Does anyone know the name Vince Fallert? One of my photos + one of wowbmw's - and no doubt others - are showing up under his name on a site called VotoArt.

I dont' see any way to contact the site administrators without creating an account through twitter or Facebook.

It's shameful what some people are willing to do to make money. No integrity.

I googled his name. He lists himself as a professional photographer.He resides in Wentzville, Mo.
But on Facebook, he lists his residence as Warrenton, Mo.

Bob and Steve, thank you. Steve, in order to contact VotoArt via the site, you must be on Facebook or Twitter. It's all a grand conspiracy :)

I had hoped the Contact Us link would have worked.
- Their Privacy Policy isn't helpful either

Taking your suggestion of making up a user name seems to have worked. In the meantime, that stop stealing photos abuse site wouldn't let me post a note because it kept saying I wasn't entering the correct code (to show I was real person), but it wouldn't refresh a new code for me to try.

Stepping away from the computer now :)

SSP recently moved to a new site, but I can't display The Captcha Code in Canary, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Edge or Mozilla Firefox. Fun.

You may be able to contact them through their Facebook site http://www.facebook.com/Photo-Stealers-Community-Edition-1391198224536948

He is also on facebook and something called Pixoto.

So far all I found are contest winners and current posts, what has gone up in the past?

Facebook leads to Ellisville in western St Louis County Missouri.

and another Facebook entry, using the same lily for an avatar says Warrenton Missouri

The first photo displaying on that pixoto site is wowbmw's (different background).

Not sure of your question, "what has gone up in the past." On VotoArt if you do a search by photographer, you'll see a page full of "his." The pumpkins is my shot.

I meant what has he posted that in the past or that didn't make the award list.

I found a Vince Fallert who uses the same lily as an avatar who lives in Warrenton Missouri.

The lily is on the Pixoto site and lists Wentzville Missouri.

These towns are all close and to the west of St Louis.
