Twitter followers

I signed up to Twitter a few months ago, basically to see what was going on after an incident in a city where I have relatives. I now have 5 followers, 2 of them are people I know so fair enough, but the other three have profiles of attractive young ladies who tweet facebook pseudo-inspirational nonsense like "Never trust anyone who says they truly know you". Obviously this is a scam of some sort, I don't believe there is a real person behind these accounts, but what is the scam here? I can't work it out.

Are they expecting me to contact them and eventually send cash over to Ukraine or somewhere so they can come and visit me?

Just spam accounts. Could be for any reason, just block and report and move on.

Yeah but they aren't spamming me because I'm not following them - I don't see any options to block them either. I'm just curious why these accounts exist, I'm afraid that twitter is all a bit beyond me.

Edit: nm - found how to get rid of them lol
