alliemadison12 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 It’s a Monday and I think you all would like a good laugh.Once in a while, I get messages from other people on the site warning me that someone is imitating my gigs and stealing my photos. Generally I report them to Fiverr, but when I found this gig where I can get 3 photos of myself, I couldn’t resist having some fun with $5.Would this person order my gig and resell it? How would they make money from it? Would they use a different model, or would they simply white out text from a photo I already took?I ordered the gig and requested for this seller using my image to take a photo saying “Hi Allie, I’m you.” I couldn’t come up with anything wittier at the time. Apparently this $5 photo of me would be delivered within 24 hours. My own $5 gig has a deadline of a week with fast delivery costing extra.I was very disappointed when the seller missed the deadline, but before I could cancel, this seller delivered blank and addressed me as “sir.” This scammer has no idea I am the girl in his/her gig!What a shame. I don’t think I will ever find out what the action plan was for delivery as this appears to be a flat out scam, but I will keep you all updated.P.S. Don’t judge me for my messages saying I wish I looked like her (me.) I’m just being silly, not conceited 😛Also: On my end, the photos look super zoomed in. Are they clickable? Any tips of how to post properly sized photos? I wish you could all see the screen shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alliemadison12 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Another person stole a photo from my portfolio and is selling photos of me. I bought the gig, of course, and was told to pay another $5. For a photo of myself.The spammers here aren’t the brightest :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhwoolz Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 How ridiculous. What makes me sad is that there are probably some people out there who fall for scammers like these. I’m glad you were able to have a bit of fun with them though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonthaunt Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 The part where you wrote “Hi Allie, I’m you” is funnier than you think. Have you heard of the “I’m not a witch. I’m you” ad campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
