A growing number of fraudsters are using social networking service Twitter to pose as high profile footballers.

The AFL Players Association is concerned numerous players are having their identity stolen by fake Twitter accounts.

Among the players to have been targeted are Joel Selwood, Chris Judd and Brendan Fevola.

Symantec security expert Steve Martin says Twitter account fraud is becoming a big problem.
