Skunk Radio Live Reviews 8

They're sending emails I never asked for, straight garbage emails. Not even cold sale emails. They're legit sending out garbage spam.

They should probably change their name to "Scumbag Radio Live". They're sending unsolicited emails. Reported and blocked at the mail server level, so I hope I never hear from them again, except for the BBC's news that this pseudo-company has been shut down for good.

I recently received an unsolicited email from “Skunk Radio Live / SRL Networks London Limited” claiming to audition new artists and inviting me to submit my music through a link.

The message looked like a generic A&R outreach, but after research and cross-verifying multiple reports, there are several serious red flags that make this look highly suspicious.

📩 Email Content Issues
The email offered artist auditions and directed me to a submission site with no verifiable artist roster, contracts, or transparent terms. Legitimate A&R contact should include clear business information, this did not.

🌐 Domain & Website Reputation
The submission site backstage.skunkradiolive.com has a long-registered domain (since 2012) and a valid HTTPS certificate, which superficially looks legitimate. Some automated scanners give it a moderate trust score, but that doesn’t prove the service is trustworthy or that the business delivers on its claims. Scamadviser notes the domain is decades old, but this is not proof of legitimacy; scammers often use aged domains to appear credible.

📉 User & Community Reports
Online reviews here for skunkradiolive.com are overwhelmingly negative, with every review at 1 star, describing unsolicited “scam mail” and poor or deceptive practices.

📞 Phone Number Analysis
The email listed a UK number:020 3286 0210. While some profiles show this number is used by alleged music services, community feedback and other 020 numbers in that range frequently appear in scam and spam reports — users commonly flag similar numbers for fraud or suspicious contact. Numbers similar to this range (e.g., 020 3286 5287) are repeatedly reported for spam or fraud activity on community lookup sites as i have verified them.

👥 Community & Forum Evidence
Multiple artists on forums like Reddit and independent music boards report similar emails, pointing out:
Generic, non-personalized messages
Audition “opportunities” that eventually lead to paid fees
Claims of promotion that never materialize
Many users describe exactly the same pattern: email → pressure to pay → no real service delivered.

⚠️ Pay-To-Play Pattern
Some artists report that after initial contact, these services push to pay a fee to unlock supposed promotional opportunities — a classic “pay-to-play” tactic, which is widely considered exploitative and predatory in the music industry.

Summary:
While the domain appears technically older and encrypted, real user reports, independent reviews, and community experiences strongly suggest this is a potentially exploitative or scammy service rather than a genuine A&R or reputable platform. I did not engage, and I recommend extreme caution especially if asked for payment.

Got an email from them, sketchy and looks like scam. I did not go further

They have contacted me saying the heard my music on tik tok but after ready the comments it looks like a Scam. So im out.

Very sketchy indeed.
They sent me an e-mail Saying they were lsitening listening to some of my music and like what they were hearing, adding new artists to their roster, etc. They basically told me that auditioning was free, Yet It was really paying up to 52AUD(25 pounds) to reach over 100k of listeners. They make themselve look like they are a record company or A&R Agent. But they really just want your money. I went and did my reasearch. Found the only review on trustpilot. Then I looked on reddit and it was confirmed that it is a legit scam. I did not go through with it, and I am glad I didn't invest my money. I have a copy of all the e-mails sent. Could of had me fooled.

Scam by now. 20 mails to just do nothing, but my 5 pounds have been taken for neither services or network diffusion.
