they thought they’d steal a couple of them and pass them off as their own.
Another escort was good enough to call me earlier this afternoon to inform me that another BBW Black escort who, I assume, thought she looked enough like me to deceive her clients, stole a couple of my pics from my website and passed them off as her. It seems she’s touring in Ireland and her profile is on Escort Ireland and while one of the pics on her profile was a full facial pic (I’m assuming it’s her, she may well have stolen that as well, who knows), she stole one of my pics in my corset with my arse from the facesitting gallery, and also the pic in the first gallery showing me lying on my side on the bed with just my legs in my killer heels, to make up the rest of her profile.
The lady who called me knows that I have no plans to visit Ireland, nor will I ever make plans to, so she thought it was a bit strange seeing my pictures on an Irish escort directory and thought she might check, just in case I changed my mind. She asked me if I was in Ireland, I told her not on your life, why do you ask. She told me about the pics. I had to go on to the site to see for myself and sure enough, there’s no mistaking my bountiful booty on display in the directory; apparently it’s on tour in Wicklow.
To their credit I called and spoke to the webmaster and he removed the pictures there and then. He then went on to remove the whole profile. I already have my own profile on their fledgling sister site, Escort England, which he uploaded himself, so he remembers my facesitting picture. Ironically I did a Tineye search of my images yesterday, just to make sure that my pics aren’t anywhere they’re not supposed to be, but nothing came up (whilst I’ve never had my pics nicked before, I have in the past found them on obscure foreign forums). But judging by the date this thieving escort is touring, she started today, which meant she probably either put the profile up last night or this morning. I’ve been told that if you’re touring Ireland, Escort Ireland is the place to advertise, otherwise you’re stuffed. Whilst I do feel a pang of guilt at torpedoing this lady’s chances of making a living on tour, she’s not going to do it at my expense. I must get into the habit of doing a Tineye and Copyscape search more frequently, both for my personal site and for SAAFE.
Unfortunately it happens all the time in this industry. Lazy escorts new to the business can’t be arsed to come up with their own words when constructing their website, so they steal swathes of paragraphs, or in some cases like Warrior Amy, the whole site, and copy and paste it on to their site. She has Copyscape on her site and periodically checks if her text comes up anywhere, that’s how she found out. I also remember when SJ had her pics stolen on a couple of occcassions; in one case it was an eagle-eyed client who knew SJ and informed her, this escort was in Canada and she actually had reviews saying she looked like “her pics”. I guess it was inevitable that it happened to me sooner or later, but to be honest I was never so egotistical to think that it would. I always thought, “who’d want to steal my pics?” Another BBW Black escort, that’s who,lol.
With the theft of SAAFE to put on to Twitter, I can understand to a point why the escort responsible thought she was doing good putting it on there, so it can have a farther-reaching audience. I understand but as she didn’t ask permission it’s still theft any way you look at it. But to steal another escort’s photos and pass them off as you is deceiving the clients that come to see you, their custom being based on the pictures they’ve seen.
….I emailed my webmistress earlier to ask if she could water-mark my pics and she’s just written back. She was wetting herself laughing, saying of all the escorts to steal pics from, she stole from me. And the escort who called me knew immediately the pics were of me, she said she knew that bottom anywhere,lol. Yeah, bad move, luv.
Note to thieving escorts who think it’s a good idea to steal other escorts photos. Don’t steal content/pics from escorts who’ve been in this business for a good few years, with assets that are unmisstakably theirs. If the escorts themselves don’t catch you, another eagle-eyed good soul will. Better still, take your own bloomin’ pictures. I used to roll my eyes when prospective clients would ask me on the phone if that was me in the pictures. Now I understand why.
PS. You know what made me laugh the most? Written at the end of the thieving escort’s profile was this sentence: “what you see is most definitely what you get”. Umm, not really.
