Holy cow, within 5 minutes I found 3 of my designs and saw Sandra's, Sharon's, Corrie's, MM Anderson's, Teri's, Betty's, and Natalie's, Sue Nollmeyer's, and I have only begun! Arghhhhhh

For those who reported, how did you answer the question for detailing the design if you have multiple URL's?
Also, what did you put down for the registration number?

Thank You!

Doreen, thank you for bringing this to our community's attention and with suggested action.

This is horrible - downright theft - you would think with so many individual product violations for a seller Temu would / should shut that seller's store down completely.

Let us know if GCU can help any way. Unfortunately it is a risk of selling online. We can share your thread on the blog too to reach more GCU artists.

Did you click the report button on the page of every stolen card you found? I am under no illusion they will stop, but we can at least try and get some of our cards down. And maybe then I can put a blog post together with tips on how GCU artists can go forward with this.

This is something that I've dealt with for a long time as a stock photographer so it isn't new to me but no less frustrating. Thank you GCU for taking a stand and bringing it to our awareness.

Once we submitted one we found that some pages in the process were already filled in with saved info. Multiple images were also found on aluminum signs for sale. Jay & Susan
