Official Scam Warning: Fake MOUZ x Razer UGC Campaigns

Scammers are contacting UGC creators and offering paid video work while impersonating MOUZ, Razer or supposed representatives of both brands. They use convincing outreach messages, contracts, logos, company details and fake confirmation emails to gain trust. Their actual goal is to persuade creators to buy gift cards or promotional codes and disclose the redeemable codes.

If you received such an offer, do not buy anything, do not disclose any gift-card or promo codes, do not sign the document and do not provide personal, banking or tax information. Stop communicating with the sender and follow the steps below.

Official statement from MOUZ

MOUZ confirms that:

• The supposed UGC campaigns described on this page are scams.
• MOUZ has not authorized these people to recruit creators on its behalf.
• MOUZ does not require creators to purchase Razer Gold cards, Steam cards, promotional codes or other items with their own money as a condition of participating in a campaign.
• MOUZ does not require creators to reveal redeemable gift-card codes in a video, draft, email or verification process.
• A contract displaying the MOUZ name, logo, company address or other public company information is not proof that an offer is genuine.
• A confirmation received from another address controlled by the same scammers is not independent verification.

There is no legitimate payment or reimbursement waiting once you provide the codes. Gift-card codes function like cash: once disclosed and redeemed, the value may be impossible to recover.

How the scam works

Reports received by MOUZ show a consistent process:

1. Creator outreach: A person posts a paid UGC opportunity on X or contacts a creator directly by email or social media. They claim to recruit for a MOUZ and Razer or Razer Gold campaign.
2. An attractive offer: The creator is offered an unusually high fee, commonly around USD 700–750 per video or brief, for relatively simple short-form content.
3. A convincing fake agreement: The sender provides a document described as a “Creator Partnership Agreement” or “MOUZ Gaming × Razer Inc. Creator Partnership Agreement”. It may use logos, signatures, MOUZ company details and references to a real MOUZ & Razer partnership.
4. Fake verification: The scammers may direct the creator to a second email address or domain that appears to belong to MOUZ. That address then “confirms” that the representative and campaign are genuine. This is part of the same fraud.
5. The upfront purchase: The creator is instructed to buy two USD 50 Razer Gold gift cards, Steam gift cards, promo codes or similar digital products, sometimes from a specific third-party retailer. The sender promises reimbursement after submission.
6. Extraction of the codes: The creator is asked to display the full codes in a video, send the codes for “verification”, or provide them before reimbursement and creator payment can be processed.
7. A request for more money: After the first codes are disclosed, the scammer may claim that they are invalid or produced a “verification error” and request another purchase. No legitimate payment follows.

Creators may also be asked to spend time filming and editing a complete advertisement before discovering the fraud. The professionally written brief or time invested in the content does not make the campaign genuine.

Known names, addresses and campaign descriptions used in the scam

The following identifiers have appeared in reports sent to MOUZ. They are listed to help potential victims find this warning. The names may be invented or may misuse the identity of an unrelated person. Scammers can change names and addresses at any time, so an identifier not appearing below must not be treated as safe.

Names and claimed roles

• “Tess Wilson” – claimed “Creator Partnership Manager”
• “Lori Sharma” – claimed “Creator Partnership Manager”
• “Tyler Bradshaw” – claimed “Creator Partnership Manager”

Email addresses and domains reported

• “creatorpartnership@mouzgaming.com”
• “tesswilsonx1@gmail.com”
• “lorisharma11@gmail.com”
• “tylerbradshaw007@gmail.com”
• “tylerrbradshaw007@gmail.com”
• “mouzsportsofficial@gmail.com”
• “mouzsportsdirect@gmail.com”
• “officialrazerdirect@gmail.com”

The domain “mouzgaming.com” and the addresses above are not authorized MOUZ creator-partnership channels. A display name such as “MOUZ SPORTS” can be set by anyone and does not authenticate the sender.

Campaign names reported

• “MOUZ x Razer Creator Video Campaign – 2026”
• “MOUZ x Razer UGC Campaign”
• “MOUZ x Razer Gold Creator Campaign”
• “MOUZ Gaming x Razer Inc. Creator Partnership Agreement – UGC Content Creation Campaign”
• “Razer Gold UGC Creator Opportunity”

Variations in spelling, capitalization, year, compensation or campaign title do not make the offer legitimate.

Red flags to look for

Treat an offer as suspicious if one or more of these signs appears:

• You must spend your own money before receiving payment.
• You are asked to buy gift cards, prepaid cards, Steam cards, Razer Gold cards or promo codes.
• You must reveal a complete redeemable code for “verification”.
• The sender promises to reimburse you after the code is provided.
• The outreach comes from Gmail, another free mailbox or an unfamiliar lookalike domain.
• A second suspicious address “verifies” the first sender.
• The sender creates urgency or says only a small number of creator positions remain.
• Compensation is unusually high for a straightforward brief.
• The agreement contains inconsistent company names, missing legal entities, missing registration details, incorrect wording or parties that do not match the creator.
• The sender relies on logos, signatures and publicly available company data instead of verifiable official communication.
• You are asked to share sensitive personal, banking, identity or tax information before the contact has been independently verified.

No single logo, contract, email signature, company address or domain-like display name proves authenticity.

What to do if you received an offer

If you have not purchased or shared anything

1. Do not click further links or open unexpected files.
2. Do not sign the agreement or provide personal information.
3. Do not purchase gift cards or promotional codes.
4. Preserve the original emails, social-media messages, profile URLs, contract and headers as evidence.
5. Block and report the account to the email or social-media platform.
6. If you want to verify any future MOUZ opportunity, contact MOUZ independently through the contact details published on “mousesports.com”, not through contact details supplied by the sender.

If you bought cards but have not disclosed the codes

1. Do not send or show the codes to anyone.
2. Contact the retailer and card issuer immediately and explain that the purchase is connected to an impersonation scam.
3. Ask whether the purchase can be cancelled or the codes secured.
4. Keep the cards, receipts and correspondence as evidence.

If you disclosed codes or sent money

1. Contact the gift-card issuer and retailer immediately. Ask whether the codes can be frozen, cancelled or traced.
2. Contact your bank, card provider or payment service and report the transaction as fraud. Speed matters.
3. Change any password you shared or reused. Enable multi-factor authentication on your email and social accounts.
4. If you sent identity, banking or tax documents, ask the relevant institution about fraud monitoring and identity-protection steps.
5. Report the incident to your local police or national cybercrime/fraud reporting service.
6. Report the sender’s email account, domain and social profile to the relevant providers.
7. Preserve evidence before blocking the sender: full email headers, messages, usernames, URLs, payment receipts, gift-card details, files and timestamps.

MOUZ cannot reverse gift-card redemptions or recover funds, but reporting quickly to the issuer, retailer and payment provider may improve the chance of limiting the loss.

How to verify a genuine MOUZ approach

• Navigate to the official MOUZ website yourself by entering “mousesports.com” in your browser.
• Use the contact information published there to verify the person, agency and campaign independently.
• Do not use a phone number, email address, link or “verification contact” supplied in the suspicious message.
• Check the complete sender address and domain, not only the display name.
• Ask for the full legal contracting party and ensure that the agreement actually names you or your business as a party.
• Never treat an upfront request for gift cards or redeemable codes as a normal creator-campaign process.
