Is this a scam? Someone asking collaboration request.

 Some marketting strategists are asking for store permissions. I have received bulk of emails. Are they legit or fraud?

[PaulMartin]

That depends.

If you're looking to hire someone or have someone do some work on your store, then a collaboration request is needed. Be sure to check the permissions they are requesting before accepting it.

If they asked for a collaboration request even though they are not going to do some work inside your store, then raise some red flags. It's likely a scam.

Make sure to read this: Shopify Help Center | Collaborator accounts

Hope it helps!

Oh and, watch out if they are requesting access to these settings:

It's possible they are going to scam you via hijacking the payment side of your store.

Perhaps, you have provided admin email address so that they requested collaborator access to you. Don't share store email address in contact section - you may try different email address.     

Many thanks, I hope this answer helps you.

Hi @LetterCompany 

Yeah to me it looks like a scam. @PaulMartin said all you need to know. 

One of the signs that it is a scam is the use of the word "kindly" 🙂
