"Hi! We love your content and want to send you our skincare set free for a review. To cover shipping we just need a small $4.99 payment. Reply with your card number, expiration, and CVV..."
HIGH RISK 98/100
Request for sensitive payment info
Asking for card number, expiration, and CVV is a direct phishing attempt. Legitimate brands never request this via DM.
Upfront fee for a "free" product
Charging $4.99 "shipping" on a supposedly free review product is a common tactic to extract payment.
