anyone heard of :spotifypremiumcode.co.uk

I'm very skeptical of this site, tried a whois search and they have hidden their name from it and it was only registered last month! If anyone can help? Thanks :beer:

  • Just by looking at the domain name makes you suspicious of it. My suggestion is: stay away from it.

    Stupidly took up 'lifetime' membership.

    Good, fast communication - 'till now.
    Received an username and password, but it was obviously someone else's account.
    Complained and was sent details of a second account - again obviously someone else's account.

    For both accounts I could see the original user's name, date of birth, email, last four digits of their card, list of payments made and could change from monthly to yearly subs.

    Both ccounts worked - untill the real owner used it - then mine stopped.

    This happened over the last few days - so will keep you posted on either a 'proper' clean account or attemps for a refund - best tip - avoid.

    Update.
    Good communication when I raised the issue of getting access to someone else's account - was given a new usernme and password with access to Spotify Premium.

    Unfortunately this new account was also someone else's account - someone from the US, by going to the account details I could again see this account owner's name, address, DOB, birthday, facebook friends, last four credit card digits and a full statment of his Spotify payments.

    When I complained again and asked for a refund the previous communication stopped, there has to date been no reply and no refund.

    Unless I was unlucky, what they do is give access to other users' live accounts. A search of the domain owner matches the Paypal account paid I into - a search of this name brings up a past of various internet based companies and a home address.

    Avoid.

    Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.
