Wrong game from redeem code.

[moustache]

A friend has gifted me a game with a redeem code, but the code turned out to give me another game. Does anyone know if i'm in some sort of peril? Should i be worried if my account gets taken? The site was eneba

No, you got the correct game as you can only receive the game for which the code is for.

You might want to ask your friend on which shady site they bought the key, cause it's very likely they thought they bought game A but received the code for game B.

Which is not an authorized reseller. So, in the best case, you get to keep what you got.
In the worst case, the game gets revoked because your friend got scammed.

The site you mentioned is not a legitimate nor authorized Steam activation key vendor.

This site lists legitimate key vendors: https://rgamedeals.net/

I mentioned the site already, and he bought a game for me, but the code gave me another game.

Let me guess, what you got is cheaper than the game advertised.

Nobody can help you with the illegitimate sale.

I literally don't know, i just trusted my friend who has given me games from this site already with no issues, this is the first time. I just care about being any risk involved

No. It takes quite a bit more than the most recent game key activation to convince Steam Support someone is the owner of an account.

See above.

For the reasons above, not really necessary, or possible.
