There are a lot of scammers in this industry, so it’s important to stay alert! Remember, no legitimate brand collaboration should ever require you to purchase a product as a creator.

You get a lot of emails like this from when you put your email in your bio. The companies are fake and try to act like they’re offering creators an opportunity then ghost once the creator actually pays for the item.

Glad you didn’t follow through.

ELI5, you tried to score a free toothbrush and failed so you are calling them scammers despite them giving you 50% of and free shipping. They would even compensate you once you created content as I'm sure they get many freeloaders.
