I'm being followed by an army of spammy Python accounts on Twitter. What's going on?

Over the last few days a number of suspicious looking accounts have started to follow me on twitter. They all pretend to be some sort of generic Python related account. Yet they all have more or less the same bio and all tweets link to very suspicious websites.

I've blocked and reported all of them, but more and more are coming and I'm seeing legitimate Python accounts following some of them, probably without double checking.

Did anyone else notice this? Does anyone have an idea of what's going on? Should I report this to twitter and if yes how?

Here's a list of the accounts I've seen so far if someone want's to check them out. **Be careful with clicking any of the links in their tweets and bio!**
