New ‘Razer Sponsorship’ E-Mail Scam Circulating

If you’ve received an e-mail recently from someone promising lucarative Razer sponsorship deals, hold on a second. Word has been going around that a number of content creators and streamers have been receiving these e-mails and they’re not all they seem. In fact, they’re a scam.

 

Razer does have a sponsorship program in place, but they don’t e-mail people to get them to join. They instead encourage people to sign up over on their streamer support page on the official Razer website. This e-mail will do nothing but install malware onto your machine if you click any link within it.

 

The e-mail claims that you have been “discovered” by a streamer scout, and thinks that your streamer or content creation skills are worth the sponsorship. The scout has also recommended to Razer that you be offered a contract as ‘a model of our marketing business with Twitch streamers and broadcasters.’ The e-mail apparently comes from a Daniel Werth at Razerzone Ltd. and is sent from an e-mail that is razorzonesponsorship@gmail.com – and there’s where you should pause and think. Razerzone Ltd. sounds like it might be affiliated with Razer, but not hearing any mention of it should at least make you boot up a search engine to do a check to see if this offer is legitimate or not. The second clue, although harder to spot in a quick skim, is that the e-mail is mispelt – Razor rather than Razer.

 

The e-mail has been turning up in the inboxes of people from the UK, US and Japan among others, so if you got one – ignore it. Your computer will thank you.
