conglaturations, you're winner!

Just wanna say I like your avatar... ahhh MSN

Considering that the giveaway contained a key, then I believe that someone thought they could giveaway a game from there own personal library. Sorry to hear about your bad luck on your birthday (happy birthday!).

If you really wanted to play Blops II, you could probably just buy an older & less expensive CoD game as they're all the same.

You never know (for sure) if a GA is fake or not, but you don't need to be a high class detective to make an educated guess whether or not the GA creator will really deliver.

CoD giveaways created by users that joined a few hours ago are most likely "too good to be true".

CoD giveaways created by users that joined a few years ago and already have successfully delivered some games are the ones that you want to join instead.

also: happy birthday =)

Mark as 'Not Received', report the user and move on...

I won Call of Duty Black Ops II and Key is used for the donator.

So you are one more, sorry.

join the club :) only thing i won here and i never got it :)

Another additon(me) to this club as well.Don't know how a guy created a giveaway(which I won and never got) when he had NO steam account .

Sadly it's not uncommon for people to try and troll by giving away expensive and popular games. If you see a recent high profile release being given away by someone who has just joined, then chances are that that person is a troll. It's not a 100% certainty, mind you (I thought a person who gave away a lot of Sniper Elite 3 keys was one of those trolls, so I did not join his giveaways, turned out I was wrong, sucks to be me ;) ), but it's very very likely.

Shit just happens. Only thing you can do is conntact support so he gets ban and won't make more fakes.

In the future just check creators stamgifts and steam profiles before entering and se if it looks legit or not.

I thank you all for your kind responsiveness, wishes and advices.

Perhaps you get notified by my response and could answer me the following silly FAQ:

1. how do I myself create a give-away?
2. what are the main reasons for pple to create give-aways per se? Are these all altruists (which is hard to believe)... just trying to figure out the motivation behind this. Receiving free games is obvious tho`. ;)

Cheers!

Well, sorry to hear that.
But Happy Birthday :)

I'm sorry to hear that but do make it a habit to check the profile of the user with high profile GAs. They might be new and not familiar with the rules. I hope you'll have better luck next time and of course, happy birthday to you! ^^

Annoying fake giveaways

one can not simply expect to win a cod game on SG, even when you do. :P
