typo-squatting, which is also known as URL hijacking, is a form of cybersquatting that targets Internet users who accidentally type a website address in their Web browser incorrectly. When users make a typographical error when entering the website address, they can be led to an alternative website owned by a cybersquatter. This can lead to the usurpation of financial or social media identity. Phishing is the fraudulent criminal process of trying to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card numbers by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. 
Scammers recently created an imitation Twitter.com website and sent emails phishing for millions of users, many click on the link in the email, which sends them to the phishing site, where they enter their usernames and passwords to log in.
The site is Tvviter.com, spelled with two V instead of a W. This site is currently live. Assuming your browser is up to date, it should alert you to the fact that Tvviter.com is a suspected phishing site. Tweet.ro is another phishing site, my updated browser does not warned me about. Note that neither Web address is a hyperlink here. I would not play around these sites. At any time, designers can easily introduce malware on these sites, then your outdated operating system or browser as a "drive by" hack, which ultimately leads us back to identity theft and fraud.
Forward this blog to your contacts. Let people know, so they will not be fooled. This scam can stick if the site is not taken by the time this warning is read. Do not become addicted. And protect yourself with an Internet security software and identity theft protection.
