  1. Contact the creator (try posting on the GA or adding him/her on steam)
  2. Tell them key is duplicate
  3. If they say they'll provide a new one, wait
  4. If they say they will not provide a new one, cry and wait 7 days, then mark as "not received"

ask the giveaway creator for a new key. if he can't provide a new one within 7 days, mark it as not received. sorry that your first giveaway is a disappointment. :)

I'm new too and this pretty much always happens to me... Well it has happens about half the time. I don't know why people constantly put up fake giveaways.

The last time this happened to me, I asked the poster if he had a different key to give away, since he already took the one he tried to give me. He said, "No." So, I said, "OK". I waited 7 days, marked it as not received.
Later that day he contacted me to to request that I change the status to received. I said, "No." Then, he left negative feedback for me on my trade page (even though there was no trade) and he filed a support ticket against me (even though he had no reason). Looks like support deleted his negative feedback.

What I'm saying is... I hope it goes better for you.

Remember: Do not mark the game as recived until you get a working key.

BUT, if you wish hard enough on the power of friendship when you press the button, then you can reverse the causal nature of time and receive the game faster!!!

and also you take the risk of a suspension if the game you mark as "received" and is not in your library..

Hmm... The power of friendship doesn't seem to hold up too well to the Ban Hammer.

I have the worst friends. None of them has ever taken a hammer to head very well.

You should meet my dad. He took a sledgehammer to the face.

Rebounded off a car motor he was smashing up for some reason I no longer remember.

Guess he probably doesn't remember either then. Sounds like we'd be great friends.
