The he shouldnt have used those pics for his portfolio. Simple as that.

lol everyone meet the internet moral police. Listen kid, I do as I please and here's the fun part I am not answerable to you. If you believe that the images other than the Mr Gilles Tran's work arent mine THEN come back to me.

Since you are "good" at tracing stuff as you like to think, go ahead, trace the remaining images to me. I dare you.

- The point is  they are not linked to me or my name in anyway. Sure I can show you the raw files in my computer, but why should I? Why on EARTH would I waste my time on you? Wouldn't that mean that I would have to take you "seriously" ? and .. if you know me by my history.. I don't take trolls seriously.

2013 - been accused an arabian scammer with NO proof whatsoever of scamming. That's almost 3 years now .. so yeah .. who are you now?

YES, I tried to purchase a FAUCET that someone was claiming to make a lot of money & had proof to back it up, other people in the business pointed out those were doctored proofs & I backed out of the deal, simple as that.

Escrow.ms ? You mean Pankaj ? I bought at OVER the market price? Do you have proof? I bought AT market price and Benson Samuel - a mod in this forum, was the escrow. I paid first.

Anything else? Just dig up the forum. Its all here.

Let me tell you how.
You TELL your client that you have years of experience under your bag, which - I admit- is a LIE, you show them a portfolio which has a LOT of work. Mostly that aren't yours. Because nobody wants to hire a noob.
But when you GET that job, you work! You work like there's no tomorrow and you MATCH that fake portfolio's quality.
That is how THAT 17 year old green rookie turned into THIS 24 year old "professional".

And guess what? That student portfolio with an awful content quality is now filled with work that pleases a LOT many people and why don't I share my portfolio online? because I don't want a rookie like I was, to find my portfolio and do what I have done.

Do I understand right that you try to explain its absolutely normal to deceive someone in order to get a job? You would also write in your CV that you worked for NASA and tell some fantasy story in a 1:1 job interview just because you think you would get that job? In your head you excuse that lie because you think you are the best astronaut in the world?

Thanks for telling how things works - what the fuck is going on here?



In case I misunderstood, im sorry, but if that shit there is supposed to be real, I believe you are still stuck at 17 in your head.

Let me tell you "how" this will end up when you, one day, enter the real world. You pull that shit and something goes wrong, you end up with a fine for fraud, pretence and misrepresentation.

Following your logic, why dont you call yourself Salvador Dali Jr. and claim you are some long lost son who actually painted some of the stuff his father was credited for, then you get the job and you MATCH that work.

I do understand your logic (I think) but...that is so so so wrong, and people here shouldnt take this serious. The day one of your clients find out about the lying part, no matter how good you are, they can legally just tell you to fuck off with no pay and any court will confirm it. Everyone is prepping up his cv with some nonsense, everyone who speaks 3 sentences of french writes crap like "French Language: Advanced" etc, but this is an outright fraud. Its like, Sony and Pioneer are 2 companies and I want a Sony, you show me pictures of Pioneer with a Sony logo and tell me its 100% a Sony...but then you better make 1000% sure I dont notice you sold me a Pioneer.

I wont doubt you are talented, but if I seriously understood this above well (I had to read it twice..but perhaps Im missing something), that gets my vote for "surreal" argument of the month. You just try to speed up your career by deceiving because you wasted 4 years in some shitty school and argue with some weird form of necessity.

Dont really care about the topic and claims itself but this little explanation .....S U R R E A L ...

It looks like the hero member 'Quickseller' gave this person a negative rating over a year ago because he was trying to take out a 60 BTC loan while using a faucet as collateral

It also looks like Legendary member 'johnniewalker' left this person a negative rating over similar issues as were described in the OP, as legendster was trying to sell a high end car, but to prove ownership of such cars he used pictures of cars being sold in Las Angeles while legendster was(is) located in India.

There also appears to be some level of controversy over the ratings that escrow.ms left for legendster as legendster purchased bitcoin from escrow.ms at above market value and ended up receiving two positive ratings from the deal, one from escrow.ms and one from Benson Samuel who has worked closely with escrow.ms in the past.

Yes, I remember Legendster from that used car scam thread that went on FOREVER.  It was one of the most interesting threads I've read in quite some time, and it was pretty obvious that the cars that he said "his friend" was selling were just pics grabbed from Google or some such.  Wouldn't trust him with anything related to money.

Just as an addendum for this argument against legendster's point: if they are able to "match" the fake portfolio's work, then they should be able to create work of their own of that substantial quality to make a REAL portfolio, instead of having our first impressions of them to be sleazy.

I mean... if you have the skills, why not show them off? If you are even able to do the art in the first place, that is.

Nasa

lol you had me cracked up at that.

But yeah I get your point and no I am not in agreement with it, not wholly anyway.

Where you are going wrong is - you are mixing engineering with online freelancing.

In other words you are mistaking "hey I can do this" for "hey I will give you the exact product that you see here".

IN OTHER WORDS online freelancing works very differently and I have a lot to learn, but what I do know that in order to compete, you have to lie.

I cannot share my nda work and I don't get enough time to sit develop new demo reels, so I'll have to let time & non nda works fill up my portfolio and this phase has come and gone. I can do without using Mr Grans work on my portfolio because I have my own now. All anyone HAD to do was ask for it.

But lets face facts, how is this scamming?

Maybe you people need to re learn the definition of scamming. What I do isn't morally right, but being morally right didnt put food on my table.

Welcome back. So how many people did I scam?

Same question as back then. I am still in connection with the so called "friend" back then. Rest is history.

When you cant put your own work on the table then the only reason i see the thread you created is to scam. Its like Progammer A advertising his programming skills whilst linking other sites as his previous work.

People pay based on your previous work, and the previous work which you've been advertising isn't even yours. Now if you were offering a free designing service, then im sure no one would care but in reality, there's money on the line so people deserve to know what they're getting.

In other words you are mistaking "hey I can do this" for "hey I will give you the exact product that you see here".

IF that was the case you should have stated that you area able to do such designs and not slapping trademarks on them claiming to be yours.

[legendster]

I mean... if you have the skills, why not show them off? If you are even able to do the art in the first place, that is.

Like I said, not sure how many of you have worked online, I am sure a lot of you have. I learned from what I saw was happening.
Log onto freelancer or back then 'getafreelancer' you could see the same image on multiple profiles who claimed to be very different people.

Long story short since 2009 the only time anyone has been able to recognize Gilles Tran's work was on 29th feb 2016 and this is despite this image being on the front page of wiki and Mr Tran being such a famous artist.

Oh & as far as being sued is concerned, goodluck trying to sue someone in India because they copied someone else's work.

Right now, I can open a new account, wait for a few months rack up some trust by trading and lending and scam busting AND use some un traceable ripped off portfolio and claim it as mine and trust me no matter how hard you tried you wouldnt be able to find the duplicates.

How can I say that? Because thats what I did when I started.

Why don't I share my own work publicly? Because "the public" wouldnt hire me. Portfolio is for people strictly interested in hiring me.

NONE of you lecturers have hired me and NONE of the trolls here have been able to prove a scam in my name and I have been here for three years.

blah blah..

Hello Noise,

Like I said, not answerable to you.
I do what I do to EARN my income. I do not cheat or mislead. People see my portfolio before hiring and what was listed here was not even the top of my portfolio. I have around 600 mb of images in my portfolio.
The way you have chalked up this entire thing only MAKES me look bad but people that HAVE worked with me or interacted with me know the truth.

If you compare designing services to coding then you're an idiot.
And btw look up the concept of reskinned apps. Very common, not morally right but puts food on the table and is a legit form of work.

Oh and btw you are trying to gut punch someone for earning his living the right way. Bravo, now you can sleep well at night.

Since you're only interested in yapping and not proving your innocence, then i believe it's clear that the feedback you received are well deserved. Will be locking the thread now as we dont need more trolling and sig spamming.
