Hey guys, getting some annoying, verging on harassing spam emails on SoundCloud, offering fake 'reviews' for blogs you've never heard of. Don't fall into this trap, they pray on musicians insecurities. Yeah I replied to the messages but only for my own amusement. They seem to have tons of fake accounts on Soundcloud, each ending with 'Amplify' for example 'Tania Amplify' 'Luciana Amplify' all with the same profile pic.
Hopefully SoundCloud sees this garbage and stops them from spamming. I'll post the messages below...
Happy music making,
Martin UP soundcloud.com/officialup

Hey guys!
Hope you're good?
I came across your soundcloud page and thought that you might be interested in the company I work for - Amplify Reviews?
We're a professional music reviews company and we offer an alternative approach to the independent media and digital press:
You probably agree by now that in this day and age, putting your music material out on its own is not enough to have any impact on your audience… So why do you stop there?
Artists also need other smart online content such as press kits and the support of music blogs so they can stand out from the crowd, right? If there isn’t enough press articles about you and your music online, then sadly your chances of being booked for shows, being played on the radio or even sign to a record label are significantly reduced…
So this is where we come in - Our platform offers professional blog reviews for selected music artists and in order to achieve this we listen to music all day - contacting only those we feel are promising enough or have the potential to make it in their genres. By doing this, we make sure that don’t compromise the quality of the content that we publish on our associate music blogs.
This is a service that so many artists have asked for, I hope you can see the advantages. Don’t miss out on this opportunity - visit us now to expand your online portfolio!
We can review any Singles, EP's, Albums, Mixtapes or Remixes released by you - All genres welcomed * Your reviews will be published in high quality exclusive music blogs
Our review packages include professional articles with your cover artwork and links to your music; starting at just $29 (worth every penny) published in these exclusive music blogs ——> www.dopeapproach.com * www.blatantmisrep.com * www.audiosteez.com and more!

No
Luciana Amplify: If you say no, you’re saying no to you…. not me! You’re saying no to your music, you’re saying no to your dreams, you’re saying no to your hard work… not to me. So what is it that you’re going to do about it? Are you gonna STEP UP and do what it takes to GET to where you want to be? What other things do you do to get your music out there apart from uploading them online? How do people find out about you? Stop beating around the bush and start being aggressive! Look if you’re going to succeed you gotta pay the price. But if you want to fail, you will pay the price. So I ask you again, what are you going to do about it, take action or make excuses? I’m sorry if I sound over the top but I’m just trying to inject some ENERGY and LIFE into you!
Me:
Got loads of energy thanks, just not interested in paying for fake reviews :)
Luciana Amplify Bla Bla Bla... excuses! as I said... you’re saying no to you, not me! Anything else is just excuses...
Luciana Amplify you're making excuses to hold yourself back, you're not a go getter if you think average.
Me:
Seems like you're doing well with 0 followers :)
(at this point I block 'her' then get a message from a different account)
Tania Amplify Do you know how many accounts you're gonna have to block in order to stop me? You might as well quit soundcloud. What kind of man says something and then blocks the person... so you dish out but you can't take it? Yeah right! Try harder choker... Go one each of the music blogs and check all the artists on it... guess what? They all paid. So that's how well we're doing... and many of them are well ahead of you in terms of where they are in their careers too! They're making moves, their busy getting ahead, while you're busy crying and making excuses... So that's how well we're doing!! Look i get it, you're a choker, you choke when it comes to life. Just step up and be a man already, stop pussy footing and get some balls dude. Otherwise you'll get left behind...
Tania Amplify You don't need to block me now that I've said my piece. I won't say anymore... but let that sink in.
