This morning, this writer received a DM (Direct Message) purportedly from a well-known telecommunications organisation in Australia (whom I do indeed follow):
i found y0u http: // videos . twitter . shjjiwe . com / ?cw0c0s2uq
Spaces have been inserted to deliberately 'break' the URL.
Clearly this is bogus - it is an obvious phishing attempt, but it could easily be tidied up to look a lot better, perhaps by the use of a URL shortening service.
In a recent tweet, Twitter themselves advise "We've seen a few phishing attempts today; if you've received a strange DM and it takes you to a Twitter login page, don't do it!"
It is strongly suggested that such links never be followed. It is also suggested that Twitter users access the service via a client program that converts shortened URLs to their full link before allowing the user to access them – TweetDeck is such a package, there are plenty of others.
Stay safe, be alert.
