Stealing photos for false advertising?

I apologize if this is the wrong place, but I saw this:

And recognized one of the weight-loss progress pics as one of the gals that had posted here once before. I can't believe it! Though I have heard of it happening before. Just a reminder to watermark your images so crap like this doesn't happen. Again, sorry if this is the wrong post!

Yes - the person whose photos were stolen posted recently about another similar scam using her pictures.

as advertised on womens health website.

(Mod edit: The website is fake (not women's health), so I removed it. Here's a screenshot with the stolen pictures though)

the blonde woman who went from 13 to 10 stone is me. and i did that by going to the gym for 3 hours a day for a damn long while!!! i had a very strict diet and worked damn hard. disgusting that they are still stealing photos.

anyway, i hope i haven't posted in the wrong forum. what i want is that when people google what i have put in the subject line that it will consequently come up with 'scam' and lead to this form (hopefully).

sorry if i've posted in the wrong place!!!!

quality coffee

I will have to remove the link that you posted about this. You will see that it is the same photos being used time and time again... All with lies about a pill or extract having worked magic with no effort otherwise.

I notice that the advert which you linked says
You may have heard of the enormously popular Pure Green Coffee Plus in the news. Pure Green Coffee Plus gets it's magic from Chorogenic Acid, which has studies showing that it inhibits sugar absorption, decrease caloric input and has a significant effect on glucose metabolism. Essentially this means that the body is more efficient at burning fat. In studies taken out by renowned health research institution UCLA in Los Angeles - Pure Green Coffee Plus was proven to ignite your metabolism and therefore fat burning capabilities by around 300% when taken regularly. That said, the problem is that very few Pure Green Coffee Plus products out there are pure. Most fluctuate between the 60-70% purity levels - well thats off course until we ran into the product 'Pure Green Coffee Plus'. Pure Green Coffee Plus Formula claimed they delivered 95% Pure Green Coffee Plus extract to your body so to put it simply - we were intrigued.

Further to the above, we had also researched that those taking 'Pure Green Coffee Plus' experiencing shocking weight loss were also using the natural detoxifier 'Premier Cleanse '. Together, testimonials claim the combined usage of these two products led to significant weight loss, more energy and generally a healthier day to-day feeling. If you're skeptical, you're not alone. When we first learned about this weight loss combo, our diet fad radar went off right away.

Nevertheless, as we began to investigate the countless success stories reported by people from all around the globe, we decided that this weight loss trend was worthy of a closer examination. Moreover, we found it of particular interest that these people had not significantly changed their current lifestyles.

This is very different from the experience of the person who got the results in the photos.
For my money - going to the gym for 3 hours a day and staying on a very strict diet is a significant change to your lifestyle.
