Spotify platform used as spam/phising platform?

Spotify platform used as spam/phising platform?

Today I used Google to search for an ebook with the title 'Het vervallen huis van de Islam' written by Ruud Koopman.
My prompt in Google was 'epub vervallen huis van de islam'. To my surprise one of the results showed the Spotify logo  with next to it: Spotyu Web Player: Music for everyone
Then a purple link showed up 'epub download He vervallen huis ...'with some info.

 

Clicking on the purple brought me in my browser to: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3gLoA9gjRDdWz5ahcUAtFP
So far so good and I clicked on the next link

 

Then a page showed up which indicates that I could download or read. Clicking on that one restulted in a window 

 

Then all alarm bells went off. I got the following notifications (Dutch):

fbdata-fan.info is gerapporteerd als een misleidende website. U kunt een detectieprobleem rapporteren of het risico negeren en deze onveilige website bezoeken.
