Needs checking: real brands rarely do it, scammers imitate it
brand-partners.com, brand-official.com: lookalike domains
A domain name that glues "partners", "collab", "official" or "team" to a brand's name imitates its website. It is a signature of fake offer campaigns.
What it looks like
anna@nordsecure-partnership.com, "our creator space: nordsecure-creators-portal.com"
Why it is a sign
Scammers register domains that look like those of the brands they impersonate: the name, a hyphen, a reassuring word. Google's security team counted more than a thousand in a single campaign.
What a real brand does
A brand writes from its main domain, the one of its website. Its partnerships go through the same address, or through an agency that has its own name.
What to do
Type the brand's real website and compare. An unknown domain, created recently, with a word like "partners" glued to the name: do not answer without the brand's confirmation.
