This just got more interesting. This seems to be a third party company of some sort.

Interesting. Even if it is “legit” — as in it really is some third party company offering some sort of real service — unless they have permission from @Spotify, they can’t be going around using Spotify’s trademark in their domain and business names.

  Hmm interesting. Can confirm agencies use emails that don’t have client’s domain .com but not sure what’s going on here

  Indeed. It passes a lot of the typical flags: - No grammar issues - No links - No PII or login info provided - No attachments It's just poorly verified, which means most creators easily accept and dive into this without being skeptical 😬

  This is both a very confusing scam, and also a very confusing promotion if legit

  I guess I'll find out when I hop on a zoom call with them next week, lol. It seems like they're going to set me up with a Spotify account rather than using my existing spotify account. We'll see if that's indeed the case.

  Yeah exactly. That was some expert level social engineering right there.

  Yeah definitely could be that. Really you’d need to get someone from @SpotifyCares to confirm this is actually the PR agency they use. I’m pretty sure @snubs and I mentioned this in our video actually 😄

  Hey, @booredatwork I see you are connected with Megan at 2 Degrees Ventures. Is this Spotify thing legit?

  I imagine it's an issue with hiring third party marketing agencies for things. Most large companies do that. @markguim what do you think of this? Maybe a classic case of one hand not talking to the other? The fact that I have mutual connections with ppl that work there...
