Hi everyone, @Indie artists
To keep our community a safe, clean, and fun place for real musicians, DJs, and music lovers, we want to share a quick security update regarding a new type of spam wave going around.
Recently, we’ve noticed a rise in automated bot accounts registering on music platforms and forums. These profiles often look real at first glance, but they are completely automated.
How to spot them (The Red Flags):
AI-Generated Bios & Photos: They often claim to be “professional producers, singers, or songwriters” with 7+ years of experience, using generic or overly dramatic descriptions.
“Too Good To Be True” AI Music: If you check their SoundCloud links, their profile is usually packed with random AI-generated music. The vocals often sound “too perfect” or clinical, with no real social media footprint (like videos of them actually performing or working in a studio).
Instant DM Spam: The moment you welcome them or send a message, their script automatically triggers a generic reply, usually followed by a link: “Thank you so much. I’m thrilled to be here. I have a SoundCloud account. Here you go.”
Our Community Rules to Stay Safe:
Don’t click suspicious links: If a new member immediately slides into your DMs dropping links without a normal, human conversation, do not click them.
Never pay for “Promo” scams: These bots often try to lure independent artists into paying for playlist placements or “organic growth.” It’s a scam that can get your own SoundCloud account banned for fake plays.
Report them: If you receive a strange, robotic DM or notice a profile that feels “off,” please report it or tag the @Chatsongcrew immediately.
We love welcoming new talent to the Chatsong family, and this measure is strictly to protect our real creators from digital noise and scams.
Thank you for helping us keep the crew safe! 🎧
Best,
The Chatsong Crew
