So I got a random friends request from a guy after I had one "Pacific Storm". He told me that me winning seems fishy since I had 23 entries and won 1 and the fact that I signed up a couple days previous. I don't know what this guy wanted but here is the whole Steam conversation:

Never tell your password to anyone.

July-27-13

2:52 PM - Gabe Newell: Hello?

2:52 PM - : Hi.

2:52 PM - : I know your not Gave Newell or Tylor the creator btw.

2:52 PM - : just added you to say it seems fishy.

2:52 PM - Gabe Newell: I know xD

2:53 PM - : Too fishy....

2:53 PM - : First 23 entries and you win?

2:53 PM - : Mhmmm...

2:53 PM - Gabe Newell: Yeah, I don't know how

2:53 PM - : Mhmm.

2:53 PM - Gabe Newell: I just gained points and I won

2:55 PM - : what did you do to win.

2:55 PM - : because you joined YESTERDAY

2:56 PM - Gabe Newell: I didnt join yesterday, I joined a couple days previous. Look if you think I cheated, I honestly didnt.

I just racked up a few points and then entered in almost everything on the main page

2:56 PM - : You joined days previously?

2:56 PM - : Im at your profile right now.

2:57 PM - Gabe Newell: The system that SteamGifts uses is completely at random

2:57 PM - : Registered1 day ago

2:57 PM - : So for one, your lieing.

2:57 PM - Gabe Newell: Well that should say 2-3 days ago

2:57 PM - : Check your profile yourself

2:57 PM - Gabe Newell: But what is your point?

2:58 PM - Gabe Newell: So what if I won?

2:58 PM - : Nothing, i dont mind, just seems a little fishy, too fishy.

2:58 PM - Gabe Newell: What do you mean by fishy?

2:58 PM - Gabe Newell: I don't see any way that someone can cheat if SteamGifts picks people at random

2:59 PM - : You joined yesterday, enterd 23 giveaways and one one in just two days.

2:59 PM - Gabe Newell: So? It is completely random

2:59 PM - : Mhmmm

2:59 PM - : this one

2:59 PM - : is believable

2:59 PM - : http://www.steamgifts.com/user/lrnx

2:59 PM - : but yours....

3:00 PM - Gabe Newell: Look, don't come here pointing fingers and blaming me for cheating. I have done nothing wrong.

3:00 PM - : Im not saying your cheating.

3:00 PM - : I know its random, but it seems fishy imo.

3:01 PM - : One question. Why where your previouse name's ''Tylor the creator'?

3:01 PM - Gabe Newell: Okay, you think what you think but please don't disturb me and add me to tell me that you think its

fishy.

3:02 PM - Gabe Newell: And I don't know... I was just trolling a friend that liked Tyler

3:02 PM - : Mhmm sure. k bye.

3:02 PM - is now Offline.

Censor the guys name. Calling out is suspendable.

I don't know if you could try to report this guy, but he shouldn't be harassing you for being lucky. :s

Congratulations on winning, though!

Cross out the name(And the link to the guys profile). It's considered calling out.

Pretty funny story.

I consider it suspicious anytime someone other than myself wins a game. Even if I didn't enter the giveaway or already own it. Not that I'm a paranoid or anything.
