This is beyond creepy, and it has happened w/ me where someone stole my picture off FB to use as their own. I was then tipped off by somebody and I had to ask FB to take it down. And then it happened again recently and someone who follows me on twitter recognized it and told me about it.
The thing is, I understand using celebrities (still kinda weird but whatever) but using an actual person’s? That is plain creepy.

Someone once stole mine and put it on a porn site (not a dirty pic, just a normal one).. how messed up is that 
Since then I’ve tended to watermark a lot of them..

FB is evil, which is why I deleted mine a long time ago.

Someone emailed me about it.. So lucky no-one desi we knew came across it..
Re: What's up w/ Desis stealing other people's pics to use as their own?
that is really scary...are the pictures uploaded on fb with privacy settings not safe? are those seen by others?
Re: What’s up w/ Desis stealing other people’s pics to use as their own?
its not about fb. Its about people who use it!
And its not only desis who do that.

Some are worse they use picture of gori blondes as their own. 
Re: What's up w/ Desis stealing other people's pics to use as their own?
why put pictures online if there is so much concern about it?

Nah, it was on the main site, on the front page.. Pop up ads would have been worse, prob 10x more ppl would have seen it..

Exactly, lesson learnt for sure. I'm off FB now, not just because of that obviously, but it was a bucket of waste. That's another topic...

A lot of Arabs seem to do this..
Staci Cole is apparently one of the most ‘faked’ ppl on the internet.. Her pics are all over the place posted by ppl pretending to be her..
