Hi guys,
While browsing through the posts in photography section, I chanced upon the following picture
Seems like a normal selfie with supposedly a cool-sounding caption by a girl. Right?
But look a little more carefully and you'll realize that this was posted by this guy named Istiaq Ahmed from Bangladesh. https://steemit.com/@istiaq69 and not the girl in the picture.
Clearly not everyone paid attention to that little detail, some even upvoted and commented upon her beauty as well.
Not really surprising or alarming, right?
But when I saw this guy's profile and checked the posts made by him, it turned out that he's a fraud/imposter/creep who is constantly posting pictures of others as his own pictures. He's even stealing girl's pictures from facebook and posting them as his own content. Check out the following picture
Again, a pretty girl posing for a photographer, and it is titled as "my photography". But this guy is so dumb that he forgot to remove the photographer's signature from the photo which reads as "Anik Chowdhury Photography" and these two guys are not the same. The original photographer's FB profile is here https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1889629167955943&set=pb.100007266340352.-2207520000.1501303403.&type=3&theater
and then there are pictures with caption like this
Clearly this guy has been stealing pictures of unsuspecting girls from facebook/elsewhere on the internet and posting here to make some quick bucks.
His profile seems to be full of posts like this. I flagged his profile in the morning but nothing seems to have happened till now. So posting it here so that you can flag this account and get it removed from here as what he is doing not just immoral but criminal as well!
Here's the link to his profile once again, https://steemit.com/@istiaq69
thank you

Great detective work Sunil.
Thanks. Bond is my second name.
Thank for highlighting it bro, hope @steemcleaners can help. Also, I'm going to flag few posts here, it seems either they are bots or not even reading the content. Also stop using introduceyourself tag on every post.
Yeah! I am surprised how people don't even bother to read before commenting. They are either bots or human beings working like robot, copy pasting stuff to gain followers!
thank you for the work you have just done. it is important that the right people get credit for their hardwork and people stealing and posting other people's work is shameful and deceitful.
Absolutely agree with you.

Thanks man... The same thing just happenned to me now. There was a new account where the person posted pictures of the indian model Ruhani Sharma claiming it was HER. Its so unfortunate because I tried warning the people down in the comments. She received such positive feedback and I was like that is completely unnaceptable. Do you know to to report an account? thanks man. Her profile is (collegegirl)
Flag the post

Will flag it as well. Btw, I went through your profile and found some interesting posts there. Now following you. @sunil.gupta

Damn that sucks so much.
Thanks for sharing. He will probably get downvoted
Yep... Hopefully steemit guards eJll take action against him.
send it to @steemcleaners, I am getting rather annoyed seeing theft and scammery here :(
Someone already reported to them
@sunil.gupta
Welcome to Steem :) Have fun in this Unique place!
Thanks :)
WHAT??? these aren't his lezbo lovers??? Come again, your claiming that someone is using the Internet unethically??? No way! Don't let scum like that ruin your day, one day they will reap what they sow...
Welcome sunil.gupta, I hope you enjoy it here! This is a great place for a multitude of reasons; I’m sure you’ll find out plenty of your own.
I am going to follow you and ask that in return your follow me. But take note, this type of following is almost a moot point. After all, wouldn’t you rather be following people with similar interests? OR following people whom are like minded?
Just my two cents, but welcome all the same. At my site, @carltong; I have blogs on scams, easy to use faucets, and more. I don’t link to any of these in this letter, because I want to genuinely welcome you to Steemit. It’s that great an invention, lol.
Here is my best advice for you:
”If it seems to good to be true, then it’s NOT true.”
I lost over $1000 at BitcoinsBrain, and almost got taken by FexFund; I was given this advice once; “be nice to everyone and don’t trust anyone”.
Whatever the case, WELCOME HERE. Say hi once in a while and I’ll try to do the same.
Enjoy,
@carltong
Welcome :)
ew. gross. Thanks for pointing this out.
The pleasure is all mine.
Regards @sunil.gupta
His reputation is reduced dramatically and I flagged those posts you pointed out. I also left him the reason why I did this.
:)
Let's hope he learns a lesson and stops doing that.
It is completely not cool to rip off photos of girls and pretend that they are his. Really scummy behavior.
Absolutely . Hope he pays for that.
Wow - good eye.....I have def. noticed that 'pretty-girl-posts' get the highest earnings on Steemit. It is one of the most discouraging things about this place (the abuse). I am going to give it another 10 days then back off.
Unfortunately that is how the world works, but hang on and keep an eye , there's se wonderful people here sharing amazing content.
Creeper alert . It takes all kinds .
Congratulations @sunil.gupta!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following categories:
Wow! I didn't see that coming. Thanks ☺️
Thanks for trying to keep steemit a safe place and protecting people's identities. Social media needs more people like you!
Thanks for the kind words @themessup ☺️
Thank you for calling out this creep!
Pleasure was all mine! :)
Really now? Who would do that, I don't get some people... Good job noticing that fellow Steemian!
Thanks @meanmommy33! I like your profile and following you as well :)
Seen a few of these recently.
Being an amateur photographer it really upsets me to see other peoples pictures and work being stolen.
IT IS THEFT. Plain and simple. Stealing others creative works is a CRIME...
If any of my photos are posted on here they will be watermarked for sure. Protect yourself always...especially in the creative world of photography or any other creative activities.
nice introuction. Followed. Follow me back 😘
Get him!
Welcome to Steemit Sunil.gupta !! Glad to see more people like you - here joining Steemit! Nice post, i will follow your account, please follow me ...
