🚨 Why This Is a Scam: • The email comes from a non-official domain (e.g., Gmail, not @inshot.com) • It makes unrealistic offers ($3K–$8K) without negotiation or a real contact • There’s no contract, NDA, or brand asset link • It’s mass-sent and uses generic greetings like “Dear Content Maker”
⸻
🧠 What You Should Do: • ❌ Don’t click on any links • ❌ Don’t send your YouTube analytics or personal info • ✅ Mark it as phishing or spam in your inbox • ✅ If in doubt, contact the official InShot team through their website or verified social media
