Warning for Yahoo Pro League Users: Cheating

[gmoney973]

I am posting a warning for all fantasy sports players to NEVER pay for a Yahoo PRO sports league in the future. Yahoo operates illegally and unethically in running their sports leagues which allows cheating and unfair play.

These are the facts I witnessed:

-A few weeks ago one team posted that they had accidentily accepted a trade on their iphone and wanted others to veto the trade (David Lee for Jarett JAck)
-Some responded in agreement that they would veto it, Others did not respond
-The manager then posted that they would trade all their players to the teams that supported him
-The manager made a trade of Brandon Jennings, Paul George, Lebron James for Roy Hibbert, Thaddeus Young, Ramon Sessions and Andrew Bynum
-Yahoo! then vetoed the David Lee - Jack trade but kept the other unfair trade which was dumping the other teams players
-I made a similar unfair trade to another team to challenge the cheater, yahoo vetoed this trade
-Yahoo banned me from the league and deleted all the posts that provide the evidence that the manager dumped his players and colluded

I've attempted to contact Yahoo and there is no contact information and they do not respond to emails.

Please save your money and never play in a yahoo league for real money ever!!!!!

Who's the league manager in this pro league? A Yahoo! bot or a human manager in this league?

Below is the response I got from yahoo customer care:

There is no commishioner per se. Yahoo Customer Care handles complaints and/or cheating.

It's not illegal as much as poor oversight. I'm assuming people in the league voted against the James trade? If so, it should have gone before Yahoo!'s trade review office. I'm not sure how you can look at "Uncle Drew + West" trades and see anything but player dumping. And looks like the team that was the beneficiary of two questionable trades is on his way to the league championship. That's really weak, but your attempting to get what looks to be five questionable trades through was not going to help matters.
