In another spam scam, Deezer, Europe’s leading “music on demand” site (equivalent of LastFM), has been attacked. They quickly reacted by sending out this mail (in French as it is a French based company), alerting its users that the offer of a free mp3 player was a hoax. If nothing else, this post is a good way to broadcast Deezer’s existence (for the US base). They have over 2.5 million songs in their music repertoire and some 5.5 million unique visitors per month. Anyway, Deezer’s experience with the spam is yet another point in case of the malevolence out there.
I love Deezer and listen to playlists a lot. I think it’s a fabulous idea !
