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.
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
Hopefully there's some other commishs out there reading this that can DM me if they have a better way to handle the money
Give me your phone number and call me so I know you are a unique user is probably the only way to verify people
I’m just saying we would never let a website help us make our buy-ins and pay-outs. Because it’s a friends-league.
Phone number is a great start. But I pay for 2 numbers a month. Mine and my lady’s. So I could easily scam on that
true
lol
And use a voice changer? Lmao
Send me your name, address, phone number, date of birth, social security number, mother's maiden name and a copy of your driver's license 😂😂
Haha well if you want voice recognition then that’s even better, but again, I could just use my old lady to fill in on the voice overs while I run the team. Just saying. I want to find a way to prevent this
Hahahahaha social security number lol might be the only way
Even a local redraft that I've been in for 10 years had a manager with his "girlfriends" team. Lmao
Of course that was a scam and that was between local friends
We live draft
🙄
one guy we talked to said he played against the cheater last season and still won lmao, so fuck it...maybe one guy with 2 accounts helps everyone else more?!?!
Honestly I run a side league and my lady is in it. Have I given her good advice? Hell yeah. But have I ever crossed that line of trying to run 2 teams? Hell no.
She can sink or swim lol
But hey that’s why my gf could never join my main league. Conflict of interest. None of us would ever let our SO’s join
Teams can be used to horde unnecessary players from the waiver to block managers that might be in contention and could use that player from the waiver. I've seen a lot of dirty moves over the years. Unfortunately today won't be the last either.
