Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,
Today we wanted to present another Big case in our opinion of stolen Identity this time of very popular Illustrator Gret Lusky who is currently working for DC Comics and Marvel/IDW Publishing.
Before we go ahead let‘s give you some background information about the person whose Identity was stolen.

New account on Steemit - @gretlusky
Let’t start from beginning, this account was created on 12 October 2020

When we saw that we were very excited to have someone like Gret Lusky who is relatively well know Artist with her amazing Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Daviantart and two of her own website.
Actually if such person would have joined Steemit then definitely many of her followers might also joined Steem blockchain.
But unfortunately it was not the case. After trying to communicate with the person @gretlusky and leaving comment under the account we have received no contact.
Then we left message in real Grets website, asking if that is herself registered in Steemit, but did not here for some time.
Someone who probably was very jealous of her talent and popularity of real Gret wanted to use it and got registered under her name.
- One day we noticed this message under the posts of that user:
![7.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRkW7ALvu7ajdVhFJVNjP8ryorG5UCRfewCnLVnKDErvH/7.jpg)
That also confirmed our suspicion. In order clarify who is who we this time left message in her Instagram and here is the REPLY from real Gret Lusky:
![8.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZBZSPefBvhzDWoziraxcr6dy2Dpasbnxmpqfr7iM2xGW/8.jpg)
That is finally clear that the account does not belong to real Artist and actually dropping a shadow on Steem blockchain, especially if it is taking so long for Admit on Steemit to answer when someone is contacting and reporting Identity Thief.
I hope with this post @steemitblog and @steemcurator01 will delete the account with stolen images.
We all have to be cautious and keep an eye on any suspicious accounts to prevent spread of such people who abusing the platform, spreading plagiarism or stealing Identity.

Не понимаю, на что рассчитывают люди - ведь рано или поздно поймают
Особенно если всяли личность известную во многих социальных блогах и с веб. сайтом, к тому же оставил имя этой художницы.

Excellent work @stef1.
Steemit needs to be kept clean and reliable.
Thank you, agree hopefully people will learn the lesson :)
Great work @stef1, that´s the way it has to be, be prepared all you identity thief out there who just look to gain easy money from the content of hard working artists, well done ;)
Thank you @don-t, nowadays it is easy through all the new technology to create such fake accounts but on other hand there are some tools to detect them too. Luckily many artists have their website and it is easy to get in touch with them too :)
