Busty squad of fake Rachel Maddow fans promotes her show with identical spam tweets; Update: Accounts suspended, MSNBC tweets statement

A thread at Free Republic suggests that MSNBC host Rachel Maddow “has been using phony twitter accounts to boost her ‘mentions’ on” Twitter. A search yields hundreds of identical tweets like this:

Twitter user @LeftyBollocks shared a screen shot of just some of the tweets from apparent spambots.

The tweets from cleavage-flaunting Maddow “fans” date back to at least Feb. 23. Using the DoesFollow service, Twitchy checked dozens of the accounts to determine whether any actually follow Rachel Maddow on Twitter.

maddow-spambot-doesfollow

The answer?

maddow-spambot-nope

In fact, many of these accounts have few followers and follow no one, and most have tweeted the hashtag #TeamFollowback. That hashtag is often used by spammers to build follower counts so their accounts seem more legitimate.

You’re unique! Just like every other Maddow-lovin’ spammer.

Did Maddow or one of her staffers launch a paid campaign to trend the #Maddow hashtag on Twitter?

Conservative Twitter users have their suspicions.

For now, the flood of #Maddow spam-tweets appears to have ended.
