1. Go to your settings > to the application settings > revoke access to any suspicious app that you don't remember using (stuff like Youtube, Tumblr, etc... should be fine, it's the more independent apps such as Mafia Wars that they use to hack your account and send this spam)
2. After you do point 1, change your password. That way any app that had your password before when they sent that shouldn't be able to do so anymore.
3.If 1 and 2 don't stop it, check you DMs everyday to see if there's any spam. If there is just delete it and continue.
4. If all else fails contact Twitter about the problem.
