Massive FRAUD

Post by Olivier »

Hello,

I have been in this hobby for almost 15 years but here is a new one. A Rubberslug gallery has just appeared with only cels that belong to me. The person who set up this gallery even called it using my name : http://olivier.rubberslug.com

I don't normally show these cels in my ONLY Rubberslug gallery, which is http://xseiya.rubberslug.com
I only show these on my japanese website. Obviously some b****** just took the pictures on the Japanese website and made a Rubberslug gallery out of these.
I contacted the Rubberslug owner but he/she hasn't replied yet. This is really annoying.
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know about this. It doesn't really matter that the images are visible on a Rubberslug gallery (I don't care as long as my cels remain in my celbook!), only I want to make sure this crook won't make money by selling cels he/she doesn't own. For those who are not familiar with Saint Seiya, these happen to be quite valuable.

If this jerk is focusing on your ID, it may be urgent to renew your current passwords by including encryption method.
ID usurpation is unfortunaly with the cellphone robbery one of the most increasing claim. Good luck.

He did not steal my ID and password. He just used "olivier" as the gallery name in "olivier.rubberslug.com".
Anyway, the gallery has been deleted... for now.

Yeah, good to hear that admin cleaned up this, but hell where is the motivation to harass some collector by duplicating his collectibles??
It may be interesting for Olivier to check some selling places such as Yahoo on the list of forgery/duplicated items. Maybe a monkey business trial using his own artwork? :evil:

Quite surprising and interesting (apologies, not pleasant for sure for the copycated person but on a more "historical" aspect).
Does anyone ever heard about ID violation for cels business? That's frightening :?
