Dude, there are millions of guys out there that WANT women to think that YOUR ABs/Pec/Etc are theirs.. Hahahaha!  But it's only the loser guys that have to impersonate you!  Remember that no one steals the profile of ugly guys (or gals) wink

Are you saying that there is someone else on Model Mayhem claiming to be you?  Please use the contact-a-mod form to let us know if that is the case.

I recommend two things to keep people from stealing photos online:

1) watermarks
2) low res/small size

My profile always gets stolen on myspace, but never on Model Mayhem! At least, not yet. =/

Take it as a compliment.

Not yet (that I know of) on Model Mayhem..but then that person would have to be pretty stupid as I'm easily found throughout this site.

But, on myspace...yeah more times than I can count. I have been forced to come to where  I don't care for it anymore. Impossible to police once it hits the net.

My friend had her profile stolen on Myspace. I don't belong to that site anymore. How do you find out if your profile's been stolen on MM? Do you just have to come across it?

Do you mean your images were stolen or that your profile was logged in to by another person?

I've never had either one happen to me, but hey...

fell victim to a "phishing" program (hack) on myspace one time; amazing how clever some of those things are disguised now ...

(*sigh*)

I'd like to know exactly what the OP means by "Stolen."  Does he mean that he is being impersonated or that someone hacked into his profile and then took over his identity?
