TIPS

Initially, this may appear legitimate with a legitimate appearing Spotify email address indicated as the sender, however, email addresses can be spoofed so you can’t depend on the email address truly indicating if it is legitimate although often less sophisticate scammers send imposter emails using email addresses that are obviously phony. The email does carry the logo of Spotify, but this is easy to counterfeit.  There are a number of red flags that indicate that this is a scam.  I received three versions of this email with none of them indicating my email address or name anywhere in the email. Finally, and most tellingly, Spotify does not have a phone number for customer support so this is obviously a scam.

Once, I received a large invoice from a company with which I do business for goods I did not order, but rather than click on the link provided in the email, I went directly to the company’s website to question the invoice.  When the website came up, the first thing I saw was a large announcement that the invoice was a scam and that many people had received these phony invoices.  If you ever receive a phony invoice such as this and you think that it may possibly be true, don’t click on links or call phone numbers provided in the email.  Instead, you should contact the real company directly at a phone number or website that you know is legitimate where you can confirm that the phishing invoice was a scam.
