Hi, 

I'd like to make sure this is a true canon email?

Receiced from infocanonmanagements@gmail.com

(a gmail is very doubtful coming from canon) 

Emails goes like:

Hello

 

 

 

I am Robert Barbera, brand influencer chief marketing officer and editor “CANON” We are launching our influencer/ambassador campaign last quarter, and we sincerely wish you would be a part in the companies history. You captured us with the beautiful content work on your page. We love and admire your style, and it shows beauty, confidence, and power. Your Instagram profile is great! We think our brand customers would love the beautiful and captivating content you have. We discovered your page on Instagram reels #explore, and you have also tagged us on some of your posts, and we became interested in the beauty of your content. During this collaboration, the company would be sending you free monthly packages ( 15 items of your choice every month), with your own exclusive discount code to share, make shout outs and reposts on our Instagram and website! Every month the companies newest brand products will be delivered to you. You are to promote and show off those products in your own style.

 

 

Promoting the products you will tag us on our Instagram, showing the products best either using them or just showing off the package! You will be paid a 25th percentile salary, 5100 USD monthly ( this is for your social media engagements). This is the beginning. Subsequently, you will have bigger deals with “CANON”. The aim for this collaboration is to grow, show love, and put smiles on our customers as the year ends. We believe you to do what you do best. You will be paid via bank transfer, Zelle, cashapp, or PayPal . You would make weekly posts and shout out of our newest brand products in your style. We expect a maximum of ten posts and a minimum of five posts from you in a month.

Greetings,

It's a scam. Canon doesn't use Gmail for any of its email correspondence.

Thanks for joining the conversation, kropotkinwillis!  The previous two replies are correct in that this is not a legitimate email from Canon USA.  Official correspondence from us would come from an email address ending in "canon.com."

Hope this helps!
