My Question or Issue

I want to report that the artist named: 'massage music' has inside that name lots and lots of album with the year of date release set at 2020. It is still 2019 and they fake the year of release. This is all, hope Spotify takes action about this fraud. Greetings.

Hello @yd57ihvwp94j7m8,

Hope it goes well. Let us know if you have further questions.

I wish to report this user: https://open.spotify.com/user/emyavkn4tb4y5tekhaius58an?si=NlrsOowQSzCmuGraum6J5Q

Escape Ark is "run" by Carl Hitchborn, who sells campaigns promising legit premium user streams. It's a total scam. Not sure if the streams he generates are legit or not, but the point is he doesn't deliver even close to what the campaign says. I have been promised a refund but he's ghosting me and has removed me from the playlists and the facebook group. I have reported the fraud to the bank and my card issuer as well. I am just one out of many who's been **bleep** over by this individual and his sidekick Dan Shaw. I attach the original campaign email.

Hey Patrick, Dan here. Thanks for alerting others. I would like to publicly announce that I am no longer involved with Carl Hitchborn or any of his scams. I apologize for being naive in the situation but I am definitely all for letting others know not to go anywhere near him.
