Listed below are surnames inside the top 500 of the Daily Mail game that have more than one different christian name.

Names in red are those that I have asked GFM (game organisers) to investigate. The reasons being one or a combination of the following.
Uncommon surname, consistency between names, team name similarities, male/female entry.

I have done this due to GFMs inept ability to investigate potential multi entry teams (see 'Prossergate' from the 10/11 and 11/12 seasons), they have recently started to not reply to emails too so I am making all persons that play GFM games aware of the conditions that you are playing under.
The current leader is one I feel needs investigating. It could turn out that the person finishing second loses out on £15,000 due to GFMs lazy approach to investigating teams/names that are at least suspicious.

17 of the below lists include both female and male entrants.

I am open to any questions, for example why I highlighted certain names and not others (that may have similar circumstances), I will try my best to explain why but please remember I am human and may make mistakes. It does not stop anybody else from reporting names not in red if they wish to do so.

Interesting - Let me know if GFM do nothing about some of the blatant attempts at least.

For those who don't know I am very unfortunately not this Andrew Jones:

2 Andrew Jones Sky Blue Elephants 2003

I hate Coventry!!!

Chuck I don't play the Mail but one of those names is a FISOer and judging by his posts, a really nice guy. Do we really need this ?

So I should make FISOers exempt?

All I'm doing is bringing this to the public eye and asking that GFM investigate.

If I've broken any forum terms and conditions then I'm sure my threads will be deleted and ill be warned/banned from FISO.

In highlighting common surnames I will not make any exceptions.

Apologies to anyone that is offended by my posts.

No I wasn't offended and no-one certainly wants you to be banned

I just wondered if there could be, say, a more tactful approach ?

Suggestions on a postcard please.....

Finally some recognition Hello, the Stirlands are me and my dad. That's my actual father not me in disguise. It's no secret and has been mentioned on here several times in the past. You can find me presenting what I think is fairly convincing evidence in the Metro forum from when this was the Metro game a couple of years ago.

As GFM run/ran the Telegraph games, which we've both played many times, they'll have a record of us both playing paid for games going back over ten years which I think makes it pretty clear we're genuine. Unless I paid to enter under other names a decade in advance in order to give myself an advantage in a future contest which didn't yet exist....

I appreciate the post Art, especially as there was no tone of anger to it. Thank you.

I'm sure you can understand why your names were included. You know you're genuine so all's good.

Good luck in the game.

Reads like a full confession to me, very clever to set this up over 10 years ago. You need to watch this one Chuck!

Ditto my son Jamie has been paying for his TFF teams ever since he was 18!
If I wanted an extra 5 teams or more in The Mail I wouldnt be such an idiot to use my son - ive got mates/cousins that I could use for that purpose!
The Mail is such a high maintenance competition plus pretty skillful that 5 is more than enough.

I also appreciate your post Bear, especially as it wasn't the first time that I've mentioned your name and again you reply with dignity and good nature. A thank you to you too.

Good luck to yourself and Jamie.

I am a bit confused as 5 is the per person limit, and there are people with less than 5 here......

Chuck has only named teams in the top 500, they may have more teams further adrift.

See Nigel Barrett (7 teams) blah.

The point is not how many teams a name has. It's that, for example, team name abnormalities (see the Barrett clan) point heavily towards the likelihood of one person controlling all the said teams.

The Mail rules state that no teams may be entered by agents or third parties.

Just wait until you see what I've got planned for the 2024 season

Who's Charlie Cooper?

2 Bongo Fulke Mark Dronsfield 1256

Thankfully I only entered 12 teams in that one + free one and I know Jamie only entered his freeone so I wont have to put up with the Fiso Police!

Where would your teams in 3rd and 28th and Jamies in 52nd and 62nd be if Prossers 30+ teams were still present? I'm not implying Prosser is a threat but he's holding his own in TFF. I also understand that you're doing very well in most games this season.
Where could they be if the obvious Barretts/Pikes/Harkers are booted?

I think you see my point. The FISO Police are required.

Daily Mail reply to the link I posted on Facebook to this Article.

Mr Kane, the author of this thread on the FISO website, has been in touch with us a number of times, and investigations into all potential multi-entrants that he has made us aware of are ongoing.

If there is any concrete evidence that they are breaking the rules of the game, we will remove their teams.

today....

Thank you for your recent emails on this subject.
We are currently in the process of investigating the managers that you have notified us of. These things do take time, and we do not have additional resources to look into this, but they WILL be investigated in due course. Some names that you have mentioned have already been investigated earlier in the season, and we are satisfied that they are controlling their teams and are not in breach of the terms.
Please note that the terms state “Participants found to have registered more than five teams may be removed from the MailOnline Game, disqualified and not be eligible to win prizes. If you do not provide your real name when registering, you may not be able to claim any prize for which you otherwise would be eligible. Entries must not be submitted by agents or third parties and such entries will be deemed void”

So, managers can seek advice from their friends or family to help them win, but as long as the named manager is the sole person in charge of the team they are eligible to win prizes.

ps. Russell Kane is a comedian, I try to be but fail.

It will be interesting how gfm handle the Barrett and McCall clans because if anything they are more blatent than the Prossers and they were kicked out, ALL of them.

I'd now like to know why the Prossers were kicked out (considering other clans have very similar circumstances). Matt Rust was obvious (facebook confession) but every Prosser?

managers can seek advice from their friends or family to help them win

If there is any concrete evidence that they are breaking the rules of the game, we will remove their teams.

What concrete evidence did they have to kick out 100% of the Prossers that they won't have to kick out the Barretts/McCalls?

Dont open at work

Hello Mr Cane, since you seem to be the person most obsessed with the policing of the Daily Mail game, and since I am probably the person best placed to comment on GFM's investigation procedures, I think it only fair to give you an insight which might save you time with regard to the co-ordination of future witch hunts.

GFM send you a bulk standard e-mail enquiring if you are responsible for managing your teams or for managing more than 5. If you respond to them claiming to be responsible for your own teams as (quite rightly) 3 members of my staff did, you receive a bulk standard response from them effectively saying 'thank you for clarifying that and good luck with game'.
If, you respond confirming that you had breached the rules, or, as was the case with myself and various members of my family, you make a tacit withdrawal by not responding within their deadline of 14 days, your teams are removed.

There you have it. GFM's investigation procedure is at best flawed, at worst negligible.

Had my family and I responsed to their e-mail, claiming to be individually responsible for managing our own teams and controlling no more than 5, we would have remained in the game. Although my wife is becoming afflicted with the FF bug (she did well in YTM last season) the enthusiasts in the family are myself and my son, Sam, and we were managing the teams for my parents, sister and daughter. Consequently, once the rules were pointed out we chose to withdraw from the game. I suspect that more committed 'cheats' are simply responding to GFM in the affirmative.

I'm sorry Dean but I will have to take that reply with a pinch of salt, it would be naive of me to believe that the person posting is in fact the real Dean Prosser, FISO is awash with trolls so I am sure you understand. Of course it could be genuine and if in fact it is I appreciate your reply. Thank you for that insight and by no means am I surprised by what you have written.
Yes I have a problem with multi's controlling others teams to gain an advantage over other genuine players, it is cheating and i do not condone it. If that is you it is a big thing to come on here and post so thank you. Your domination of the leaderboards over the past 2 seasons made it easy for me to use your case first. I sometimes do not go about my business in the best way and I'm the first to admit that so if I have said anything untoward I apologise.
If what you write is true then GFM have alot to answer to as they are not 'investigating' as they have said they have done and will do.

I know GFM will be keeping an eye on these threads and posts and I am now asking them to make themselves known on FISO and respond to 'dean prossers' post.
Yes the Prossers were breaking the rules. But if others are doing the same then they should be treated the same and if I were the Prossers I would be mystified and angry if others were not treated exactly as I were.

GFM, what do you have to say on the matter?

I sent a response via the web site but received nought
I thought that this game would be like a breath of fresh air & gave it ago after last years Sun game proved that cheating is rife in the Fantasy Football land & that the competitions organisers were not bothered even when given evidence & they realised the Tamminater was being used to bypass entry fields
I just hope the Mail are a little bit stricter & apply zero tollerance other wise next year I will be checking out my family tree after all if you cant beat them

Hello again Russell, sorry to be familiar, but I'm a tad suprised that you don't believe me to be the real Dean Prosser.

My personal details appear to have been posted by every man and his dog, so here goes by way of I.D:-

Dean Prosser, 31/03/66, Maidstone, CEO Nightingales 24/7, married to Lilibeth, son of Pam & John, brother of Karen, father of Samuel & Lucie-Victoria.

The truth is Russell, that I am convinced that I have enormous evidence to attack GFM legally. Not with regard to multiple entries, despite your Sherlock work which proves systematic and global cheating. We (inadvertently cheated, hence the reason for our mass withdrawal) but for breaches of the DATA Protection Act and, I am convinced that employees of GFM are commercially involved with the leading mini-leagues. I have the privilege of access to a Company Solicitor and I am toying as to whether I can be bothered to pursue GFM, albeit I have the right raging with them. How would you feel, if your wife was continually receiving abusive/threatening calls, weeks after having been removed from the game? She's a nurse, she has to get up for a long day at 6, why should she suffer abuse at 2? I have to admit, I assumed the culprit to be you, and I had even bothered to find out where you lived! I do have something of a temper!! Fact is, I have concrete evidence of GFM leaking our details.

From my perspective, I've played a lot of cricket in my life, but I'm proud to confirm that I've walked whenever I've edged it (an all too frequent event) and, despite the fact that my family name will,unfortunately, be synonomous with cheating, I am happy to offer you my support v the cheats, in any way I can.

I've been a committed and enthusiastic participator in fantasy sports, dating back to the mid-nineties, my first prize was manager of the month in the telegraph September 1997, only notable for the fact that I received my cheque from Bergkamp. I will continue to compete when I get the time, and can only hope that the crap my family has had to put up with, diminishes over time.

Well this is interesting. For what its worth Dean I was in private conversation with another member of this forum earlier today. I mentioned that I do believe this to be you but like I said it would show naivity to trust it publically. That member can publically clarify that if they would like to.
I am on my phone (tapatalk) currently so can't address each of you points as it does not allow me reference to your previous post. I will do that when I get to a computer.
I would however like to say that I have not made any calls to any of your family. Your business website was posted on another fantasy football forum site, I then copied it to this one (to show the connections to all the said names) which I apologise for if this was the reason, as you know it has your details on it, surely that is down to the owner of the website (you?) as far as data protection goes? It could be absolutely anyone being made so public, not sure why you would think that would have anything to do with GFM though?
I think its common knowledge on here that I am in Crawley, mainly due to their current success. You're more than welcome to come down so we can discuss matters. I have nothing against you personally despite the content of some of my posts. I am willing to aid you if you were to take any action against the game providers, I have a lot of information now both made public and in private that may be of use to you.
Feel free to pm me if you would like to. I'm not too sure this conversation is practical for public forum eyes.

Russ

Hi Dean, welcome to FISO. I just googled Nightingales 24 7, I found out in less than a second your syndicates details including mobile phone numbers, I don't think GFM released the personal details.

I can 100% assure you thet GFM are in no way connected to the leading mini leagues.

You are obviously well read by the way you write, you knew you were cheating from the minute you read the rules of how to play the game and entered teams in family names. You were rightly removed from the game. Your offer in helping Chuck v the cheats made me spit my beer out as I read it.

Hello Elkmaster

I thank you for welcoming me to FISO, and for considering me well read.

I can't, unfortunately, reciprocate, because you obviously have struggled to properly read what I wrote, so I am guessing the works of Dante, Dickens or Marlow might prove beyond you.

As I took pains to explain, I didn't properly read the T & C 's (as is often the case with me, I messed up TFF December by assuming it finished 31/12) in the Mail, but once GFM pointed them out, we withdrew from the game. Had we wanted to prolong our 'cheating', all we had to do was mail them them back, which we collectively chose not to do.

It will always be the case, that bigots will consider us guilty whatever I may post. I expected that, and I'm currently irritating myself for taking the first ounce of bait thrown out to me.

However, you are such a leading authority on all things GFM, that you can 100% confirm that they are in no way connected to the leading mini-leagues? How come??

I have categoric and irrefutable evidence that they have seriously breached the DATA PROTECTION ACT, a heinous crime for a limited Company, and I am still deciding what to do about it - my prerogative methinks. Incidentally, nowt to do with our personal mobile numbers which, as you rightly point out are in the public domain via our Company website.
