It can't happen. You've been spammed and scammed.

Maybe, nothing of any import had happened so I can't understand why.

You cannot have a Twitter (or Facebook) account if you haven't opened it
yourself, in the same way that you cannot discover you suddenly have an
account at Lloyds bank if you know you haven't ;-)

You have a lot more faith than I. Looking at the situation the account
may
have been opened automatically when I commented on a new article on Yahoo
but you have to tick a box for that to happen and I certainly have not,
I'm
quite careful about such things.
Like my Facebook page I've closed it now anyway.

If you checked that your Facebook paged was closed within 14 days of
closing it, it is still open.

I'd already heard about that so didn't check for a month. Twitter takes ages
to cancel too.
