i just got sent an email by GTribe saying congratulations i won one of their paid thing.

the thing is i entered gtribe, because of the AMD PC giveaway, that was sent to me on AMD newsletter.

but now i'm kinda suspicious if Gtribe is somekinda trap.

edit :
here's their email to me :

*******

The Defiance Giveaway has just reached 200,000 unique participants milestone. To celebrate, we are giving you GOD Mode Attraction subscription, valued at $11.88, for one year at no cost to you, courtesy of Radeon!

they do that promotion often, it's their lowest tier, it just automatically enters you into giveaways so you don't have to go back every time they do one (which is often)

" and automatic liking of all global giveaway sponsor pages on GTribe" may automatically enroll your email address to receive advertising spam from those 'sponsors'.

That is why you set up a spam email account just for this purpose.
