Where Socialising means Business

My Twitter account got phished.

Hello there. My twitter account @mrsgooding got phished during the DOS attack on Twitter late last week. This resulted in my account getting suspended. I have lodged a request with Twitter 5 days ago to lift the suspension. I've already provided evidence that the last tweet from my a/c wasn't me, etc etc. No response from them as yet.

Any suggestions on what I can do next?

Hi Christine, so sorry to hear about that!

You've gone through the right steps, and so the only thing to do is wait. And possibly set up another Twitter account :(

Sadly, you're not alone - here's a UK guy who had his account suspended.

Followup: good news, the petition to reinstate the UK guy's account was a success! http://act.ly/a1

Thanks for this, Simon. I left a comment on the link you gave me. Hopefully mine will get resolved soon!
