🚫 Warning to Producers and Music Creators: Avoid Scam! 🚫

As an experienced Ableton Live producer and ghost producer in the EDM scene, I want to share a cautionary message for fellow creatives.

I came across an appealing Facebook ad offering new Ableton Templates from a merchant called "Ableton Template." Out of curiosity, I downloaded their so-called free products first, expecting a genuine trial. However, I was not impressed by the quality and decided against buying any paid items.

To my surprise, I was charged $19.99 USD for a “subscription” I never activated or agreed to. The download only provided a PDF with fine print claiming that some free products are "convertible," meaning a one-time free download automatically turns into a recurring subscription. This subscription term was not clearly disclosed during the download – it was deeply hidden and only hinted at by the word "monthly" under the product quantity, misleading at best.

Despite my usual diligence reading all purchase details carefully, this crucial information was so concealed I missed it. If I had known, I certainly would never have downloaded a supposed “free” product from this source.

I have emailed the merchant about this misleading practice, but I expect no integrity or resolution from such a shady operation. This situation is a disgrace to honest creators and the community at large. I normally support emerging brands and real artists wholeheartedly, but sites like these exploit and scam their own creative community.

Please be wary and protect your hard-earned money from this scam. Sharing this to save others and stand up for the hardworking creative community we all belong to.

Stay safe and support genuine creators!

Thank you.
