This makes me worry about the guy with the brink giveaway.

Both of his giveaways (the Valve Complete Pack and Brink) should be taking down before it gets people's hopes up just to have them crushed (and lose their 100/50points in the process). And I don't see how the games can be taken back as there are no physical copies of the Valve Complete Pack that you can buy from a retail store [how is it that he could say he was going to offer keys to the winners of that giveaway]. I know I will never be able to trust this user again. It seemed iffy before, but now I know it was iffy. Thinking about it, he might be a scammer, somebody which we don't want in the community.
EDIT: Never mind, the giveaways were just removed.

I use a different email and username for my Steam account than I do here, so I think I'm pretty secure in that regard. I'll forward this and the original thread to Valve, hopefully we can get some official wording and advice in regards to this.

As you can see by the following, enough info is provided in a key transaction to let the giveaway user seize your account:
