I'm curious, Anybody else noticing a large increase in the number of giveaways from accounts with no history, often accounts created years ago? Lots of (0 wins, 0 giveaways previously, account created years ago).

Poll attached, thanks for reply. Curious to see the results. ;-)

Are you noticing a large increase in the number of giveaways from accounts with no history, often accounts created years ago?

Yes, I've noticed an increase
No, it's about normal or less than usual

i haven't noticed, but i don't look at giveaway creator's steamgifts accounts

I do so to try to avoid spending points on doubtful giveaways. Usually it's the big name games that it happens to (things like GTA V), but I'm seeing wider array now. I don't see alot of the ga's anymore due to my game inventory and # of games on my hide list, so maybe it's just the sample of games that I'm seeing now.

I "won" the telltale minecraft from one of these dudes last week. I obviously didn't get the game.

didn't notice and increase in gta5 "donations", but i'm surprised how people gets suspended for calling out fake giveaways despite knowing it's against the rules. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
