Just been browsing through ebay and came across a few cheapish game serial codes. The auctions state that you need to set up a VPN and activate as though you're in Russia, then change back over and you've got the full game with no problems. The seller has a few hundred feedback at 100% as well, not someone who's just popped up.

Few questions:

1) Anyone else done this with success?
2) Is it illegal, something tells me it's less than legit?
3) If you do it and it works, can you get banned from Steam at a later date for doing so.

I'll be honest, seen a MW3 key for £15 and feel like playing the SP, not interested in the online side of it. However with a few hundred games already on my steam account, don't want to risk a ban.

I suppose I could open a second steam account but then if there are no problems, it's going to bug me having more than 1 steam account ;)
 
I'm not dying to play MW3 so i'll just wait until it's in an official steam sale, it's still stupid price at the moment. The key I saw on ebay was £15 which is the only reason I considered it.
