I Do Not Use Twitter, Or Even Have A Twitter Account. But I Have A Problem.

I do NOT use Twitter, or even have a Twitter account.  But a few days ago I received an Email on YAHOO telling me that my Twitter account had been compromised, and that my access was being suspended.  Because I was not following the Twitter rules and regulations.  HUH ????  What is this all about ??   I can't even reach anyone at Twitter to discuss this matter, because I DO NOT have an account with them.  So they have no desire to talk with me. Just strengthens my already TERRIBLE opinion of the Social Media Networks.   It appears that their Support folks will only help if I am willing to pay them a "FEE".   Are you kidding me ????  Pam Rechul

It's possible the Email was fake and from someone trying to obtain your personal information by scaring you into thinking your account had been compromised. If this is the case, then they probably didn't bother to check if you actually had an account, they are just massively emailing people to trick them. I'd delete it if that is the case, and ignore. I doubt it was officially from twitter unless someone has access to your personal email account and set up a twitter account using it. In which case, I'd change my passwords and be extra careful.
