: The use of a .txt extension can be a trick. Scammers sometimes hide real executable extensions (like .exe or .scr ) or use the text file to deliver malicious scripts.
: If this was an email, report it as phishing to your provider and inform NordVPN's customer support.
: If you have already downloaded the file, use a free scam checker or run a full system scan with NordVPN's Threat Protection Pro or a reputable antivirus.
: Scammers frequently impersonate major brands like NordVPN to trick users into downloading malicious files. They often target content creators by pretending to offer sponsorship deals and sending "contracts" or "promo materials" that are actually malware.
: Legitimate NordVPN software should only be downloaded from NordVPN's official website or verified app stores.
