On Twitter, I can see the responses of the Istock staff, but not the comments directed to Istock by other people.
I can only see posts by istock regarding Vetta. I'm not seeing any of the kind of posts I saw before, from istock or to istock. 
Now that is down right weird. I was just looking at it, then closed it out and after you said something Lisa, opened it back up and the post's from the customer was gone. Can the monitor the post on twitter too?
Yeah, I am wondering if they haven't disconnected their link to twitter somehow, except for the sales plugs.
All of this social networking is accomplishing one good thing for consumers and that is if companies don't get their act together and treat their customers and suppliers right, people are going to know about it, and fast.
Yeah its as if they are a cat trying to cover up their sh*t just to cover up the smell. Bottom line is....it still smells.

I'm not going to mess with them...I'm tired of having to do all the work for these places. I have better things to do with my time.

You'd think they would pay attention to what is being said here about the rejects and realize they are losing money. They have rejected a lot of my photos for that also and they are almost always big sellers on the other sites. My last set of 16 rejects were all rejected for "Minimal Commercial Value", and the 60 before that were rejected for "Poor Lighting/Composition" They obviously don't have trained reviewers or they need to have their monitors re calibrated. Uploading to them was one of my biggest mistakes. Now it's just sit and wait for a payout which I might reach in the next two years....it would be quicker if they actually approved the ones that sell. As soon as I hit it I'm out of there.

What are they thinking??? I'm beginning to think they are trying to show a loss to save on taxes rather than a profit.

That's no problem. You did seem to be questioning the veracity of what people had said on that site when you said: "I don't understand how it's possible that iStock supposedly paid back some scammed victims' money directly."
I see. Again, English isn't my native tongue so sometimes during my in-brain-translation-process some parts may be left out, so I assume you'd understand what I'm saying but in fact I didn't even write it... 
What I originally was wondering about is that iStock would even offer to pay back that money right from the beginning without filing a claim/complaint with the credit company in question.
Not to sound rude but people could file a complaint with their credit card company and get their money back this way anyway, then on top of that they call iStock who would then also send them another check for the same fraudulent amount.
That's what I was surprised about. Usually it takes several days/weeks to investigate such matters on the CC side at least.
Of course it's good that the fraud victims get their hard earned money back, don't get me wrong.
The money that is refunded is credited back to the credit card company which holds their account. They don't write out a check to the person.

It's so weird. When I read that announcement of the office shutting down over the holidays I had a premonition that the site was going to malfunction. Never would have predicted to this extent though. Every day brings something new.
If this continues....we'll all need to be put on antidepressants.
Maybe that's what all the happy talk crowd at IS has been taking all these years- " Woo Yay " brand antidepressants! ( And they are made by a company that H&F has a big stake in!) The conspiracy idea could really go to a whole new level...
ROFL!!!!!

Doesn't everyone just dread the New Year. Just wonder what disaster's are going to happen New Years Day.
I don't know about NY day, but definitely the first week or two of the New Year things are probably going to be hitting the fan. I both dread it and at the same time would like it to be over with so I can stop being in suspense.
I know with everything going on at iStock, it takes the enjoyment out of microstock. Now it just seems like one of those jobs you dread going to every Monday morning.

Not to mention the current sitemail problem: when you hit 'send mail' you get a 404 message.
I thought I'd suddenly been banned from SM, but it's now been reported on the help forum.
Probably mostly irrelevant to buying/selling, so again, a hiccup, not an 'epic fail'.
It's probably because they are getting bombarded with site mails over all this disastrous current events and the servers can't handle the overload.

I know the stolen credit card that was used at my husbands business was an elderly man's card. When my nephew called this man directly, he said he wondered why his credit card balance was so high. He didn't even know that someone was charging on it, he didn't look to see why it was so high, he just wondered. Then when my nephew contacted the credit card company they told him that he would keep the money because that's what the insurance was for. The business would have never known it was stolen if these people hadn't brought another card it wanting to use it to pay off their balance and he checked the card and found out it was stolen and so was the previous one. These weren't just random people off the street. They were costumers. They used the excuse that an Uncle was helping them out by making their payment and no questions were ask until another card with another name was brought in. When the police were called they wouldn't arrest them because they said that was the responsibility of the state of New York to prosecute and New York won't do it because the crime was committed in the state of Alabama. No wonder they do it, if there is no threat of prosecution.

that reference was in regard to a forum almost two years old. it was discussed on istock and referenced in this thread twice. I don't know if anyone used the precise 800notes link.
You are mis-characterizing. Yes, the first post on the forum was almost two years ago, but, over FOUR PAGES it chronicles multiple instances of fraud at iStock, with a drastic increase in the second second half of this year, and the latest entry was a mere 12 hours ago.
Thank you caspixel..

go back a few pages, we've already discussed that....;-)
Whoops sorry must have missed it. I even looked... EDIT: I still don't see reference to the 800notes.com website. That has to do with the customers who's cards were charged by iStock. Sorry if I'm still blind.

Wow Cathy...thanks
According to these people these charges started back on Dec 14th....that's before they went on their glory vacation!!
You know what's really scary about all this? Why couldn't they take our payment information and take that also. Maybe they can't but that sorta concerns me.

When we lived in Texas...I was born there but moved from Illinois.... the die hard northerner's would always tell Texans "If it wasn't for all us da** Yankees all you Texans would be Mexican's" because Texan's always gave northerner's a hard time. Sorry if I offended any one... 
Hilarious! I'm an Illinois transplant in Texas. [/quote] I was a Texas transplant in Illinois then went back to Texas.......then to Alabama. We lived in Lincoln Illinois when in Illinois and in Wylie Texas when in Texas....that's in the Dallas Fort Worth area. What part's are you from?

Here in NYC suburbs of Long Island, people can finally get out to shovel, but I think the LIRR trains are still shut down, so lots of city's workforce, employers and employees alike, couldn't have made it in.
I bundled up around 3AM to get some blizzard shots, and promptly fell off of hidden curb flat onto stomach on the street.
Camera was fine, so it wouldn't have been bad if I had been wearing, instead of holding, my gloves. After a few minutes, I went inside for a bit when I couldn't feel my hand. Then took a bunch of videos starting with me inside, then going out to blizzard. Told myself I was doing it to "tell a story" - but I might have chosen that approach so half of each shoot would be inside.
Alas, shots more personally documentary than anything, since the blizzard thoroughly whipped me around and snowed on lenses despite shielding them with cloth whenever possible.

That's what you call devotion....lol I hate the cold. My poor body just can't take it any more. I've been living in the south for the last 25 years after living up north for many years and the south beats the north any time...other than during the civil war...

I just checked Alamy home page and it has this posted
"Due to severe weather conditions in New York, the US office is closed on Monday December 27th. Please email your requests to [email protected] and we will come back to you as soon as we can. "
That blizzard must really be bad to keep New York shut down.
Seems the airports are/were all closed.
Hopefully all those stranded travelers won't lose their jobs for not showing up at 8AM Monday morning.
