My Issue

Verified Spotify Artist Bought fake streams, fake social media followers and is using them to look legitimate to scam upcoming artists for a feature or to scam upcoming producers to use their beats for push payment of 200-300£ by sending screenshots of his Spotify Account to look legitimate and people are falling for it.

My Proof is that:

Monthly listeners to total plays - If they have 2.5m plays on their top song, and 80k monthly listeners, they recently bought all of those plays. Because if they really had that kind of listener base MONTHLY, their total plays would be way higher.

Note:  He scammed a lot of people before, hopefully he won't be able to anymore.
