Bigs: This ought to be interesting...

*grabs popcorn*

BruceLeeForever: Amrit won't reply to my chat messages and I want to pay the guy back for being so nice and gifting me a game that I sadly could not pay for back at that time (and now is not in my library anymore). I owe the guy something but I have no income and I am still fighting for Social Security benefits since February of 2014. I don't know how to pay the guy back at all. I want to start getting more games on here but with this reputation, I can't. I feel really bad for putting him through this. Can anybody help me with a way to help him out. I'm not a scammer, I unblocked the guy and everything and I'll do most anything to pay him back. I've been scammed on Steam many times over due to my stupidity and I could never sleep at night knowing I made someone feel the way I felt when I got scammed. I honestly hate the scammer rep and would do anything to fix my credibility. Thanks. :)

HunchBluntley: Generally, you start by interacting (positively) with the community; then, much later (if you like), you can progress to taking part in giveaways. If you want to have a chance of getting your rep positive (and keeping it there), participate constructively in threads without begging for games. If, however, you spot a giveaway/contest that has no restrictions regarding rep or community standing, and allows you to enter on behalf of someone else, by all means, enter for amrit. Just be aware that a lot of people in these forums do not forgive easily, and some are also extremely paranoid about possible scammers and their alleged alts.

BruceLeeForever: Well alright! I'll do just that. Thank you for the help. :)

BruceLeeForever: Who in the hell is WAKALO or Anasto? Some infamous GOG scammer?BruceLeeForever:

BruceLeeForever: They're gone out of my library. Support must have removed them. I hope Amrit got his/her money back. I would love to gift them a game when they have time. I want nothing else in return. I owe them an apology and a game for the trouble. :)

HereForTheBeer: Note that Support doesn't remove games just because they feel like it - which is why I questioned that detail. And it has nothing to do with your rep or anything like that from the forum. If they got removed, it's likely because those were not valid codes in the first place.

Lately, a number of games have been pulled from customer libraries because the codes have been purchased from sites that resell codes. A number of these codes are acquired using stolen credit card numbers - or at least that's the word we're getting - and then gOg yanks the games once it's determined the purchase is fraudulent.

If your game(s) got yanked then it's likely the gifter acquired them from one of these third-party sites and that the code was originally purchased with a stolen card and then sold to the third-party reseller. In that case, I wouldn't go out of my way to repay the gifter.
