As many as 12 000 Steam users recent got an automated message over the last two weeks, erroneously informing them that they had been detected cheating in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and had their accounts banned. Steam has since made this up to owners of accounts that were incorrectly banned by giving those affected free copies of Left 4 Dead 2

You get a second copy for a friend as well, but mail em back. I'm sure they'll do something else for you.
