Don't worry, they just get random information of you, like where you live, and then assume stuff they can't find out. If you don't have a Visa credit card, you're obviously safe.

That, or someone with the email jakob.95 probably ordered spotify, and they sent it to the wrong email by accident. Don't worry, it happens.

They messed up the email address in which Spotify was supposed to send the POP to. Two options are available. Do nothing, or access the account. Which it turns out Spotify is a Music Downloading site. Your choice.

I just went to there website. And pressed I forgot my account password. They told me to enter my email address. I entered my email address and then got into the account by setting a new password in there. I pressed on account information and there was a Visa card number. Which only told me the last 4 digits of the Visa card number. I am not sure if that Visa card could be my dads or something that they hacked into.

Spotify is neither a site (except they have a site hosting the program) nor does it download music.

Not really sure how you could not have heard about it before but it is a program for streaming music. Having a premium account means that you get increased bitrate and don't have to listen to any commercials.

The guy signing up for his account messed up when entering his email and the account is now yours, there's really nothing more to it.

[email protected] = [email protected]

i think this only happens in gmail but the .'s usually get 'ignored' and they send it even without them. its a trick i used to use on ptc sites and stuff.

It is indeed, although usually the currency name SEK is used.

It could also be from Norwegian money too. KR=Kroner

Jakob is also a fairly used name in Norway.

But this is so weird... Why would anyone have the same kind of email address as me, jakob95. And his birthday is almost the same as mine.

Also the account holder is from Sweden.

The email is extremely generic and the birthday being close is a coincidence (it's not even the same in the first place).

This is not weird at all.

Gratz. You got Spotify premium for free. Once you install it, you can look up their song lists and build a playlist and have it stream the songs on your playlist for you to listen to. It's like a "smart" webradio. It can also be used on smartphones.

Enjoy.

No he can't, it is region blocked unless he happens to use a proxy that is located in the EU.
Spotify is not limited to EU countries (see Norway).

But yeah, if the region block isn't only for the payment itself you would need a proxy in one of the countries where Spotify is available to use it.

Well, the reason for the 95 is that you were born in 1995, right? And so was he. The two facts you mentioned are very much related to each other, and not seperate coincidences as you seem to assume.

And btw, Spotify does let you download music too, as well as stream, you pay per track like with iTunes, Amazon MP3 etc.

Anyhow, I would recommend trying to contact the real owner of the account, seeing as you have now apparently changed his password so he will not be able to access his Spotify account. Send him an email to [email protected], see if you can get things straightened out.

SifJar said it best. Get in touch with the poor Swedish guy.
Although I can understand why people would think Spotify is just another download service. Too bad it's not out in the US, yet.

I just did that and I received my own message that I sent.

Hmm, that's not so good. Try contacting Spotify themselves perhaps, and see if they can straighten things out. I doubt it, but its possible they have some alternative method of contact for the real owner of the account.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore

    it's too late
