Has anyone purchased images from LO?

I have been finding many copied of a certain image of mine in a watermakred version from LO.  I have also been finding many versions of this same image with the same file name as the watermarked one, so I wonder if people really purchased this image (I sold it four times there) or if they removed the watermark.

All these suspicious copies, as well as the watermarked ones, are named

If anyone purchased images in LO, maybe you can help me know if all their files had that name format.

I had it removed from Photobucket once.   

The real problem is not being able to tell legal buyers from illegal ones.  That's why I ask for the filename - if the sold image has a different filename code, it becomes evident that the non-watermarked ones are also stolen - and LO idiot watermark was so easy to remove.

Thanks, Miklav.  So it seems I have evidence it is the edited watermarked version. Oh well. 

Hey, if you're going to steal something you need to make sure nobody else steals it, right?

Maybe she clipped it from a legit buyer.  I mean once a real buyer puts OUR legally purchased unwatermarked photos on THEIR website, its up for grabs for the whole world to right click.... sad but true.

Hi!
I reported it as a copyright violation on the site and referred them to this thread.

I remember buying one of the peaches shots of Karin (Karimala) at LO in large size and I guess it had the same format. Not sure since my backups are now 9,000km away. At Pixart: I would never put a large size bought image online at full size. I used that one to crop out banners and graphic elements to keep the same mood and colors. The customer never had the original of Karin. A buyer has no interest in divulging the image he bought: it would only feed his competition.

But I have the sizzling peaches. 
I didn't know you were still lurking around here.
