But according to the investigation, this is not a phishing attack, apparently, Twitter accidentally sends emails confirming the user account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"473\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/xiarch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/twitter-scam-image2.jpg\" alt=\"Twitter Accidentally Spams Emails that Asked the User to Confirm their Twitter Account!\" class=\"wp-image-1695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xiarch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/twitter-scam-image2.jpg 473w, https:\/\/xiarch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/twitter-scam-image2-244x300.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After some time the organization also sends a tweet which contains that; \u201c<strong>Some of the users have received an email while confirm your twitter account that you were not expecting at this time.
