No I did not add any extra zeros. And guess what? The first few ip numbers match. Exactly.

Norway list. Can't believe this guy will be playing much longer.

I found one exactly like this yesterday in Argentina. A 27 yr old player valued near 40000, sold for something like 285000. Convinent that it was just under the 300000, limit.

I have another team in my division that I am suspicious of. He is literally selling all his players, and forefiting every game. I think he is going to wait for demotion and then take the money out, surrounded by bot teams with noone to notice.

I did a search for inadequate keeperers in Belgium. I got 5 that had bids of over $140,000. Every time I look in Argentina, they have insane stuff going on too.

Just wondering, how long does it usually take for the GM's to take care of cheaters? I reported this one guy 4 or 5 days ago and he is still playing. I originally got suspicious when he sold a $125,000 value keeper for $300,000, but now I see he sold a guy worth $5,000 for $100,000 and a guy worth $10,000 for $100,000, all to the same team. Unbelievable. This guy's team id is 71319.

He has not logged in since the 28th, so he may be locked out. I don't think the team gets immediately deleted.

Accardo, Masked is right. If the owner has not looged in for 4 days, it looks like your GM took action almost immediately. I reported two teams (with a third that was related but I found afterward) in Canada on the 21st and the three teams have not looged in since hte 21st. However, the team will stay ownerless until it's been replaced by another owner...

I see, didn't think to look at that. I figured just that the team would be removed.

[NAIWF]

I reported that 71319 guy too :)

Don't forget that sometimes there are reason people pay a lot for players, like if they were a clown.

Not only that,sometimes people may mistype. I know I've accidently bid 20,000 rather than 2,000 on a player. So I do think its possible for similar mistakes. (as an example..Seeing as at one point inad keepers tended to go for 20k, someone bidding 200,000 on an inad keeper *might* simply might be a mistake.)

I'm not saying not to report people you think may be cheating, but perhaps just do a little back checking on past transfers. I'll admit on the one instance of cheating I reported, I messaged a more experienced player I respected for his opinions on the matter, but the public posting of people you *think* might be cheating just sort of leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Just report them to the GMs and let them do their jobs. :)

But still the IPs that hattrick show are the same. And since it would take someone super n00b to buy a guy like that, I doubt it. But I agree with what Eliim said that it might just be a typo, but there are some cases where it might be that, but it's highly unlikey.

[damnMikeBrown]

More often than not, you open up the buying team, and you find more than one trade with the cheater's main team. Then there's the matching IP's, log in times being identical. . etc. . .
