Another site stealing images

I was just reading the forums on Etsy (however the images they have of mine are from my Bonanza shop) and found this [URL removed]

wallpart.com is using tons of etsy sellers images, these are taken by the site right from the sellers listings.
Then offer the image for sale.

This is on their site
“WallPart Respect the copyright of others.
This means we don’t steal photos or images that other people share as own.
We don’t have a base of images, and don’t host or store images on the our servers.
Only Wallpart.com helps users to find images that interest for them, the site uses data of the most known third-party search engines.

Anybody know how to stop this? I don’t understand how anyone would want a poster of doll clothes.

Here’s link to page to report a violation to them, Wallpart.com, [URL removed] I searched 2 of my brand names and found many of my listing photos. Only thing about this violation report form, there is space for the page url where image(s) in question are found. Would take a lot of time to re-submit a form for each page where we found our images, though one page url displays several images. We could also use a trash email, like from trashmail.com, if we don’t have an auxiliary email address for spam email.

Don’t know if I’ll bother or not. Afterall, there are scores and oodles of offenders doing these types of things now. We have to choose our battles and not waste time on stuff that we can’t prevent. Thanks for sharing this info though.

Take care,

NO, that is the LAST thing you want to do! It is a phishing site, and if you fill out the form, they will hack you!

I didn’t fill it out, but noticed that a bogus warning about infection popped up afterwards…

EmbellishMart says: August 11, 2016

…even with voice coming over my speakers warning me to follow the instructions because my computer was at risk…

EmbellishMart says: August 11, 2016

…so I already knew that the big companies, including my anti-virus do not contact customers like that, lol…

EmbellishMart says: August 11, 2016

…so I closed my browser, ran my virus software, and all is fine now. Thanks for bringing that up, MissKeech!

Wow, that is CRAZY! They have 15 of mine up there also!

They have a facebook page also, doesn’t show the images, but does have a link to their site. Wonder if we reported them to facebook, if that would do any good? [URL removed]

Should not go to this site at all. It is a phishing site. They get into your computer or get CC info. By filing dmca they can get email and other info.
I got WOT app and they have a dangerous rating and many bad reviews.
