how can trustpilot still give a bankrupt company a rating of 8.5!!!!
By Rajat
Mike wrote an email to everyone stating that he had spent the prize money. He should be locked up!

In week 14 of the 2014 NFL season the commissioner sends out an email to everyone stating that he doesn't have the money to pay out all the prizes and Phenoms will be shutting down. What a scam. Clearly he had been planning this all along, probably walked away with a couple million in the process. Do not trust this website or Mike Zangrilli.

Terrible company. Never again. Oh ya there shut down. Completely unprofessional.

I thought the certifications on this company's website might actually mean something, like that I wouldn't be scammed out of the almost $500 I gave them, and even worse, the countless hours I spent managing my fantasy football teams this season, thinking I was actually competing for a prize when I was actually just wasting my time in the most embarrassing way possible. Thanks. Thanks so much.

Owner Mike Zangrilli emailed a notice of his company shutting down and stated he would not be able to honor payment agreements. Said only 20-40% of money would be avaiable. He ended the notice with "I can only ask for your forgiveness". So ultimately no payments will be made and his disappearing act will occur even faster. How could your site rate this owner and company with an 8.5. What a Disgrace!

Horrible league. Confusing platform. Wasnt able to draft and was locked in with mediocre players. When i tried to trade i was denied by the commissioner. Dont waste your money. Find another league.

I would not recommend paying to play this game. Especially if you are accustomed to playing in league's where the teams with the best records make the playoffs. My team had the third best record and fourth highest points scored on the season and didn't make the playoffs. Ridiculous.

Bill, You cite weaker teams making the playoffs, yet the top 4 teams either had higher points scored than your team OR a better record. The Victory Points system awards teams 2 VP for winning their matchup, 2 VP for being the top 4 in scoring for the week, 1 VP for being middle 4, and 0 VP for being bottom 4. It was a really tight race in your league with 6 teams clearly separating themselves from the bottom 6 teams. However, only 4 make the playoffs and your team missed out by just 2 VP. Victory Points rewards teams on a combination of record and points scored. Phenoms does also offer leagues where it's based only on record. It's likely that I'll also offer leagues where 6 of 12 teams make the playoffs, which would get you in as well.
