BOTS with my avatar!

[ANA ✗ ART]

I had a lot of problem with some person who create bots and put them avatars with my picture (with my face)!
I make graphic design and i talk with client on steam, and a lot of people don't trust me because they think i will scam them from another account. It's absurd, this ruin my little freelancing business. Also when i'm playing, people said the same thing.
What can i make to stop to use my picture, or remove them? I report them, and i put people to make the same, but nothing happend. I don't agree this, in that picture is me, my face, my body and i don't agree this!
Now to understand I can't let my avatar on steam with my face and i must stay scared because an idiot will stole it and use it?

Report the avatar from the profile, if it really is your made avatar.

you should wonder how smart it was to use your real picture.
steam accounts are free , remove one another pops up.

try support but they can not stop people making new accounts.

While the law obviously says otherwise, the reality is that anything you put on the Internet is going to be used by anyone for whatever purpose they like, and unless you have a lot of time and money it's going to be very difficult to stop all of them.

Encouraging other users to report them will not help. The photo is of you, Steam only needs to hear from you. Report the user and wait for Steam to remove the photos. I'm sorry.

Yeah, at first I went to Google and see how many other people use it already. Turns out it probably actually is OP's, given the (in)direct links to the DeviantArt -profile.

Anyway, Internet is a web. Once something is in there, it's not coming out. Real life pictures happen to be that too.

It seems they are using an original image and your avatar is in fact the edited version.

The original is possibly from either the DeviantArt, or from this group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/anamariaart

Yeah i get that, and they are using an original image while the ops one is edited. If you plaster your image all over steam expect it to be used.

Thank you for your advice. Teutep i saw that to. I have this picture on deviant art and on google + . I saw on your search my avatar show on deviantart so many time with diffrent name on title, but is not because that people use it, is because i have activity with them on that website, the same for google + any friend (my friend) will apear in that search , but with my avatar (any avatar i will put). I edited that image special because i found this bots some days ago. Before that i had the same avatar like the bots.

Yeah, that's also why I took down the Google link I had in my #1 post.

I realized that your posts were why it highlights on the other pages.
Unfortunately it's not too easy to get off - at least permanently.

As a artist you should design a own logo instead using a real life picture. It was pretty obvious that somebody who gets popular with art will accumulate some trolls who are jealous of your skills, or just bother because you are female.

Thats what I did myself too and dozens of my artist friends.
