This girl stole my photos!!!
I can't believe it, I got a message the other day from a random person I talk to online, saying that someone might be using my photos. Check this out: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu … 1093062046 I can't believe it! She said she hates "people that use other people! UGH! I work part time as a model.. not as cool as it sounds, but it pays for school though" She made up a fake agency She goes to a school in the same city I live in, weird! What should I do? Sep 25 05 08:25 am Link The editor of myspace will delete the account. just write to the editor and they will remove the profile. Sep 25 05 08:28 am Link Contact myspace and they will take care of it. They probably won't delete the account but the pictures will be removed.

Sep 25 05 08:30 am Link you can put marks on your photos. so if anyone uses them you can get a list of where your images are at. This is really simple. Sep 25 05 08:34 am Link Myspace will delete the imposter account if you just send them a picture of yourself holding up a myspace sign. Just scribble "my space" on a piece of paper and hold it in front of yourself in a photo and send it to them. If they recognise it's you they will delete the imposter. Assuming you are on myspace as well. Sep 25 05 08:36 am Link orinxpress wrote: That's a great idea (to take a photo of myself with a myspace sign).

Plus, I'd post bulletins on my space that she's a FRAUD & send the same message to many in her friends list on there. And if you are on other modeling sites, I post the same bulletins on their forums too. Fraud is fraud & impersonating someone is a serious offense. To protect yourself, perhaps you may want to think about contacting the local police & filing an official complaint. That way, if she ever does more, at least there is a record that you tried to fix the problem within your legal limits. Above all, be & stay safe, Blessings, Ayla Sep 25 05 08:38 am Link Sharon Nadac wrote: That is the myspace way of proving your identity. I can't take credit for it. The imposter will have a hard time duplicating that proof. Sep 25 05 08:42 am Link Just for fun, I would write on the sign, "Dear myspace: Katie is a LIAR." Sep 25 05 12:15 pm Link Wow... I guess our late night dinner date is cancelled then? j/k Sep 25 05 06:45 pm Link I had that happen with Yahoo personals. YES, someone was running my pictures to try and meet women. I contacted Yahoo and had to fax a copy of my drivers license (I blacked out everything but my name on the copy) so they new I was the actual person in the photos. Sep 25 05 07:18 pm Link Maybe its your long, lost twin sister! ... this has "Disney Movie" written all over it! Sep 28 05 09:13 pm Link Usually, I fax the webhost and/or the site itself, if they share enough contact info, a DMCA-compliant copyright infringement notice. Stuff gets taken down REALLY fast. Here's the template I use: http://www.josienutter.com/thieves.txt But I'm tellin' ya-- as soon as I started watermarking all of my images, this type of crap almost stopped happening completely. Yeah, watermarks "detract from the overall beauty of the image" (blah blah  ) but they do deter people from trying to do things like this (or worse! I found my unmarked photos on an ESCORT SITE once!).Sep 28 05 11:53 pm Link Josie Nutter wrote: perfect example and someone in the many threads on this subject tonight asked why worry, why bother, ... well I think that is why. Sep 28 05 11:58 pm Link OMG I CANT BELIEVE THAT GIRL!! I totally am going to write her a message (i have myspace too) whats a stupid stupid girl! Sep 29 05 12:42 am Link No one ever tries to be me  Sep 29 05 01:47 am Link send email here http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseac … E800514546 Sep 29 05 01:57 am Link Sharon, That happens to me a lot. Don't know why. I finally just started to look at it as flattery. I guess they like my look. LOL Stuff like that is going to happen on the web. My face was even a Swedish flight attendent one time. You'd think they would be better looking than me, huh? Sep 29 05 03:26 pm Link Damnit, her account was deleted and before she added me as a friend so I could publically humiliate her. Ah well, I'm glad to see that's been taken care of. Sep 29 05 03:32 pm Link |
