Hey, it could of been worse, at least this guy has Oblivion in his Steam account and has recently played it. Rather he win it then someone who has never played an Elder Scrolls game before.
Rather him than a Russian with only free games on his account...
So apparently someone changed their Steam name to match the winner and scammed the gift...

You are correct.

He changed his name and avatar to that of the winner, and scammed Skyrim from the gifter. I want him dead. He did this to two other people today.
Edit: The submitter is buying a second copy for the actual winner. That is a solid person, and deserves to win the lottery.
This scammer needs to die, however.
wow what the fuck seriously?
... and he's russian. No suprise there.
[QUOTE=CultDJ;31771650]You are correct.

That's fucken terrible, I hope Steam support can revoke the gift. Hope he gets hit by a car.
Wow holy shit, that's a massive dick move. Like god damn.

That's solid, but can't he cancel the other preorder?
What an asshole.
Be right back, trying that right now.

if the buyer contacts steam support he can revoke his purchase for that russian.

oh yea and who called out the russians on this site before??? me???
Just look at his profile. 379/379 TF2 achievements in 12h, 67/67 L4D achievements in 27h
Idiot
Where is Ridlas? Cancel the pre-order from that jerk now!
By the way Ridas, if you payed by PayPal don't dispute it, your account will just get suspended.
I can't get over how much of an asshole that guy must be.

Maybe you have these already, but never can be too sure.
In case he decides to change his steam id name:

I'm just going to say, never have the gift winner add you and claim it. Always add them or send it to their email. I learned this from the TF2 raffle threads when people did the same thing.
Everybody report him on steam! He is obviously a huge ass dick cheater since all achievements unlocked and gold-camo on his guns in Black ops etc.
The winner also received his gift.

I'm glad to know the hoster was kind enough to go out of his way and buy it again for him. Really nice of him. Now he needs to revoke the other gift he sent.
I can't believe it actually happened. Here we are saying "at least a Russian scammer didn't whin" he look what happened.
He has been scamming people all day. I hope he realizes he won't get any of the property.

Reported profile for user misconduct. I'm obviously not going to be the only one doing this so chances are that Valve support will take notice.
[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;31772015]Reported profile for user misconduct. I'm obviously not going to be the only one doing this so chances are that Valve support will take notice.[/QUOTE]I reported for cheating and misconduct.
Already suggested it at SteamGifts, but maybe there should be and "Announcement" tab up next to Home and Create a Giveaway links? The Announcement tab would show how many new announcements are made by mods/admins with little number next to it.
Suggesting this because probably a lot of people don't know about these kind of stuff (scamming, maybe some news etc) happening if they don't check the forums, so this could ease it up to see what's new or when there's scammer running around.
Also, reposting this, in case:

Reported as well.

I reported him too
You just need to login then go to his page guys. Then you can report him all you want.

Btw on the gift page it says he received the game so it's good.
Maybe it would be best for the winner to not be announced until they have claimed their prize. This would seriously stamp down on scammers trying to redeem the prize.

That would work because if you win you have a green bar in middle of screen stating you have won whenever you visit with unclaimed gift.

And for everyone viewing it will basically be like "The winner has been chosen! The winner will be announced publicly when they redeem his/her prize".
