Is a sponsorship email from SteelSeries legit?
SteelSeries 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 SteelSeries 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 SteelSeries deals work
SteelSeries outreach uses steelseries.com.
Hardware brands combine product seeding with paid placements. Real deals ship review units with no charges to you, and paid campaigns have written deliverables. Anyone asking for a deposit against a review unit is scamming.
