Are These Any Of Your Pictures?


This guy has just started posting adds on craigslist and he has obviously stolen pictures from the internet. There are several decks, fences, ramps and such.

What makes them obvious they're "stolen" ?

It took me about 2 seconds to recognize a bunch of those pics from posts here.

Mostly because he states he has served savannah for the past 20 years but yet there are photos of homes with basements in which we do not have here.

The resolution of the photos tells me that he copied the pictures and did not know or was unable to properly resize them.

I believe he may have actually built the block wall at top, electrical panel, living room and painted the porch. The rest

I don't recognize any of the pics, nor does this site: http://tineye.com/.

Comes in very handy for sniffing out such games.

Very cool tool. Could come in handy in the future. However, the only problem is they only search what they have indexed already.

Wondering why TinEye couldn't find your image?

  • Our search index is still very small—just a fraction of all the images on the web! But our index is always growing, so be sure to search for this image again later.
  • TinEye looks for the specific image you uploaded, not the content of the image. TinEye cannot identify people or objects in an image.
  • Check out our Frequently Asked Questions for more info.
