Dave can you put a link in for that google picture search thingy please, I can't remember for the life of me what it's called.

I don't have any that have pinched my work that I've found yet and I've also spent the last wee while watermarking all my pics for my new web site that Dan's doing, but one of my main competitors has a site passing off work from all sorts of places as his own!

Mine was water marked, but they cropped it out ffs.

I have a few that have pinched my pics.

One was a polish guy on Gumtree who stole my pics AND MY NAME which I think is rather ironic as my name is a very Scottish phrase but that was nipped in the bud.

The other guy is local to me. He knows who he is & has tread on my toes one too many times for different things. He's used my pics on Gumtree also but again, I'll sort that one out in good time. Not naming though!

Just had a look at that link, thought it was Norwegian, but it's Danish, intresting to see it's a Lithuanian outfit, noticing more cars with LT on plates here every day. We had our name sort of nicked 2 years ago, we're Flisemannen (The Tile Man)and some toenail opened Flisemann (Tile Man), and had accounts where we did, boss got a few bills for his materials, had a debt companies phoning, disgruntled customers phoning, all sorts of things going on, in the end Flisemann went belly up and since then we've gone A.S (ltd) now our name and any variation is protected.

Dave I totally understand how miffed you must be with scum stealing your images but it must be comforting to know there are very few people who can produce work to your standard ,dont let it get you down these chancers will never be in your league

I know what the problem Dave, if you google 'tiler' you're right at the top. You need to get your website pushed further down the ranks so people can't find it so easily, problem solved!!:lol:
