Only a heads up, just lately there have been quite a lot of crypto scams rearing their ugly heads claiming to be AllMusic representatives and asking customers to “optimize” songs in change for rewards. They go by the names allmusicwebplayer and allmusicseoalbum. This isn’t legit, and has nothing to do with us.
A useful person writes:
“I obtained approached loads by scammers these days through cell texts that declare to work for AllMusic, they usually all say they provide distant jobs. They find yourself insisting customers to go on WhatsApp and to make an account on a pretend AllMusic web site, the place they then inform the customers that they will they receives a commission by score albums.
Finally it results in a dialog about transferring the pretend earned cash from that web site into cryptocurrency, which I am optimistic results in some technique of phishing customers out of their precise accounts. They’d many AllMusic coaching teams on WhatsApp (which they known as ALL music coaching teams), the place in every group, they permit a single sufferer in.”
One other person writes:
“I’ve been contacted by textual content, somebody saying being a recruiter for AllMusic and providing me a part-time distant place. I get onboarded by means of a WhatsApp group by one other man and educated on their platform. The duties contain submitting songs for optimization and getting a fee every time. It actually only a click on on a button, nothing else.
After finishing a set of 40 duties, you get to withdraw your steadiness. Every part is in crypto. After you deposit once more, a brand new set is open and so forth. You get hooked as a result of the rewards are loopy. The upper the steadiness, the upper the rewards. You then stumble onto a “uncommon” mixture album that brings your steadiness detrimental and have to deposit to finish the duty. After which the cycle continues.
The group may be very effectively organized and it actually seems to be like a official AllMusic factor. There are a number of members on this group, not less than a 100 from what I can see. There are a number of subgroups within the Whatsapp group. I texted one privately and he says he haven’t seen something suspicious thus far. In addition they appear to run the identical rip-off with LiveOne and Beatport.”
We’re working with our authorized crew and the area registrars on getting this taken down, however that may be a sluggish course of. Please notice that we’ve nothing to do with this.
Keep vigilant.
