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
LO-cartoon_sun_gradient_color-50758.jpg

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

bittersweet:
I entered the filename in Google (regular search, not image). It returned a lot of results, and the first page has someone allowing downloads of the UNwatermarked version from her Photobucket account.

madelaide:
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.

no, the format was different:
LuckyOliver-373059-blog-to_fly.jpg
LuckyOliver-1134495-medium-clown.jpg

i.e. "LuckyOliver-" + image_id + size + title .jph

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