Ebay seller has photos of autograph preprints taken from an example I posted on this forum

Maybe this stuff happens all the time, but I have to say I was a little surprised to come across a few Scarlett Johansson pictures being sold as preprints that have an autograph example that I had posted on this forum a few months ago - an autograph that I bought second hand and wasn't even sure was 100% real (The consensus seemed to be that it was real)

Here is the picture that I posted - this is from a signed 11 x 14 in blue paint pen

Now tell me this isn't the EXACT same signature stamped onto these photos -

So somebody must have come onto this site, used Photoshop or something to trace my autographed example from the picture and then just saved it as a stamp to use on pictures.

Does this happen alot?

She really has very, very, nice, large, round eyes. What did you think I was going to say? That is unusual about the autograph getting snagged. I neverheard of that happening before.
