What is it with thieving stealing wahms?
sorry but everyone who has stolen from me has been a wahm.
I have print screen of the stolen image on the thief's site and it matches one on my site that I put up going on 2 years ago!
I won't out the person by name... yet
but you can read all my vent at
http://www.taraburner.com/blog/business/wahms-who-steal-images-from-web-sites.html
or here you go:
Really do people not think the original owners will find out or what?
This morning I saw an ad posted on a group boasting about their grand opening so naturally I went to check it out and lo and behold an image from Affordable Mineral Makeup was found on their site.
They added text over it and cropped it but there’s no mistaking the background and the containers as being from Affordable Mineral Makeup.
I won’t ‘out’ the person on this blog yet, I did email her along w/the group owner, along with the hosting company and her tech people as well.
Why is it so damn difficult for people to take their own images and represent themselves as honest people rather than lying ***** *** thieves?
We’ll see if she acts accordingly and removes stolen image within 48 hours or if I will have to proceed legally against her. And, I will…
Seriously, what is it with all these WAHMS (and everyone who has stolen images/content from Affordable Mineral Makeup has been a wahm, thus the mention of them here) who think they can just go and steal images, content, etc. That just shows they’re hobbyist, wanna be’s who lack originality, integrity. I’ve owned this company for almost 2 years now and have built my reputation and all these wanna be’s who steal from me and think it’s ok are just unreal.
So, we wait for 48 hours and if my stolen image isn’t removed my lawyer gets to have fun… again!

Sorry Tara, I had to edit a few words from your post. I don't mind you posting your frustrations, and I agree that what this person did was not appropriate, but I honestly don't want offensive language on the forum.
I hope that this person removes that image and gets thier own. I also hope that you don't have to deal with them ever again! |

oh she removed it and claimed stupidity
claimed she didn't know it was wrong to steal, take others images and her excuses:
she doesnt have a digital camera so all the images on her site were taken
as well as she didn't know it was wrong
and she's new to business
ummm YEA OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!
my image is down and removed but when will people learn????

Not to mention people who steal trademark pending company names and try to pose as them
as you can see from this weekends blog!
