Have you signed with them or are you another victim of copyright violation ? Wouldn't be a surprised coming from them...

I've got 300 their, with my name on them but also as agency Kalium. Is that another name for Alamy?
Or more likely Veer - we discussed this 18 months ago.

Never heard about them, not with Alamy, but things chnage quickly in this world...

Here is an old post about partnerships:

Write to them and ask. They are a reputable agency and I'm sure they'll get back to you.

EDIT:
Just glanced through the old post with the list of microstock partner programs and found this:

11-16-12 - Added Agefotostock/Kalium/Potassium to Veer

So If you're with Veer that could be why your photos are there.

I believe that Kalium is the name for the 123rf collection on Agefotostock.

Veer seems more likely. It matches the sort of numbers I have on Veer, I've got an awful lot more files on 123.

Me too, it's Veer, not 123RF.

I once, for a short period contributed to Zonar, but I couldnt make had of tails of the way they distributed my images.
I got the feeling that it was all about signing people in and then restribute in all kinds of obsure ways.
Middlemen and middlemens middlemen.

And therefore I stopped, I dont like all these vulptures preying on my content.
Also I worry about the competition to my primary outlets.
