| Stinkin(I was going to say something else) scammers anyway I just got a call from a very nice gentleman in California that was concerned because he replied to a for sale add from a (you guessed it)missionary in Nigeria that had to get rid of their dog. We all know the story because we had heard it a 100 times. Anyway the guy responded to them and asked for pictures and the friggen scammer sent him pictures off of my website. The dumb a**es werent even smart enough to take Shailablueyorkies off of the picture before they sent it. The guy from California pulled up my website and low and behold there are the same pictures of my dogs only the scammer gave them new names. Thank goodness he was nice enough to call ( I dont know how he got my number since it isnt on my website and neither is my name). Maybe from a different advertisement. He said he had to do some researching to find me. Good thing there are honest people in this world. I emailed the scammer and gave them a piece of my mind. I dont know if there is any way to track these SOBs or not. Just wanted to vent. Man I hate people that dont want to work and would rather try and scam poor innocent people out of their money. I just hope no one fell for it. |

| I'm happy that this guy informed you, but I imagine they will continue to use your pictures. Maybe you could put a disclaimer on your website letting people know that you are not a missionary in nigeria. |

| There is a way that you can make the pictures on your website "copyrighted material" so that people can't download them. Basically when someone right clicks on them to save the picture, a message comes up telling them that they can't and that it's wrong to steal pictures anyway. I don't know the code to do this, but my boyfriend is a web developer so I can ask him if you want. He's in Utah for a family wedding, and he gets back on the fourth so I can ask him then. -O

| there is an html code that you can put on your website where it disables right clicking. if someone tries to right click and save your pictures, a message will come up (whatever message you want it to be) i helped make an organization website and we disabled right-clicking and if someone right-clicked, it said 'SEE YOU LATER' and their internet browser closes them out. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | If you need your photos watermarked - let me know & I can do it for you - you'd have to re-upload them though once they're done There are so many ways around the disabled Right Click function I can mostly always snag a picture if I set my mind to it - very few sites are foolproof and fully protected - |

| Hey Barb, At least the scammer has good taste, you have some beautiful pictures on your site. Your an excellent photographer. Maybe I should have you help me with my web site if I ever get around to creating one.
