Fraud Alert - Shakuntala Devi (photo thief)

[edtek]

Hi, i know i dont post here often but i would like to warn some photographers here that this person likes to steal others work and claim it as their own!
im sure some of you can recognize some of photos on here and know for a fact its not hers and my friend Pablo Platon III was one of the victims!

Here is where she took credit with her watermark!

everytime someone comments on her page saying that not her photots is either blocked or deleted and its a shame that it could be anyone photos that she takes!

Im trying to give everyone a heads up because she just doesnt seems to stop and just keeps posting others work!

Report them to Stop Stealing Photos -- If it's a legit problem, that guy/girl (I think it's a chick) will blow it up big time, and that person will get a lot more negative attention than they were expecting...

Your friend could request Google take the image down; a lawyer would be very beneficial in this.

Some people have no integrity at all and simply just don't care. IMO there is no better pride in something we create our selfs, even if it's not great, it is still a great feeling when it's your very own work. I would sue for every penny I could get just for the point of it.

I don't even know how someone could proudly post something that isn't theirs.

 

[edtek]

the things that gets me is that she has people so gullible and backing her! its sickening!

 

[tecboy]

She is delusional and narcissistic. Her name is derived from a famous woman. Google search it.
