“You’ll get locked out for being under 13 years old,' Twitter Support warned after users fell victim to the prank.
Twitter has warned that a birthday prank currently in circulation on the social network will actually lock users out of their personal accounts.

Another urged: “Don't forget to change your twitter birthday to 2007 it changes colour!” It appears some users have already been duped. “You’ll get locked out for being under 13 years old. If your account was locked after changing your Twitter birthday to 2007, please follow the instructions that were sent after the change was made to your account,” it added. Users will have to submit a form to reclaim their account.According to a screenshot posted online earlier this week, Twitter sent one prank victim the automated message: “In order to create a Twitter account you must be at least 13 years old.
