Experts urge caution with Websites promising major money for Twitter users.
They say tweeting for cash is the latest in a string of sophisticated scams.
With an estimated 10 million members and counting, Twitter is among the fastest growing social networks in the world.
"I've been on Twitter about a year and what i like is the immediacy of the communication," said Chicago-area resident Andrew Zielinski.
Zielinski tweets from his coffee shop and plans to encourage his customers to do the same.
But he's been tempted by ads with lures of turning tweets into cash.
Just jump online and you'll see dozens of Websites promising twitter users quick dough if they just post links on their accounts.
The Better Business Bureau reports it has seen a spike in the number of people victimized by these get rich quick scams.
One Website designed to look like a newspaper front page features a person with a rags to riches story: college dropout now making $10,000 a month working from home.
All you have to do is order a twitter cash starter kit for $1.95, but that's how they get your credit card info and then later charge you a monthly fee of $47.
By signing up for the program you get to create your own fake newspaper site to recruit others. For each new victim, you get $47 bucks. Analysts say it's a pyramid scheme.
"The people who are the most vulnerable are the people who need jobs and lots of people are looking for how can i make money," said attorney John Hinkle. "First thing you should ask yourself is how someone could make $10,000 a month from home."
"Usually, it is impossible. It can not be done unless it is a scam," he added.
It's a scam that's hard to fight, because these sites that promise fast cash for little work can disappear in just a few days or weeks.
