F4F member kurab2556 has never purchased from me (unless under some name I am unaware of). However, he has been using my photos to sell fig cuttings on his Facebook group located at https://www.facebook.com/groups/growingfig/ and, though he initiated contact with me through Facebook and chatted with me as recently as six days ago, he has now blocked me so I cannot see his posts in his group with my primary Facebook account. Fortunately, I have another account still and he can try to guess who that is. This post is being made to alert others and to suggest avoiding dealing with this individual based in Thailand. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

It's almost like you have to put a disclaimer on any photos you take and use on any selling site. "Photo Copywrite 2014 HarveyC for use only by HarveyC." And put that across the photo in faint lettering! Photoshop, diagonal at 25% opacity. I do it all the time for personal photos on Pinterest. FB can also be a nasty place. I sent a dude in another country some grapevine cuttings which grew into a vineyard, and he became such a pest I eventually blocked him. At least you can do that there. But when it's a selling competitor it would be nice to spy on what he is saying. Suzi __________________ Zone 9b, Southern California.

Harvey, Its high time you "bookmark" all your photos. Few "sellers" around this region have been caught stealing other people's photos.

Richard, he never asked permission and he blocked me and then kicked me out of his group. I spent 4 hours on this last night and this jerk wants me to delete this thread but I suggested he publicly apologize and to compensate me for the use of my photos. He is now posting that I'm a F'in western white money eater (or something like that) so he can't post my photos but tells folks to send him a PM and he'll send photo. He's contacted several members here asking to buy bulk quantities of cuttings and I suggested folks tell him to take a flying leap. Just IMHO, LOL. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

Thanks for the heads up on this clown, Harvey. It is really depressing how this sort of scum keeps popping up on ebay & FB to prey on the trusting and/or ignorant (unfortunately, I fall into both those categories in the fig-world so I am now using this forum to help keep me safe). John

I've dealt with kurab2556 before and had good experiences. He's always been honest and straightforward with me. Too bad these disagreements have to escalate to bashing people on the forum. __________________ Joe Phoenix Area (Zone 9) I am MrFrozenJoe on YouTube. I am arizonafigs on eBay.

Joe, it's not about disagreements, really. He has stolen my photos and those of several others. Maybe you should look at his Facebook group to see if he is using yours without permission. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

Alex, you can't read. I never told Percha how much to pay. I told him how much I paid for the use of someone else's photos and, in an earlier message, told him to make me an offer. When someone takes something from me without permission, they should pay.

May be I can not read, but you still a fake ................. " Make me an offer" and then mention how much you pay to Bass............... It was very nice to include other member to your greediness ......... And making business agreement with him known to everybody.......... Very smart move.

I did not make my business agreement with Bass public, your fellow thief did that. Bass does not mind and there is nothing wrong with that anyways. I am not cheating anybody out of their property. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

And you used a picture of Bass figs because you sell a fake and was trying to cover it !!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember? It was exactly a reason why you start attacking me, because I sent you a massage with a question on eBay "Why are you using somebody else picture?" Next day you start posting nasty massages about me. Remember?

Good Grief! Why is Bass in this picture? I always think of him as a very honest talented person, he even has his own web site http://www.treesofjoy.com/ just listen his OUD gismo play: __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

I am not selling a fake, Alex. As mentioned in my auction, the cuttings for my mother trees came for Bass and that is the only reason Bass would agree to my use of his photos. My posts about you and your fell scammers was started on January 12, 2015 while "your" question about the use of his photos came to me on January 14, 2015. You have the order of events reversed. But you bring up an interesting thing. The question about my use of Bass's photos on eBay came from Korina-2009 who is based in Pennsylvania. It now appears, based on your own comment, that you either use her name/address as a fake or you control that eBay account. __________________ Harvey - Correia Farms Isleton, CA (Sacramento County) USDA zone 9b, Sunset zone 14 http://www.figaholics.com https://www.facebook.com/Figaholics

It is only words of old scam bag, nothing much........ And you did not answer the question about multiple Facebook accounts? You use you accounts to manipulate fig international community? State a clear reason why do you need few accounts? Because they keep block you out of forums? Give some clear answers, stop accusing others.
