Hey Ladies. Please see page 62 of the "Report this Michael Kors " thread and see the post by 'myvillarreal26' These creeps are STEALING our photos from the TPF, to sell bags on facebook! How creepy is that?? These crooks will stop at nothing to rip people off! They most likely don't even have the bag in their possession , to sell! The're just flat out stealing money from people, and using OUR photos to do it!! UNREAL!!

I know it's a hassle but we need to start watermaring our photos to prevent these crooks from stealing our pics to rip people off. There is usually a program right in your photo files to watermark your pics. Once you set it up, you don't have to do it again.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME!! I don't want these crooks stealing our pics! Do you??

It just goes to show who reads this forum and you can be sure the counterfeiters check it out too! That's why we can't reveal very much about how we authenticate things. Sad!

I've got to figure out how to do it. I've looked for a file on my laptop but don't see one. I'm not even sure what it would be called. I'm sooooooo technology illiterate!

I uploaded this photo on TPF a few weeks ago and to my surprise I find it on a FB page selling fake Michael Kors bags. Going to definitely start watermarking photos to avoid this in the future.
Here is the screenshot I took on my iPhone.
BTW...I did see other photos from other threads. My hamilton was also on this page.

If you reported them to FB, they probably changed the name & started a new page.

That stinks! Makes it hard for the honest people like me, that promote their eBay stores on facebook! Of course I hate being in the company of all the fakes on eBay too! Hard for anyone to trust these places. What a shame the crooks have to spoil it for the legit people.

Yes, I have had my ebay pics stolen several times. Makes me so mad I turn blue! I flat out contact them and chew them out royal. My main point being that I didn't do all that hard work so THEY could make money! I even ask them how much is my cut for doing all the work for them? lol! Unbelievable! The NERVE of these people! It's not even the same bag they are selling, it's MINE!! They may have one just like it, but what about condition?? People are so lazy these days. For every listing I do, I have to take at least 50 photos of each bag and then sort out the best to use in my listings.. Is a very time consuming tedious job! And then they just go ahead and steal them?? Infuriates me. I found a way to lock them now so it hasn't happened for awhile, but they can still steal them if they really try. .

Are all those bags yours in the pics? Or just the Grayson, as if that isn't enough!
