Brand verification
Is a sponsorship email from CJ Affiliate legit?
CJ Affiliate does sponsor creators, which is exactly why scammers wear its name. Here is how the real thing looks, and how to tell the difference in one minute.
The real domains
Real CJ Affiliate outreach comes from these registered domains (or their subdomains):
A different ending (like .co instead of .com), extra words (like -collab or -media), or a free mail address are the three most common impersonation moves.
How real CJ Affiliate deals work
CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction) sends publisher program emails from cj.com.
This is a real influencer marketing agency: it brokers deals for many brands. Real agency outreach names the brand, the deliverable, and the budget, and the agency itself is verifiable: a real site, real employees on LinkedIn, and campaigns other creators can vouch for.
