They won't be held responsible, but they sure do want to be paid!

Confused... where did this quote come from?

So, what do you mean with this?
I have foound some images of mine there, are they selling them or do you suggest this is only a scam to receive the money and they don´t even have the images?
Confused on what to do here.

Hi All,

Please look here:

http://www.freeimageworks.com/soccer-player-on-the-street/-
http://www.freeimageworks.com/a-soccer-player-on-the-street/-
http://www.freeimageworks.com/soccer-player/-

Images clearly belong to bowie15 : http://www.123rf.com/profile_bowie15

Was your portfolio compromised as well? They have a "takedown" procedure: http://www.freeimageworks.com/dmca[

But they're selling unlimited downloads too! [url=http://www.freeimageworks.com/signup]http://www.freeimageworks.com/signup

If this isn't illegal, i don't know what is. I think you should check if your images are on that site and get them to remove it.

Best regards,

Alex
for 123RF.com

Thanks for the information Alex - much appreciated. But how can I check if any of mine are there? I tried entering keywords for some areas of my port but couldn't find anything to click on to activate the search. Do you have to sign up with them before you can search or am I missing something. Kind regards, David.

alex123rf · « **Reply #7 on:** April 14, 2011, 05:54 »

I just did some searches, quite a number of MSG member's images are there.

to search, just enter the keywords and press the [ ENTER ] key.

Thank you!

Alex.

As soon as I went to that site my computer started downloading something. I don't know what but the only way to stop it was to quit Firefox. I don't think I'll be going back.

Kenny · « **Reply #9 on:** April 14, 2011, 11:44 »

Anyone know how they got the images?

I noticed some are free and others require a fee of $4.95. Here's a couple freebies.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's mainly a phishing site - I clicked on a Paypal logo and Noscript blocked a cross-site script.
Be very wary anyone visiting!

I've reported it to Paypal anyway, if there's any naughty business, they should be able to deal with it.

lisafx · « **Reply #11 on:** April 14, 2011, 14:13 »

Their "collection" is very limited. They had a couple of my images. I sent a DMCA notice. I am going to be really pissed if this is a phishing site and they now have my contact info

No, their site just sends you round in circles now! I sent an email to abuse@

I found some of my images free to download on http://www.freeimageworks.com via Google images. Some of my images they even charge for. I wrote them to take them down, before I saw this thread - so far no response. Is there any point in reporting them to paypal for running a fraudulant business? What other other things can be done? This is much more critical than finding images in torrents. They charge for stolen property and misleads the buyer to believe he is not doing anything illigal.
