Steam account disabled due to christmas gift giving thread

Let's just wait some time...
You should all get them back, they wont just tell you that you have lost your account and all your games because someone gifted you using stolen money without you knowing. They normally tell you that they will only do it this once so in future be careful who you accept gifts off.
Seeing how it's the weekend I doubt any of use will get our accounts back before Monday.
And I magically rated myself...

Yeah...
[QUOTE=t0cketty;27571861]I got my account disabled today because a gifter from the GGT, I guess, didn't want to pay for the gift and it disabled my account. Is there anything I can do to get it back?[/QUOTE]
None whatsoever, I've heard about people claiming to be giving a ton of gifts away and then buy them with a stolen cc and then everyone that accepted the gift gets their account permanently disabled.
:smith:
He probably masterminded it all, got some jerks accounts disabled.

e.g 4chan's video games section
I don't think mr.pie is that much of a dickhole to do that
I've spoken to mr. pie before and I highly doubt he did this on purpose.
Either way though, I've gotten enough PMs about it to realize that it is a problem, but there's nothing I can do. You guys will have to rely on Steam Support to pull through for you.

Do me a favor, you guys, if your account has been disabled, post please. I need a good count.
My account was disabled.

It seems we have a really common taste when it comes to posting in threads.

Wut.
Alright, I'll need your guys' help. If you can go through the christmas sale threads and find anything regarding Mr. Pie and the whole incident, that'd be great. Anything he might have said or done at that time that could have possibly pointed towards something like this happening. I'll be looking too.
I'll be sending on some information to steam support to help you guys out.
Secret GGT Take-down 2011.
Thanks for the help Pascall.
Err... I won Oblivion: GOTY in a raffle by Mr.Pie, and we played ArmA 2 together for a while (me, Mr.Pie and Legolas), and he gifted me the two DLC's for ArmA 2 and he gifted Legolas ArmA2 and the two DLC's if I'm not misstaken. Is that helpful?
A bit. I'm really just looking for certain posts and what not that I can send along so they can sort this out.

Aye, thanks.
my account is disabled too. He held a "quote first" contest for vvvvvvv on the 22nd of december :v:
He gifted me Just Cause 2.
I feel bad for the guy that bought me some DLCs :saddowns:
I didn't get disabled, but Mr .Pie sounds like a really nice guy.
Fuck I need to change my avatar.
Alright, I submitted a support ticket with a list of the disabled users as well as a description of the incident.
I will keep you guys informed if I receive a response.

Thanks mate.
