I lost about 400 followers. Not a huge deal though, because they were obviously junk anyway.

Accounts should look like real people not as spam then Twitter can never track them.

Selling your account is against the T&C last time I looked at them... although they tend to change regularly enough.
Don't think it's really that much of an issue. If you're running an automated account, it just needs a decent gimmick and a believably hot chick.

my spam accounts are still active and have about 25% less followers than before. They all look real.
