Just accepted a game from Open Invites. When I go to move in that game, the starting "position" is already about 35 moves in, and I'm down an exchange and 2 pawns! I deleted the game, contacted my "opponent", told him what I thought of his little trick, and that I was reporting him to Russ, whom I hope will kick this joker off the site.

set games are unrated...so no damage would have been done to your Rating.
You can see that there is a set game by the message at the offer. when you click the accept 😉
Set games can be a good way to study a specific ituation or to redo a game after timeout, just to see who wins.

How is this possible? I thought your opponent couldn't move until you do. There must be a software fix for this kind of cheating.

This isn't cheating. A set position is for studying a certain kind of situation.

Why is that, how do we keep it from happening too much. We are talking about chess at work or red hot pawn, a place that doesn't even even know it's own name.

Is there any way you can show the position? All we know about it is the material discrepancy, which may or may not have anything to do with the evaluation of the position at that point in time.

You don't check the details of the games you accept? Whose fault is that? 😛
