They won’t do anything. Only way to get Spotify to care would be to get visa to notice.
Thank you for this @rlauracoulter as well as providing all the relevant details. I’m positive the team would be able to act on it now and I hope we get to see more posts exposing the scam artists on here so we can gradually get them out of the space completely.
Why doesn’t Shopify check these places out before they let them advertise. Don’t they care??
@rlauracoulter Appreciate your information here, and this is dully noted on my end.
We do need to be quite careful when ordering and cooperating online recently!
