What's the deal with free twitter followers?

Steven Benjamin on Twitter, Followers, Free

I've received a number of these phantom follower requests, or been followed by people with "thousands" of followers but with only 2 or 3 tweets - whats the deal with this? Something about it just seems wrong, and who are these mystery followers?
I doth protest- this feels like a scam...

If its too good to be true, it probably is.

they tend to be the ones after followers to look big, so they tend to follow you in hopes that you follow back and if you don't within a couple days of weeks they tend to unfollow you 8S

at times I'm not sure if its a person or a bot doing it as if it was me... GOD would I be bored doing that >.

My sentiments exactly. I seem to think it is robots... and who would follow someone who's only got 2 tweets in as many months - both advertising "free twitter followers". The way I know that something ain't right, is because with every new follower I usually get an email notification. But I don't get any email for these 'phantom followers'...
