“We cannot process your payment. Please take a moment to review your payment details,” followed by a link. This is the content of the text message that supposedly comes from Spotify. Our cooperation partner Watchlist Internet warns about these SMS.

What happens when I click on the link?
You land on a fake login page that looks very similar to the real one. However, the recreated page was programmed so that the criminals can see what you type. The so-called phishing page steals your login data.
Entered data? This is what you can do:
- Change your Spotify password.
- Can't access your account anymore? instructions on what to do on the Spotify help page .
- Did you enter payment details on the fraudulent login page? Then you should contact your bank or credit card company. Your card may need to be blocked.
- Also beware of scam calls. Criminals often contact you after a while and try to steal money or data using another scam.
- File a police report.
How to recognize a fraudulent message
- There is a link that you should definitely click on.
- Check whether the claim is true by logging or using the service as usual If the notification doesn't appear there, it's fake.
- The internet address appears to be genuine at first glance. If you look closely, you will notice that the real login page is “accounts.spotify.com/de/login?[…] and not spotfy.gp/login.
