Brand verification
Is a sponsorship email from TunnelBear legit?
TunnelBear 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 TunnelBear 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 TunnelBear deals work
TunnelBear, owned by McAfee, does partner outreach from tunnelbear.com.
VPN brands run some of the largest sponsorship programs on YouTube and their process is standardized: outreach from the brand domain or a known agency, a flat fee per integration plus an affiliate code, a written brief, and net 30 payment on invoice. They never ask creators for money, and they never send software to install from an email.
