I can't get HBO max here (UK) and I got the email. I don't recall signing up for anything.

If I get a moment I might GDPR the info out of them but honestly loads of spammers have my email it's nbd.

Sounds like it could be the scam where they put in your email address and hope that you pay the bill for them:
