> I also contacted Spotify and they are absolutely sure that it's not possible to create accounts without confirming e-mails and can't do anything about it. Yeah that's not true. We discovered someone was using my son's email address for their Spotify when he tried to register for an account. There are plenty of other accounts of this happening: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Accounts/Why-Does-Spotify-NOT-verify-new-account-email-addresses-I-DID/td-p/422194 https://community.spotify.com/t5/Accounts/Why-Does-Spotify-N... It might be fixed now, but what you're saying was definitely true for a good few years.

Notice How I keep receiving Spotify promotions for the fake accounts created on my domain. Does this look like Spotify did something about it? Whatever, I'm not going through all this BS again. Spotify has it's own "Spam box" because it is possible or was possible to create Spotify accounts without verification and a subset of it is created on my domain and I'm not going through the process of fixing up the Spotify's fake account problem. Someone created these, I tried to inform Spotify about it and if they are find with paying for the streams these accounts (probably) generate, it's all fine by me.

  Yeah, ours was to an email account I'd registered for my son but wasn't checking regularly. Once we found out someone else had used it for Spotify I found loads of marketing spam from them in the inbox. I think it is fixed for new accounts but they obviously haven't bothered to go back and verify everyone who registered before that change.
