Is a sponsorship email from MacPaw legit?
MacPaw 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 MacPaw 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 MacPaw deals work
MacPaw (CleanMyMac, Setapp) sponsors tech YouTubers from macpaw.com or setapp.com.
Software companies run steady creator programs with briefs, tracked links, and net 30 or net 45 payment. Outreach comes from the company domain. Trial licenses come through the product website, never as an attachment.
