Default Someone Impersonating Me?

So here's the deal. A random pic of my car is at the top of the page where it shows members album pictures, funny thing though the SN attached to it wasn't mine. So I click on it and find this.....

In his albums he has this pic of my car...



With the caption "the transformation begins"

That would lead me to believe that the car belongs to him cause he's got other pictures of his car in the same album.... Hmmmm?

Here's a link to the album
https://my350z.com/forum/members/der...on-begins.html

BTW the member is derekinthez. Which I found when I searched his SN was a thread calling him out as a paypal scammer....
Let me know what you guys think

BTW is there a way for the mods to lock that album from being edited so he can't take the pic down?

What a fraud! That's one of the things I worry about when it comes to posting up pictures. I'm sure the mod's can do something about it. They helped me out about two years ago with a "somewhat" similar situation. On the bottom right side where it says "report picture" click on that and it will direct you. The mod's here respond in a timely manner.

I hope that he put that there to show what he wants his car to end up like.
Shady.

it looks like he just likes your Z...would have to look through his post history more to get the full story.

is there a way to see where the pic is being used?

Yeah, thought about that but it said report inappropriate pics.... so wasn't sure. Plus I really don't care, it's just funny and don't want him to delete the pic out of his album before other people saw what I was talking about.

Was gonna call him out on it, but wanted to post this first and didn't want him to delete it before other saw.

Maybe not ban...... but a good flaming would suffice

Possible, but why the caption "the transformation begins"? Why not "my inspiration" or "what my car could look like"?

Looked through his post history and it's not like he's posting the pic in threads as his own, but that would be too obvious cause in larger pics you can see the Team Nextstage decal and also my friends Chreeno's water mark.

What do you mean bro? As in I'm in the Rays 2010 Catalog or Vertex-USA website banner? Or that I haven't been posting much lately?

Here's the thread started about derekinthez being a paypal scammer......

https://my350z.com/forum/the-lounge-...l-scammer.html

Kinda doesn't show this dude in a good light when there are 2 threads showing some dishonesty on his part.
