Once or twice a day I find a spammer that started to follow me. After a few hours Twitter finds them and their account is terminated. You can generally identify these users with a low number of updates, and a 4:1 ratio of following to followers. The people following the spammer are generally the ones with an auto-follow tool enabled (or they really don’t care who they follow).
You can quickly increase your followers on Twitter by following the followers of a spammer. Sounds strange, but it works.
