Spotify artist names and cover art can appear on more than one page. Start with the artist’s published profile link before trusting a release, playlist or merch offer.

Compare the artist and playlist links

  1. Follow the Spotify link from the artist’s website or established social account and record the artist URL and ID.
  2. Compare releases with the artist’s known discography and announcements.
  3. Check management, label and social links against the artist’s existing contacts.
  4. Inspect playlist descriptions and linked sites for unrelated payment pages or claims of official representation.
  5. For artist teams, publish one current profile link and a clear contact for fans to send suspicious links.

What to include in a report

  • Artist and playlist URLs with the time checked.
  • Screenshots of copied artwork, bios or misleading label claims.
  • Scam links or payment messages alongside the artist’s official reference.

Build an impersonation report with the relevant URLs and screenshots.
