To the best of my knowledge, they're either suspended or banned, depending on the situation.

As far as I know, they get banned and everybody gets their points back. I guess, it takes some time, to find out who creates them.

All their belongings are seized, including Steam accounts. Their games are distributed among random Steam users. Then, they are extradited to a top secret SG base where they are chained to poles and frequently flogged. I don't know what happens after that, my ... ehm, friend lost consciousness, but they say their butt hurt for a week.

It's really sad that there are stupid people in the world who thinks that some rich guy owns this site and has nothing better to do with his money than give away Steam games and give others the credit for doing so. Is that what these idiots who join and don't read the F.A.Q. before making a giveaway are thinking?

Sorry about what happened to you. Don't mark the game as received, report the person, and wait. It sometimes takes time for the staff to get through all of the reports but they will eventually ban the guy if this story is true.

If it's multiple offense, I think they get suspended for a while. First time I don't think anything is done against them.

I guess he didn't know how the site works either.

I hope there's a quiz you have to answer while registering to the website in SGv2 with questions from FAQ, rules and about how the website runs...

There's a little button inside the giveaway called "Report Giveaway." Click on that if you think the giveaway is a "fake." If you win a giveaway and don't receive your game, mark "not received" and report the creator of the giveaway using a Support ticket. (The "Report User" button doesn't work.)
