Hello my dear Steemians,
Today I wanted to do a little reminder for everything who are active on Steem and not checking anything on clone platforms like Hive and Blurt.
If you remember in the past there were many posts about revealing the users who were abusing the Identity of others and cloning them, taking the identity of users and copying, pasting them as the original users and cashing out for the creativity of others doing nothing for it.
The latest example was @ngoenyi who found her name in Hive, the user created the account in June and started to pretend to be @ngoenyi. Luckily she noticed in time and the account was reported by @the-gorilla and now in blacklist
Also, I wanted to share here the link to Hivewatcher's discord just in case you found that someone is stolen your account and you need help to deal with it on Hive:
https://hive.blog/hive-174301/@hivewatcher/r8dhsr
But also here is the Form to report Abusers:
https://hivewatchers.com/reports/new
Here is the endless list of blacklisted users on Hive, you can check if any account in the blacklist
https://spaminator.me/api/bl/all.txt
Do not forget to check Blurt, this is another identical platform and Fraudsters are also using this one to get rewards with Identity and Plagiarism Frauds
https://blurt.blog/hot/blurtart
Just put your name and see if there is an account with such name.
The best thing is create an account with your account name that you have on Steem on both Hive and BLurt this way you will reserve the name and nobody can use it and pretend to be you.
Otherwise now @ngoenyi has a good reputation on Steem but the same name is in Blacklist on Hive and she will never be able to change it.
Greetings friend @stef1
I am glad you have supported friend @ngoenyi with her case on Hive, now more than ever we must be aware of these situations they are creating with identity theft.

Thanks a lot for this information. It is very useful. I will try and create account in blurt if they have not already done so to forestall future occurrences. I don't even care if my username is blacklisted in hive or not. It is not my problem because I have not even dreamed to be there in the first place. I sincerely appreciate @the-gorilla who acted with urgency. Thanks once more dear @stef1, I am grateful

You are welcome and I am glad that everything was stopped at early beginning, that is a horrible feeling of being so powerless to be in such situation. Because you are often involved with newcomers that is another opportunity to share that with newbies :)

Sure my friend. I was really powerless but you all made me strong again.
I will surely share it with newcomers.
I just tried to create account in blurt and it appears they pay for creating account.

When it was created our accounts of the users who were there before were automatically cloned so we had them without doing anything.
I did not know that you should pay to create an account but maybe @the-gorilla knows.

К нам в сообщество пару раз заходил человек, публикующий одно и то же свое творчество в 20 разных мест. Так много у него было энергии зарабатывать.
Пока люди готовы платить за встречу с прекрасным вероятно будут и мошенники, крадущие личности и контент для заработка.
Мы знаем, что заработок в большой степени зависит от наличия аудитории готовой платить, а не только от таланта автора.

He did not allow the wicked people to hit at you and your work, that would have affected numerous steemians badly.

@stef1 I met my stolen artwork done by another artist. That is, he copied my same work and posted it here on steemit because I haven't posted mine yet.
I have mentioned you to see the work and do what is necessary for such act.

Mr. @ezunjoshy Months ago someone cloned my my account in hive and copied almost all my post to hive and was earning heavily.
I didn't even know that until @stef1 called me to it. Now I saw a replica of my work on your blog and called @stef1 to intervene and you said that I'm accusing you falsely when you can't produce the reference of the job.
Why are some Nigerians like this? Where did I go wrong by calling on @stef1?
Do you want to loose your steemit account for not doing the right thing?
Don't I have the right to complain when I sense identity theft or copied artwork?

Read and understand my complain before coming back to reply. Don't call my complain accusations. He copied my art work. He didn't steal my art work and posted. Don't you get it.
Why should I apologize when I'm not wrong for complaining.
Why are you backing him up instead of allowing him to defend himself?
Don't get yourself involved until @stef1 intervene.
Thanks bro. I respect you. I know you well and your works.
Pls step aside. Thank you.

I really want @stef1 to come in cause he has nothing to hide. what you are trying to say is that you are the first person ever to make this drawing and you had no reference? I want you to tell me.
I understand you are new here and you don't understand what's happening.
I'm with @ezunjoshy right now and you ain't replying his comments why would I step aside. You can't ruin his reputation, just tell me you made this drawing with out a reference.

@ngoenyi weldone for finding out soon. I was cloned too in hive months ago. I wonder why internet theft is rampart. Some people are out to steal instead of using their brain to create valid contents too.
I want @the-gorilla to come to my rescue too. They have been on my neck again by stealing same work I did and posting it here before I could.
They shouldn't play with my artworks. It takes me time to create those works.
@stef1 thanks for always helping out with fishing out criminals.

Dude stop this nonsense and check my blog. Please @ngeonyi @the-gorilla this is false,. Please stop doing this.
This is the link to my post and in it are the procedures. If you think I stole them, upload your procedures and your reference. I've done mine do yours. Firstly, I posted this work on Steemit, you haven't.
Secondly, I have my reference, you don't. Yours is inverted, mine isn't. And besides, I'm not even your friend on this platform or any other. Neither have I commented on your work before...

I have progress shots of mine bro. I haven't posted that work here yet. I'm not accusing you of posting my work. I am complaining of you copying my work without permission or referencing me. I took time to do that work.
Go to my blog. See my post. My works usually comes with reference and sometimes with the framed job. Pls don't just get angry with me.
I have the right to complain when I sense fraudulent acts towards my account and works. People are busy cloning and stealing post from this platform daily.
Pls @the-gorilla come and check us out.

At this point, i'm not even understanding you. I've sent you my reference, you've seen the steps. I don't post my reference alongside my drawings, go and check, I only did that a few times in 2020 for Artventure contests.
Could you be kind enough to share your reference too or did you make up the image?
On Steemit complaints like these are very serious and somehow today I happen to be free and active. I don't want to waste it worrying over something like this.

With my honor and credibility on this platform I've never see someone so anxious to pull someone down. We have commented posted proofs that this is not you work and you have not replied or commented you are hiding something I requested for the procedure of your work and your Instagram link in which you have claimed to post this drawing and @the-gorilla, @stef1, @xpilar and @ngeonyi. Should please properly check this cause this is a false accusations. I don't see any reason why my brother would still anyone when he a fine artist. So we have taken time to take picture of my brother with his drawing and uploaded it in his post so check it out.

Tempest Inyang is my username both on Facebook and Instagram. Those who knows me here knows that.
I'm not hiding anything.
Don't defend him because he is your brother.
My work is well framed and hanging in a gallery in my town in Uyo. It was raining this afternoon which didn't give me the chance to go to the gallery and take a picture with the work and post it here for proof of ownership.
I'm not saying he stole my art work.
I'm only not happy that he copied my art work and posted before me. And from the rules and regulations, this is plagiarism.
Pls don't just get angry with me. Everyone know I'm genuine in this platform. I can't let him copy me without my permission or referencing.
Thanks.
@the-gorilla @xpilar @stef1 I promise to post my picture of myself holding my work in 48 hours since it's hanging in the gallery.
Thank you.

All this is normal I'm not supporting him because he is my brother but because he has a reference and it's not yours. Brother you didnt answer my question. Is this your original work or you drew it with a reference?

Check this link I know you would recognize it image cause you drew from the inverted version of it.

I know you are genuine, I've commented on your post alot and no doubt you are a fine artist. I'm not angry at you only for us to look at it and solve this cause this is just a smile misunderstanding.

@tempestinyang, @ezunjoshy . Gentlemen, your dispute is solved very simply. The copyright belongs to the one who first published the drawing. The later publication of the drawing can be considered plagiarism. This is the copyright law.
@stef1 I invite these two gentlemen to submit their first publication of a drawing with a confirmed publication date. It does not matter where the work was exhibited (location), the date of publication with confirmation of its authenticity is important.
In the case of publication in Stееmit, everything is simple, each post has a confirmed date.
If the work is in the gallery, then a photo together with the work will not be enough. Need a photo of the document with the date of placement in the gallery.
Предложи им прислать под этот пост комментарий с подтверждением даты публикации, это решит все споры.

Everything I wanted to say, I have already said. In order to prove that this is your drawing, you just have to provide proof of an earlier date of creation of your drawing. For example, the document of acceptance of your drawing to the gallery with the date of acceptance.

I created that job years ago. I can't remember.
The gallery I hung it didn't do any documentation so no such proof is available.
Thank you. But I will post the work when I am ready to.

You can post whatever you want. Who can forbid it?
But in the case of a copyright dispute, only the date of the first publication matters.
