I did enter into this giveaway, but I find it hard to believe that I was picked out of thousands of people. Before I give anything away, I want to make sure that this is completely official.

Have them send you an email, check the domain it’s sent from
I mean as long as they’re not asking you to pay anything or provide any info besides what they asked, it’s fine. Once they start asking for more sensitive information and asking for payment of any type or asking you to apply on another sketchy website is when you should be concerned.
Considering an “RTX 500” doesn’t exist, and neither does the upcoming RTX 5000 Series. Probably. Can’t have a sweepstakes for soemthing that doesn’t exist.
looks like a scam…WTH is RTX 500? Shouldn’t it be RTX 5000?
OMG GRATS!! @ them on twitter to confirm and be like hey did you guys message me this.
Did you enter said Giveaway lol
Nothing is impossible
Looks legit. Congratz !
It’s an obvious scam yall dumb
Wtf bro, you won…
Seems legit. What’s the worst that can happen giving them the requested info? If they got hacked or something just don’t send them any money or crypto if they ask. Congrats if legit.
shit bro they’re not making you pay? i think it’s worth a shot until it gets fishy.
Rtx 500??
Give them my contact information – I’ll take the risk for you
Ah yes the RTX 500 series
Looks like you won something. I’ll take it tho obviously if you don’t want it
What RTX 500 sweepstakes? Is that something they held recently?
I feel like name is pretty self explanatory why they’d ask. Age is because often there are laws that mandate all those “18 or older” or “13 with parent permission” (In the US at least) so they gotta ask to make sure you’re not a little kid. Country of residence for laws and tax reasons. Contact details so they can contact you via something other than through their social media intern.
Nothing seems out of place here, just a little informal but I assume the more formal stuff will be through the contact details you send them.
Please send them my details
Same thing happened to me with virtus pro, they said i won a 2TB m.2, gave them the info and it got to my house in a week and works fine.
Sometimes its just luck.
EDIT: didn’t sign up for giveaway btw
I won a giveaway from them a few days ago for a case badge, they sent me a code and a redemption link to confirm similar details. The account/banner looks legit tho.
What is the rtx 500 series? The 5000 series hasn’t been made quite yet so….seems a smidge sketch.
Some of those questions would likely help them recover your account…aka steal your account…so they can use it to scam or spam
It’s always possible they were hacked. But I mean, since you did actually enter the giveaway and it is the official account, that’s about as good as it gets I guess. They’re not really asking for much information, most of that is stuff you could find easily enough. You could make a new email account if you’re worried I guess.
Stupid question
You’ve got to be kidding. Look I never believe I’m gonna win but when I enter a giveaway and get a message from the account doing said giveaway I’d think it’s legit.
I think they’d conduct the giveaway confirmation in a different way than this. It looks like a phishing text.
Def hacked stay safe
Lucky… I Never won anything
Looks like you won! Congrats.
i think you got a bag my g
congratz
I received a similar message on FB from Porsche a few years ago that I thought was a scam. It ended up being legit. Got to spend a day driving their cars on a race track with their pro drivers for free.
It’s legit
put my contact details in if its a scam we will know

Seems legit to me.
Nothing suspicious. Normally a scammer will ask for stuff like your bank details.
I feel like this is actually legit.

“They aren’t hacked are they?”
I miss my 550ti
Congrats!
This isn’t information that can very easily be used against you and is information that can easily be purchased from social media companies.
Age ≠ DOB.
Country/region ≠ street address.
Name ≠ full name.
Email = email. It can be backed but that’s unlikely because you’ve not provided information pertaining to any secret questions. Hopefully your password is unrelated also.
I would absolutely provide this information.
If still concerned, contact them directly using a different means & ask if it is them.
Can we test it with my info?
(It’s a pipebomb)
I’ve won something from them before and can confirm they message you pretty informally but received the prize all good 🙂
All relevant info and not too high risk. Give them the info.
I mean, it’s the official account. It doesn’t get much more official then that. Congratulations for winning!
How paranoid can you be
Why wouldn’t they send you an email? Or was it a retweet to enter thing?
Some of you legitimately worry me on a daily basis.
