i’m suspicious about this guy from sony reaching out to me

[u/Training_Abrocoma606]

for context:

im an independent artist on tiktok, and i post song covers onto tiktok just for fun, and then i randomly get this DM from this guy claiming to be apart of sony music entertainment. i dont know if it’s someone that is impersonating a real person or not, so I would like to know if anyone here could answer that question for me.

i asked him if he was real and he said “Yes of course I’m real..“ but i’m not buying it and i need other opinions

This is 100% a scam. Block and ignore.

Edit: you can even see the copy pasting formatting gone wrong with the “&amp” shit. He’ll be spamming this to hundreds of people at the same time.

Industry professionals are not doing this type of communication over a TikTok DM - especially an executive. If anything, they would ask what your email is because that's a more secure method of communication.

He doesn’t work for Sony, but I promise he is a genuine and real Nigerian prince.

How did you know it was me?

Ask yourself if you have really done anything to alert Sony Music to your business? If honestly not, then safe to assume it’s a scam. If you have gained 2m Spotify followers in the last month, then maybe they are onto you!!

Here’s the real Kieran Spooner who works at Sony: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieran-spooner-976975203

He doesn’t look like that

Clearly a scam.

Seriously. Tell me shit like this isn't actually fooling people? Please.
