I know there is a separate thread discussing about Sponsorship emails. But, I want to share my story with sponsorship emails.
I got many sponsorship emails last year. I was not interested in any of them. Because most of them looked like SCAM. But, I thought to give it a TRY. Just communicated with few of them. Then on 6th June 2022, my YouTube channel was hacked. YouTube terminated my account for posting against Community Guidelines. I was literally shocked, and I couldnt sleep whole night. Then I filled up a form to review the reason for the ban. I sent screenshots of SPONSORSHIP EMAILS. Then YouTube confirmed me that my account was hijacked. They recovered my account in 2 days. My logo was changed, My channel name was changed to ArkStudio. After my channel was hacked, the hacker uploaded cryptocurrency videos on my channel (Elon Musk pics on thumbnails and channel Art) which lead to termination of the account. I was so shocked. Then I changed the password and recovered everything. After that I never communicated with any sponsorship emails.
However, today I got sponsorship email from Movavi. Then I checked their YouTube channel and website. They look very Legit. But I'm afraid to be screwed once again. Any advice would be appreciated.

i used movavi to edit my videos before, i think they are legit?
I contacted movavi official website. I sent them screenshot of sponsorship email. They confirmed me that this email is a scam. Nobody from official movavi staff contacted me for sponsorship. So, I ignored the sponsorship email and didn't click any links. I am Safe.

Here is a B.S. sponsorship email I just got. I have no interest in crypto and even if I did, my having a 2K subscriber channel is not of sufficient size to have a credible sponsorship offer.
