Hi there and welcome. Firstly, sorry to hear about your experience.

I too, found my own work plagiarised here on Steemit, but when I alerted the community, they gave the perpetrator a piece of their mind, with flags., so justice can be found, but it takes vigilance.

I agree that plagiarism is currently rampant on Steemit, but luckily there are a number of people fighting back, and would-be plagiarists are being kept on their toes. Steemcleaners caught someone recently who had respun an article quite meticulously and gotten it "trending", so the message is getting across; plagiarism is not welcome here.

Perhaps you'd like to join the fight!
