They may admire and connect with your wit, point of view, and humor, or they may have you confused with someone else. Sometimes a random person might follow you in order to get a follow in return. This is a common practice for people who want to build up their followers. More followers means more visibility, whether you just want attention or genuinely have something to promote. Not all random people have innocuous reasons for following you on Twitter. Hackers and internet criminals may send out malicious Twitter bots to follow you.
Malicious bots spread links to malware. These links are often disguised as shortened links so that the dangerous link is obscured from view.
Before you click on a random short link on Twitter, use a link expansion service to inspect it so you can decide whether its destination is somewhere you really want to go. Random followers might also be spammers, who use every possible avenue, including Twitter feeds, to spread their messages.
Spammers follow a massive number of accounts hoping for follow-backs, increasing their audience. If you report a tweet as spam, Twitter blocks the user from following you or replying to you but doesn't automatically suspend the account.
It's easy to report spammers to Twitter. Select Followers from your Twitter home page, and then select the button to the left of the Follow button and choose Report. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.
