The last week I won a game (3 Copies) and didn't receive the game. Talking with the creator of the giveaway he told me:

Chat
(The guy is from Poland. translate.google.com)

1 week ago, none of the three winners received the game

First he said the mail has been sent (i didn't received anything). Then said he has formatted his pc and that's why he lost the keys. It's obviously a lie. So my question is:
I just check it as "not received"? Must I report him?
Thanks for any answer and sorry for my bad english ^^

Update: suddenly this guy added me to Steam and told me that:
Chat
Looks like a big lie, he es giving me a key after this topic was created, but i'm not going to activate it, i'm not sure. If the key is real, can I change "Not received" to "received"?
By the way, the guy commented on my profile saying i'm a thief and posted a gore pic.

Update 2: the key of the misterious guy is for Enclave. Still lying, haha!

I say report cause if he didn't keep up his end of the bargain, he should be taken off Steam Gifts for fraud.

Wait 7 days, if he doesn't send you a key, then mark it as not received and report him because it does seem a bit like hes lying.

Edit: Oops, sorry, din't notice that the giveaway ended a week ago already. So, just mark it as not received and report.

Well, I'm from Poland too and I must say very sorry to You for this guy. He can't even speak Polish correctly based on chat screenshoot (he is probably way much younger than 18). All he wrote is pour try to sneak out from giving You a key. Mark giveaway as not received and report him. I had same situation when I won GTA Complete. Giveaway creator was from Poland too btw.
Cheers.

Just mark it as not received. 3 strikes and he's out, and that is 3 gifts already not received. Bad for you, but he'll not disappoint anyone else here.

Watch out, some mod might say you're calling out (I can check your not received gift).

And you're giving ammo against "do not write 'fake'" thread, so you're at double risk :)

Lol, the key is for Enclave, not the game I won. Already own it. The guy is trying to make me check it as received.

You want to remove the game name so that you don't get suspended for "calling out."

And then you want to mark as "not received" and create a support ticket with the story. This punk should be out with three strikes.
