    Block/Report as spammy accounts - that is all you can do. But when you gain more followers, you won't care about these "fat sexbots", because I am sure that you have a better use of time than blocking fake followers.

    your going to get those every now and again, no way to stop anyone from following you, just report them as spam and remember you don't have to follow them back.... if you want more followers, consider getting one of those software programs such as birdy adder that will automatically follow people. It allows you to follow the the people who follow others...

    Yes, I had to block fake followers once but like Imposter said... once you get enough real followers those fake ones won't matter.

    Hello. A had the same problems. I have realized that I had many fake followers in twitter. What could you advise to do in this case? I don’t want to have them. Is there any advice from you?

    One way to gain real followers is to start following real people. Many will follow you back.

    Also, tweet consistently and often. That will gain you real followers.
