This is upsetting, but a big reminder that this is a public forum. What you post here is available to the entire world, friends and crooks alike.

Thank goodness the images were watermarked. I'm sure the owners of these genuine bags would be furious once they find out. It is so not right. Do you suppose it is an RSS feed? I don't know how it works exactly, but everytime that replica page is accessed, it pulls up the most current page from the original site (tPF). Can someone figure this one out?

This sort of hijacking of pics happens, even within the tPF community, where members' watermarked pics of genuine and/or inspired bags are being re-used by other posters inappropriately to illustrate details, or unfortunately criticized on a fake bag thread, or placed in a thread unbeknownst to the owner of the bag. I've seen it a few times on tPF and other forums and it just doesn't feel right either.
