Most scams share the same tells. They ask you to pay shipping or a fee, they will not sign a contract, they rush you or the email domain does not match the brand. Real brands pay you, put terms in writing and never ask for money first. When in doubt, slow down and verify the company.
The red flags
Scammers rely on excitement and speed. Slow down and check.
Pay-to-play asks
You should never pay to get a brand deal. Money flows to you.
No contract
No terms in writing is the biggest tell. Walk away.
Verify the sender
Check the email domain matches the real brand site.
