Can you tell the thieving ******* to take down my photos from my hunting company and the numerous other hunting companies photos off his Facebook page and stop using them to promote his company.

Facebook have already been notified of the numerous copyright infringement he has done.

It is totally unacceptable to post photos of other companies hunts giving the impressing they are yours.

He even has a photo of a friend of mine hunting in Africa as his Facebook profile photo.

I tried that and so have other people, they never pick up.

I did a response via e-mail.

They claimed all the photos on the Facebook site were theirs, till I pointed out I am in them. Then they backtracked and said oh we got some photos from other pages we liked. :cuckoo:

Don't worry mate, I have spoken my piece to them.

​Facebook is dealing with it now, I have had enough of this happening. Just because you can take a good photo does not mean everyone else can help themselves.

​I would have thought that this is blatant case of misrepresentation or fraud so time to speak to Plod. Even though I doubt they will do anything.

Quite a few sites use any photos they can find.

I had a fair few of mine used by someone who argued the picture belonged to the person who owns the land, not the photographer:doh: and as he knew the manager of the land was entitled to use the pics.
Trying to tell different was not worth the hassle and I see there still on his site.

Before anyone mentions it yes we have used photographs taken by eggy s to produce cards that have been offered for sale in aid of H4H. This was however with his permission and with due acknowledgement to the copyright of the photographer on the rear of the card along with the purpose i.e. fund raising in aid of H4H.

Unfortunately on the few occasions that these cards have been offered for sale such as the H4H shoot and when we have been promoting the event the uptake has not been good. We put this down to shooters being more interested in shooting than buying cards or simply not appreciating the artistic quality of the photography which personally I consider to be outstanding. No wonder some unscrupulous persons poach his work without first seeking permission or giving due credit.

Guys ! I have spoken with the real George Elliot several times today and he was very surprised to hear his company had a Facebook page as he had never set one up and doesn't even have a personal one ! He has been in contact with fife police who have passed this on to there ecrimes division as it is a scam ! Please do not book any shooting through this page ! His details were most probably picked from companies house or some other site where he advertises !This could happen to anyone of us so please be aware.

I have been stalking regularly with the REAL George Elliot for over a year and he is seriously worried about what this IMPOSTER site on Facebook will do to his business and reputation. He is a straight up hard working game keeper that does not have time or the computer skills to deal with this type of identity theft/fraud. I have tried to report this through Facebook for him but the process loops on itself making it I possible to communicate with them. If you have been able to report the infringements please repeat this as much as you can in the hope that they will notice and do something about it. George is harassing the local police who claim they are dealing with it but at what priority?
