Inappropriate?I have the same problem--I suddenly went from 2 followers to 5, and the 3 new ones had different names but the same message that mashit links to above. Is there a way to report spammers? Obviously I can block each follower, but if this is going to continue, that's a lot of blocking.

Inappropriate?Twitter should start using CAPTCHAs to stop spam. These spammers are clogging up the databases.
I’m very annoyed

This solves the problem

A CAPTCHA is required when you signup, so a user has to manually signup. However, when adding friends or publishing tweets, it isn't possible to add a captcha in there because of all the API applications/mashups that wouldn't support the captcha verification. :| -
Inappropriate?I just received a "following" notice from "residualincome". Following the links, this is spam for a MLM scheme. Is anyone minding the store here?

Inappropriate?@AngelinaMurphy seems to have been removed now. Also, regarding @residualincome, I recommend we all block them and/or report them to Twitter, so that Twitter will investigate and remove the account.
I’m a big hater of spammers on twitter

Inappropriate?We can now also report spammers by sending a Direct Message to Twitter's @spam account.
To do this, you'll first need to follow http://twitter.com/spam. You can then send a direct message to @spam either by:
1. Typing a direct message from the "What are you doing?" box
Ex. d spam @spammy1, @spammy2 are spambots!
2. Sending a direct message from your phone
Ex. d spam @spammy3 is yet another spambot
3. Composing a direct message at http://twitter.com/direct_messages
