Title: SCAM ALERT: Nord VPN Brand Ambassadorship Inquiry
Post by: kat on April 22, 2023, 02:20:03 PM
Similar to the previous Nike brand/sponsorship scam (https://www.katsbits.com/smforum/index.php/topic,1215.0.html), another one addressed to YouTube creators, claims to be from Nord VPN Technology brand ambassador program. Sender is a throwaway GMX (German) account/address with no other Corporate or individual identifiers. Needless to say if the message doesn't come from the nordvpn.com domain it's a scam.
