Scam
A scam is happening where bots send fake streams to random artists on Spotify. After that, Spotify bans or penalizes those artists. This is not okay.
Is there any way to take legal action against those responsible? If so, I’m willing to do it — because we ended up having to pay Spotify because of this scam.
We never used any kind of promotion services for Spotify. These scammers randomly sent fake streams to five of our old songs just to promote their own service.
We reported this to our distributor and to Spotify, but we didn’t receive any help.
These same three websites have done this over and over again.
I forgot to mention this earlier — there are three websites involved. They all have the same interface and the same scam. It looks like one company or person is running all three of them. I’ll list the websites here. They generate fake streams to our songs using a playlist, and then they delete the playlist afterward — possibly to hide evidence or avoid detection.
We contacted all three websites, but the email addresses listed on them are not working. Kindly report this scam site to the appropriate authorities.
