About a month ago I won a Twitter giveaway for a random Steam key, which turned out to be Cyberpunk Sex Simulator.

Today the guy I got it from sent me a DM on Twitter saying:"Hey there! I am reaching out to all of those who received NSFW games. I apologize; we got many batches of STEAM keys, so we were not expecting those in the mix. I hope you understand. To make it up to you, I will send you a $10 Amazon Gift card! What is the email address associated with your Amazon Account? I will get that sent soon!".

He tweetted this yesterday: https://imgur.com/a/HFbpwJv

My question is, could he in any way scam me with just that one piece of info (my personal email address)? Thanks in advance.

Not scamming, but there are other ways of email abuse, but if you win here, you also get your email exposed, and basically anyone that could get your email through one way or the other.

Well maybe he could bruteforce a password or try their helpdesk, but i think it's slim, bit weird to offer "money" though for such a thing, also depends how many others got such a key and offer, if it's 1000, well you can take a guess.
