Booma 1,360 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Just a heads up guys. Came across an instagram account tonight masqurading as a young lady who fishes adelaide hills creeks and streams for trout. None of her photos are Legit, and a reverse image search revealed at least one of the photos she is claiming as her own is actually one of Meppsta's (I presume) The account is https://www.instagram.com/ruzzomelissa/ if anyone wants to check it out for any of there own pictures. Meppstas stolen photo is from this article https://www.tasfish.com/135-rivers/mersey-river/2454-good-spin-session-in-tannin-waters-22-9-2017 If you aren't fussed, thats cool, but this sort of thing really grinds my gears Meppstas, gregtech, Alexsfishin1 and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kuerschie 2,309 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I was wondering how she got brook trout in SA, explains it if she’s photo stealing etc. Alexsfishin1 and Booma 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rod 773 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Probably not even a 'she'. There's plenty of opportunity to create a life for yourself in this world, but this sort of stuff and the people who keep ringing about the accident I wasn't in or sending me spam emails. I pity their poor pathetic souls LOL Cheers Rod Booma 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Underpants 1,543 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Instagram...what a load of s**t! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuusieDave 765 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Looking at that instagram account I reckon I've had facebook friend requests from an account of the same name with the same portrait pics. Some scammers may have thrown this instagram together to make the fake fb profile look legitimate. Booma 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 If you do the old drop and drag image in google images it clearly shows the pics have been taken from the world wide web. "That" profile was getting around a few trout and redfin pages on facebook asking around for trout spots and the likes. Youd be surprised how many actually messaged it back and replied to her comments.... All the lads looking for a hookup.... Pretty funny really how some people are so naive and fall for it.... it screams fake profile Alexsfishin1 and Booma 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meppstas 4,964 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 There's three of mine there, as Banga say's anyone can go on Google images and copy them off Facebook too.. If you go on Google type in brown trout images etc it will bring up heaps, the same of you type in my name too.. A lot of various site photos are on Google images.. doesn't bother me all that much.. thanks for the update on that too Booma.. cheers Adrian Alexsfishin1, Booma and SaltyFlyer 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couldnt convert it to South Australian Murray's though, our republican currency, so I ended up missing out. Rod 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeathCal 212 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Seeing as this is an instagram topic, I run an instagram page, with my own photos called South Oz Fishing. If you guys (or girls) have any images you'd allow me to share, I'd happily credit you for them and where they came from. I'm not one to use people's images without permission either (I actually do automotive photography as a side-gig). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snapperhead 523 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I had someone do the same to me on Breammaster some years back, he used pictures of my bream catches and even used one of mine for his avatar. I messaged him and had some fun asking him where he caught such great fish and the idiot messaged me back telling me all about his catches. I had some fun and let him dream on about the fish HE catches cheers snapps Booma and Meppstas 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
