PSA: I caught two cheaters in a league today. Accounts: Holdthepickle Theworkman23 These are the same user and they are cheating to stack their own teams. They use the same IP address. Check if you have these users in your leagues.
Fucking catfish
Right?
I worry about this in my league honestly. Not to a huge degree, but it’s in the back of my mind. And you opened up a great chat.
I'm going to chat with LeagueSafe for awhile and see if they have some stronger ways to catch cheating, since they are the ones dealing with all the money...it makes no sense they weren't able to catch it, and Sleeper was
What is leaguesafe?
https://www.leaguesafe.com/
It's where we deposit the money
They handle all the money. Buy-ins and pay-outs
Oh gotcha, nice
Leaguesafe only has a couple instances of use. These accounts have been in existence at least 2 seasons so I suppose sleeper has a long log of both accounts where sometimes they might have unique ips but on occasion they used the same ips when they were sloppy and thinking they'd never get caught
Damn this is some interesting drama
Glad you caught them
Hmmmm that is very interesting
The cheater used unique payments to leaguesafe so he went out of his way to avoid detection
Like payments from separate accounts
yeah
Yes.
That’s a scam
I might need to start using a different site for payments...
The cheater definitely tried to avoid detection but I think because of the type of league we were using, super flex, and the bad drafts he did with the teams that the trades are what tipped me off. I understand that this may help other cheaters but hopefully this topic informs other honest managers in how to catch cheaters
Don’t use a site for payments. Do it directly with your league. Just my opinion. How we’ve always done.
But, my league is people who all know eachother personally
We run a few money leagues with people from around the world, and on occasion need a few fill ins, just like a lot of people on Sleeper. So one structured easy site to collect money and have a majority rule pay-out for the winner helps
We send our money to Seattle where commish lives, and we receive our payments when we win. But I totally understand having leagues and international leagues where payment can be a problem
