Twitter suspended a 'Sweary Tesco' parody account

The account hurled abuse at Tesco customers.

A TWITTER ACCOUNT that billed itself as a ‘sweary Tesco’ and responded to customers with some decidedly unsavoury language has had its account suspended by Twitter.

The account replied to tweets that mentioned Tesco and hurled abuse at customers.

Everyone except for Tesco, that is.

The supermarket was none too pleased and reported the account. It was subsequently suspended by Twitter.

@shaunbentley Hi Shaun, I'm sorry this is a fake account and it has been reported to The Business Risk Team and Twitter. Thanks - Imran
