Title: Scratching my head over thinkstock...
Post by: Leo on April 23, 2015, 01:55

I found my portfolio active here...

It says by getty, but I deactivated my account on istock a while ago.

So what is happening here? Where are these coming from?

Wow, I must have a really big payout waiting for me :D

Stockxpert likely since labeled Collection:Hemera, even though they closed , you can must still request payment thru them.

It says on the image link the that it was provided by Hemera and that 1920 of your images are on Thinkstock

If you know who Hemera are then that is who is putting your photos up for sale with Thinkstock.

Getty bought Stockexpert.  Closed it.  Relabeled the collection Hemera.

You need to contact Isotck and have them remove your Hemera collection. There are two on TS: Istock and Hemera. To me that is sleazy that they do that. Most people have long forgotten about StockXpert and when they delete their Istock account Istock keeps whatever images are from StockXpert and keeps selling. You should log into your old StockXpert account as that has a balance of money there owed to you for each month's of sales.
