Getty Images Letter Forum / Tom Schwabel - copyright equivalent of Nigerian scam
« on: August 21, 2014, 01:28:40 AM »
A "photographer" by the name of Tom Schwabel sent me an email that I had used one of his images on my website.  He claims I removed his watermark, a laughable claim that of course he could never prove.  He wanted me to take down the image and pay him a few hundred bucks.  But here's the thing: I don't think the image he was talking about was his!  I think it is actually an image from a guy by the name of Peter Lik.  So I told him to f**k off.  About a week later he sent a letter to my hosting provider, and they took my site down!  WTF?!?  Sounds like a huge scam to extort money out of people.  I wonder how many others this guy has scammed.  Anybody else been targeted by this scammer?

Guys like this need to be outed and put in jail!
