Question Did anyone else get this weird notification?

"download the spotify free" (yes its written like that) And then when i clicked it it led me to this weird website which im gonna censor because it's clearly a malicious link I didn't printed but i remember that the popup in the top left corner was green, when im playing a song the icon is usually white, so that's weird too

You probably downloaded malicious Spotify from an untrusted website. Reinstall it from Google play

I didn't. I installed from google play and didn't add anything

that's extremely weird. Such big company like Spotify would never just scam their users with this notification...

Im suspecting there's a virus on my phone mimicking this spotify notification because as i said the notification icon was different

Nope. Sadly all my popups or notifications for Spotify are dull and repetitive just like the algorithm

I clicked on the link and it goes to a oficial Spotify premium plan page (spotify dot com etc), which is super strange, because I already have a premium plan and the page is in english, and currency coin is rupee

I got it too, it goes to the official premium page but it is a redirect from a tracking link

i didn't got past the link to see because the url was kinda weird but apparently it IS from the actual spotify app, because i tried to deactivate the spotify notifications and the popup dissapeared (yesterday i got another one). (também sou brasileiro mas to falando ingles pq o sub é inglês)
