "blue check". Ways the user can prevent these scams are by reading before clicking on the link, confirming the sender's email, and in this case reaching out directly to Twitter.
