FRAUD ALERT

topic posted Mon, October 10, 2005 - 8:15 PM by  Unsubscribed
This person is OUTRIGHT copying ebay artist and reselling their work.

I recognized in this store works of FIDO STUDIO and an exact duplicate copy of one of Lunagraphica's ACEO cards El Pescado turned into a giant oil painting. blatant copying "verbatim"

search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrtsZ...Z9k9artwork

I mean EXACTLY duplicate

    Eww what a dispicable person!
    I recognize some other ebay artist's work being sold by this person too!!

    If anyone here sees your work being stolen, take advantage of ebay's "VeRo" (verified rights owner) program and report the copycat. Vero reports usually result in the auction being taken down quickly. Multiple reports on one seller will get their account suspended.

      i contacted the artist that i recognized...if you recognize artist PLEASE do them a favor and contact them with the item number or link so they can file charges. They copied Lauras INCLUDING her signature and then signed it someone else name while her sig was still on there obviously not too bright.

        His stuff is gone, I am so glad. He copied
        so many artists. I hope everyone got to report
        before he left.

            I find it amazing (and sad!) that ebay will tolerate this. If nothing else, the knockoffs can interfere with sales by legitimate artists, thereby resulting in lower FVFs for ebay. You'd think they'd care from that standpoint, if for no other reason.

            I just joined this tribe! :) Sorry it took me a while, Tamu... I lost the link! : P
