Hi everyone! A bit of an odd one for someone who didn't know that a Canon community page exsisted on their page and being a first time chatter here!
But I have a question, I am a content creator with mobile photography and Canon (I have the R8)
So today to my surprise CanonUSA the official twitter reached out to me about a potentiol collaberation,
nothing very weird, but I have seen this Reddit post, and it's basically the same for me.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/1gbgsox/warning_twitter_canon_scam_and_docusign_scam/
Do any of you have any clue about how legit this is? Or a way to find out if Canon US is hacked on twitter?
Sorry for this random message, but in this case I rather be safe then sorry.

if you need any screenshots or more information let me know, because while I would love to work with Canon on a video, I am very carefull, but it's the official canonUS page, so makes it hard to know if it is legitimate or not.

I shall not. Thank you! They want a call tomorrow basically and for that I have to sign an NDA, so I just want to be safe.

Ok I am not alone, and it seems like it really is and some people have fallen for this... Canon you need to be on top of this because this is a scam! And a REAL problem that they are doing it via your official twitter!
