    • What to do with frauders?

    Discussion started by skapricorn
    Back to board

    They are here for long time.

    Cadcart, micheldogary-, shurik-ryas, perhaps grivajewel and cadholder-1 and lots of others people that uploading hundreds of items per day. And usually this models are very suspicious. They have a lot of same (or very similar models), don't have normal info about item, they declaring 3DM format, but instead of it are just wrapping STL into 3DM file etc etc etc. Most of all this stuff was collected on internet for free, or just used Matrix/Rhinogold (or similar) samples and library elements. And this "free" stuff was leaked from 3d-printing service studios (stolen by managers, printer operators etc...)

    Does CGtrader have any ideas what to do with this people?

    I know, CGT have profit from each sale and money doesn't smell. But what about reputation and what about real modelers and designers who are harmed by these "sellers"?

    And speaking about other suspicious "designers": Here is description from the page of one (newcomer who selling Jcad stuff for 3$ per model): ___<<

    We are trying to provide lots of perfect jewelry 3d file for your
    production, we have our own design team, create hundreds models per
    month, and we keep providing high-quality jewelry cad 3d file for you.
    Thousands of designs will be uploaded every month, pls keep follow us
    for new arrival designs.>>___ Brilliant! They have HUNDREDS of slaves who making models to throw it in internet for free. (And I'm even not talking about Jcad niche "quality").

    If you have evidence of stolen assets being sold, then provide them to support and illegall content or even whole accounts will be removed. Otherwise, i would restrain myself from calling other sellers as frauders or scammers without solid evidence, unless you want to get yourself into trouble.

    I reported some items. And I'm don't shy about it. But here.is no limit to uploads and hard limit to models you can report. Another point: admins are deleting only one reported model. Not both, not three, four etc. If CGT os caring about reputation, admins.must do their work as.needed, not only by demand.

    So, what you said makes me wonder, so I looked at some of these models, especially the models of michaeldogarry-1 because he is the #1 on the list "TopDesigners".
    And besides these models may or may not be stolen, what I found kind of suspicious is the FACT that every single model he uploaded he just has 1 to 5 different pictures BUT 30 to 100 times uploaded!!!
    That doesn't seem to be a problem at first but remember: more pictures = higher publishing score for your model = better ranking in search.

    So again the models may or may not be stolen but he definitely don't "play fair".

    Btw.
    I tried the same to test it so I uploaded the exact same amount of models, same format, copied his description, copied the tags.
    With just 1 Picture the Score is about 4.2 but with 50 Pictures which are all the exact same one:
    Lady and gentleman hold your beer: the score is 8.0!
    That's a howl new league!

    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    Yes, I'm also started adding unnecessary pictures and useless for printing and for industrial design formats (as OBJ) while ago. Only for better publishing score. And I'm feeling like I'm generating spam just because CGT "loves it". It works (or worked) but not as much. Publishing score gives me no profit or more views. It just gives access to "analytics"(and this analytics is pretty useless for me). So I don't want to making unnecessary (and dirty) moves (like adding lots of pictures and unneeded formats) further.

    The system CGT made has its advantages and uses, but has to be refined for specific cases (like textures for examples) and there has to be punishments for those who exploit it ( deducting 50 reputation points could be a good prevention method for cases like this one).
    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    The best prevention would be more smarter rules of "publishing score" calculation.

    Identical image detection will also be not very hard to develop I guess
    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    You're right. But the rule "Add as more pictures as possible" is stupid in the ground. Not for all models 1000 pictures and renders are needed and in the same time no one wants to have "1.0" as PS for their models.
    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    Maybe it's not bad for fully rigged mega-tech-robot or for model for animation etc. (Also additional format). But when for some relatively NURBS-model of flat pendant that intended for CNC-machining or for 3d-printing I need to add OBJ's and pair of dozens of views -- it confusing me and it's very hard to be psychologicallyaccepted by customers (and OBJ, 3DS and other "cartoon"-formats in this case just gaves additional load to CGT servers....)

    I must say that I agree in this case and I would only add that similarly stupid is also rule: "Add as more key-words as possible". The negative effect of this is category spamming in other words some artists are adding irrelevant key-words. I personally have sometimes problem to think the minimal required 5 keywords.

    I totally agree with the rest. It's bad enough that certain sellers upload same or almost identical models numerous times, but when they exploit the publishing score in a such rude manner to get their models on top of all others... This behaviour should be punished. Fair sellers just stand no chance. No wonder why everyone is so desperate to set their prices to unacceptable level. I think we need to get cgtrader support's or even administration's attention to this issue. Situation will only get worse if we do nothing and only will chat in the forum.

    Another evidences? Just look at real author's site ( http://noktamodel.com/index.php ) author's name is Burak Yalcin.

    And at this: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models?keywords=turkish&sort_by=sales

    All this stuff is selling by multiple "authors" (such as cadcart, shurik-ryas and others) for a very long time. And CGtrader is literally flooded by this stuff.
    As modeler I can say: almost all of those copies looks not like remodeled, reverce-engineered or retopo'ed but like absolutely same models stolen many years ago and downloaded from "shadow zone". For example: https://vk.com/albums-57934042 or https://vk.com/album-57934042_248226332 there are "sales", but in real isn't complicated to ask there somebody about free copy. "Companies" like 3dwax.ru and 3drings.ru are pretty "famous" between illegal stuff searchers and sellers.

    One more stolen model:

    https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/pendants/gold-mushroom-pendant

    Proof? I have all project files. Because it was modeled by me. As far in year 2010. I provided to administration ZIP with this files. Let admins looks at file attributes and properties.

    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    P.S. I know for 100% -- it's (or "it WAS") my model. Because I know my own skills, style and modeling manners in that period (2010). And I remember for which customer I modeled it... etc.
    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    one more P.S.: I never published this model not because it was modeled for customer basing on some reference pictures of another mushroom. No. It's not exclusive job. It's just was boring and pretty ugly model. :) But client was fully satisfied. Looking at "About" of this seller I see: "Attention! 3D models mainly in stl formats, though are translated in 3dm a format. I do not translate files from one format to another. Attention! Some earrings without lock in a set!"... And you know why STL only? Answer is simple: models was leaked out some 3d-printing service in Moscow (probably from infamous 3dwax.ru but I don't have evidences... but I know and most of russian\moscowian jewelry designers knows about this "company")

    And the same model I seen in some "top sellers" stores. This model was also modeled by me on demand of my customer many years ago. I never published it because it was made UGLY (i don't like to place stones this way) by the will of client. And because it contains datum: 2006/28/04 (who needs others memories????)))))))) Admins needs proofs??? OK! Archive with source project attributed way older than 2017 (2010, but model was produced earlier) is on my HDD and copy is in cloud.

    And because topic about sellers selling stolen and leaked models for 3d printing is not as interesting for people on CGT, i will say pair words on my native language:

    Для того, чтобы из магазина продавца shurik-ryas были удалены несколько моих моделей, понадобился целый день практически бессмысленного пинг-понга по и-мэйлу с технической поддержкой CGT. И я не уверен, что эти модели были удалены по моей просьбе, потому что ссылки на них перестали работеть только после того, как я поделился ими с одним из пользователей, котоырй официально отношения к администрации не имеет. Все остальные ссылки, которые я отправлял в хелпдеск остаются без реакции и без ответа. Выходит, что вторая в мире по величине и объёму трафика биржа 3d-моделей не настолько велика по своим деяниям. Возникают подозрения, что некоторые люди в администрации CGT как-то связаны с некоторыми нечистыми на руку продавцами-"пылесосами". Сложилось впечатление, что ситуация, когда нечистые совестью продавцы торгуют краденными, слитыми из принт-сервисов и мастерских или собранными по пиратским пабликам на вконтакте моделями, ничуть не беспокоит CGT, либо же CGT намеренно выбрал такой путь с целью иметь в обороте много тысяч моделей, с которых всё-таки можно имметь какой-то процент. С точки зрения цели получения выгоды CGT можно понять. Этически -- нет. Абсолютно непроверенные и не проверяемые никем, топ-"дизайнеры" продолжают заливать тонны несвоих моделей на площадку, подстёгивая клиентов, стремящихся получить большее за меньшие деньги или бесплатно (это нормально, это естественно, это природа человека). Меж тем, честным дизайнерам и модельерам остаётся только уяснить для самих себя: своим трудом деньги не заработаешь, за свой

    что-то пошло не так на клавиатуре и сообщение улетело незаконченным... итак... Простым дизайнерам и модельерам, которые работают сами на себя остаётся лишь уяснить: ваш труд -- это не профессия, а хобби. С этого хобби будут иметь свою прибыль всякие шурики, кадкарты и прочие "пылесосы". И прямой контакт с такими "продавцами"-ворами обычно складывается в таком ключе: "Ну вперёд!.. А что ты сделаешь?". Практика показывает, что они и в самом деле привыкли к безнаказанности. И попытки исправить ситуацию также показывают, что в лучшую сторону ничего не изменится. Потому что нет квалифицированного содействия со стороны администрации. Модельеры для ювелирки, ЧПУ и 3д-печати издавна жаловались на неадекватность цен и затрачиваемых усилий, все эти разговоры ведутся столько, сколько я себя помню в этой индустрии, больше 15-ти лет. Но к 2019 году всё только ухудшилось. И статистика просмотров и продаж моделей это подтверждает. Ещё один смешноватый момент. Каждый раз, когда тапок правды становится на хвост таких "шуриков", они начинают канитель: "Чувак! Но ты же сам продаёшь модели известных брендов". Нет, ребята, я продаю модели, которые смоделировал своими руками. И речь идёт о продаже того материала, который модельер сделал сам. Вместе с этим также выползают всякие лицемерные наивыши, котоыре именно за это же начинают укорять. При этом сами не зудумываются, что не они тоже разработали и придумали большинство из всех этих интерьерных объектов, автомобилей и прочих моделей. Но они при этом приложили много сил и навыков, чтобы построить эти модели по нескольким референсным картинкам. Это серьёзный труд, и они его ценят, но только когда сами им занимаются. При этом они всё-таки считают, что какой-нибудь форд-фокус или айфон, сделанный ими в 3д-макс легален, а сделанный мной набор украшений, визуально повторяющий какой-нибудь картье -- это пиратство, воровство и зашквар. :)

    skapricorn
    И суммирую кратко: CGT не способен очиститься от краденых моделей для 3d-печати. Он не имеет нужных ресурсов, и квалификации, и, скорее всего, желания. Зато имеет процент с продаж. К сожалению, на данный момент CGT до сих пор остаётся лучшей и самой удобной площадкой для поиска, заказа, покупки и продажи 3d, то есть в других местах дела обстоят гораздо хуже.

    Ok I can absolutely understand you, not the text which is looking for me like hieroglyphs, but anyway: I could imagine that it is accepted form CGT because of one simple reason: CGT promotes itself as the biggest 3D Model Website in the World. To be the biggest Website you have to have the biggest amount of 3D Models. And who are the guys who uploaded the most models? You are right these incredible diligent "studios" which uploads thousands of models every month. But how it is possible that one Studio uploads so many models? 1. You worked for the last 20 years every day and was modeling every possible jewelry. 2. you are currently in a country where you have a "Studio" whit hundreds of "Employees" which model as fast as they can, because for every model they will get 20ct. 3. You really have some employees who download some models from some "suspicious" websites, download the preview of this model two and just upload them. Hmm, maybe there are more ways but I guess i can imagine which is the actual method. They also said that they have about 2 Million 3D Artists because they count every single Profile that means customers to, but they don't tell you that. (Search field: "Search 910 000 3D Models", with 2 Million Artist? not really!)

    This is freaking ridiculous. The same is happening with other models, just look at fancy interiors for $5 that is selling by chinese accounts - you can find same models with exactly same previous being sold by many different sellers. It's sad enough that one has to spend huge amount of personal time to gather evidence, but when CGT is closing eyes on evidence... it's just frustrating.
    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    Yes. I seen. It's VERY frustrating. Now i'm not completely decided, but i have strong will to ask administration after this "black friday sale" to suspend all my models, because I can not compete with thieves and fake "studios". I'm not sure now... but impulsively I want to boycott CGT in nearest future... I'm sure, if somebody will ask me in future how is selling or buying models here, I will answer: "Don't worth... Better try to crawling on VK.com publics and communities or on CGpeers/CGpersia". I hope, quality modeling for printing will die as soon, because current situation and system already came to dead end of any creative process and development and shitsellers are the kings of the hill.

    One example how works CGT.
    I needed pretty long time to prepare and to upload new item https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/rings/wedding-rings-with-inner-ornament I finished uploading and placed the model at ca 14-00 CET. Now is 17-10 CET and view of jewelry on CGT (sorted as "Newest") shows that only few users added new models. But my model is deep in butthole (~80th). 90% of today model flood made by cadcart via "batch uploading". Me and other authors have any chance to bee seen by buyers? (Answer is NO).

    Also today shitseller CadHolder1 added again same old copy of StGeorge ring (yesterday it was suspended after my reports) https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/rings/fancy-ring-dfa64f13-acff-48cf-b735-1622ba94190c

    I don't know what administration is doing. Seems like they are too busy to control what users are uploading :))

    And summarizing my last days activity I can say Thanks to CGT administration for suspending some models. But most of links still alive.
    I don't want to dig all this shit deeper and to pee against the wind.
    I noticed one more thing: last days I uploaded just 1 model, sold nothing ("black friday" is only for "top's"... not for dorks like me ), but gained lots of reputation points only because I played role of insane shitcrawler here on forum. I think it's absolutely wrong thing. I woul'd be much happier if I gained only half of quarter of this points not via flood but via publishing and sales. Life is life.

    I can conclude that my "fight against thieves" is failed. Fraudsters on CGT (as on the rest of Internet) will win every time and forever. Amen. Thanks.

    (Better I'll go to unload cars on the railway because it's easier and much better paid job).

    Unfortunatelly, fighting with thieves is very little rewarding experience. In digital world, it's much easier to steal, than to caught a thief. And even when the thieves get caught, they face no consequences. Worst that could happen to them, is closed account and lost small amount of money, accumulated during current month. Most of them immediately opens new account. Some even dares to brag about that in the forum. Solitary sellers can't do much about that. I believe that marketplaces could change the situation, if they wish, but the problem is, they don't mind the thieves. Pecunia non olet.

    This problem was neglected for far too long and reached extreme levels in the last 2-3years.
    All 3D marketplaces must realize that this can no longer continue and measures should be taken now.

    We may disagree on the methods, but I think we all agree this is a very serious issue which discourages all honest Artists here.

    As "starter" would be not bad premoderation of uploaded models. I know, it may be hard for CGT human resources, but it's one more reason to revise "batch upload" system. For example, author/seller may reach some "trust deal" and get some kind of "certificate" from CGT administration... I know... it's hard in terms of numbers, but it's very very very needed. But only this action may throw out illegal and bad (without needed description or with 100 repetitive views etc...) models.

    At this moment none of persons who multiple times tried to sell (and sold) stolen or free models as "own" works still not punished and still uploading shit again.

    Eureka!

    Why CGT employees can not just input on server some SQL-query to find and filter models from different sellers that have identical attributes (file extension, checksum and file size). During my "birdwatching" i noticed lot of times that most of fraudsters are selling the same FILES with common size and extension.

    (I don't pretending to anything, but it's really pretty hard: doing for free job of paid employees using only regular and buggy search tools of CGT... I'm interpreting my actions as investment to my and other fair designers better chances to be viewed and sold. But my mental health isn't rock-solid:)))))))) )

    Yes, exactly nothing happened and they even started protecting thieves and un-ban old banned thieves accounts. CGT now has a chance to prove that they are not the same. From what I have seen so far they do ban thieves.
    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    Yes, I know about bans as result of thief-hunters work here on CGT. But none of reported "sellers" of jewelry 3d-printable models is banned yet on CGT. They still working and dumbest of them ( Cadholder1) still uploading already suspended items again. Maximum that does CGT -- just and only suspends copies and clones, not more.

    They tend to be slow as they still don't have enough people working on this. If you had provided solid proof for 3-4 products on account it should be banned.
    skapricorn wrote

    I provided much more.
    trimitek wrote
    trimitek
    I suspect the reports info is not very well structured and organized on CGT side (if at all), so I will suggest you to gather your reports and order them to show clearly you had proof for more than 4 products per account and send that info to support. Tell us what happened after that.

    Example of identical file attributes (both from cadcart):

    https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/pendants/women-pendant-3dm-render-detail-ad09be6f-65ae-4936-8cfc-f8c803b4d26c
    https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/pendants/cube-pendant-3dm-render-detail

    The same renders, the same files: Rhino 3DM 67.6 MB

    I suppose cadcart don't knows he/she sells not only scam but has duplicates in own store :))))

    https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08101309

    They are in London but working more cynically than russians (comparing with russian Ritaflower or shurik-ryas (ok, shurik is from Donbass-dumbass and now living in Lithuania or Latvia, but it's "russian world")). HILARIOUS!!!!

    Ouhh, so this happens when two of these model stealing "Employees" steal exactly the same model, just upload it again. I am curious about what happens if there are no "real" modelers who upload stuff, do the thieves steal then their own models to upload it again?
    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    Mapro, "batch upload" another name is "throw, don't look" :) And more benefits for fraudsters: when they uploading suspended models again, they are gaining fresh rep.points (when model is suspended, it has no reflection on rep.points, rep.p decreases only if model is deleted, but admins don't delete, just suspends) Seems like with completely this tactics "works" Cadholder1.

    And I'm not tired of repeating: none of numerously compromised shitsellers (cadcart, shurik-ryas, cadholder-1, jewelry-cadder and so on) was punished.
    CGtrader looks not like a legal stock but more like pirates sandbox.

    Same model, same seller, but techically different views on the render and different files attributes. It's example of all dumbness of "Batch upload" system.

    I got message from administration team. They said they banned one fraudster because they found lots of stolen models in his store. I don't understood who it was. Perhaps it was some small shitseller. Big fishes (cadcart, shurik-ryas, jewelry-cadder etc. are still untouchable, but I hope, justice will hit them sooner or later)

    Anyway it's very significant event for 3d-print model sellers community.

    Yeah, the first picture is a different one, besides that, they are pretty much the same. But I think on the 3$ Pendant they sculpt a little more hair on the Cross itself.

    I think none of this "Authors" don't sculpted anything :) Yes, difference in background on the cross and may be in hair detailing is obvious. And if we can assign Jizzy-head as primitive object (like a sphere or a box) then those models are different... but wait a minute... overall composition, the font for INRI letters is also the same. uhmmmm (here must be placed meme with Philosoraptor))))))))))))

    I remember the base mesh of this dragon floating on internet at least since 2003-2004. Perhaps, to be the "author" just adding of some hilarious celtic bail or ring shank needed.

    Sorry for my emotional words. But I'm sure -- when designer or customer sees on the main page CGTRADER.COM list of "top designers" and on this top is placed THIEF who has NO ONE "legal" model (micheldogary) or cadcart (that is older than dogary, but also sell stolen stuff) (dont want to touch poops called shurik-ryas and jewelry-cadder)... WHAT THINKS CUSTOMER OR DESIGNER??? It's normal place or side-office of cgpeers/cgpersia??? It's really the biggest and the best 3d-model stock/marketplace today???

    1st breaking news: micheldogary-1 is BANNED.

    Second: I sent yesterday list of the links to compare models in micheldogary and shurik-ryas stores.

    The same collection is on sale in jewelry-cadder store (here is just few items. In the j-cadder's store placed more, but I think it's job for official CGT investigators).

    Another example (comparing shryas and cadcart). Dunno' is it reason for opening new support-ticket or not. Yes, I know, those rings can model every junior 3d-modeler and it demands not more than 5 minutes. But I suppose, it's not different items, but the same (some text is different), and if shapes will be compared, deviation would be in model tolerance values.

    =============================
    Justinas (CGTrader)

    Dec 19, 16:51 EET
    Hello there,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    We reviewed these models and everything seems to be in place.

    Kindly,

    Justinas
    =====================

    So I think it's good idea if I remove all previews from my models and place instead it googled memes.
    "Profit!" as said Cartman.

    LemonadeCG wrote
    LemonadeCG
    Don't worry, the seller with fake previews will only hurts himself. It's less likely that serious customers would buy the models with dubious previews and no description. It's also should be very easy to ask and get refund if the model significantly differs from the previews. My suggestion, try to focus on providing the best service for your own customers and worry less about shitty sellers, unless they show clear signs of selling illegally aquired assets.

    Pretty original method of fraud: no model views from any point but few worst photos and photoshoped pictures. No info about any model.

    Misleading model description (which photo shows model?) Or it's so advanced hyper-real renders made by very talented visualisator? Or models looking so bad? Or each item contains two different models?

    And so further.

    I already reported this seller to administration but they said: "All is right with this models". I don't understand the logic of admins. They don't cares about CGT reputation as 3d-marketplace?

    About jewelry-cadder: today i spent some time to dig into https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models?author=jewelry-cadder and wasn't surprised when found tons of models that were suspended in another fraudulent shops.

    For example, bunch of items are the same as in ritaflower shop, etc... I don't had enough patience to make big list. I just reported model by model to support. Circa dozen links just after fast scrolling and I inspected less than third of jewelry-cadder's shop.

    New store of "armenian generics" https://www.cgtrader.com/alexsandr22
    Link sent to support. But without "prooflinks" to earlier copies. Because "cartier's" are regularly cleaned away from CGT and because last weeks I reported those copies many times.

    I'm pretty tired of searching something using buggy CGT user interface, saying after each pair pages "I'm not a robot", and starting searching again because after "INR" "3d-print" attribute in search string disappears... and so further... So if admins needs "solid proofs", let new shitcopyseller still alive and healthy. May be he will upload in future more brilliant items and became new sweet jewelry-cadder, cadcart or shurik :) Pretty profitable way for CGT (number of models, traffic etc).

    Store contains a lot of previously deleted from CGTrader models (from "famous" stores of shurik-ryas, cadcart, ritaflower etc...) But I noticed that many models are dated as 2015.
    At least in this store I found again my old models of mushroom and "2006" ring.

    For example here is bunch of links to some models that were suspended in another stores or that are still present in other stores.

    And I don't seen this seller before (probably because lots of items were published not in "jewelry" section)
    Account looks inactive since 2018, but still selling passively.

    My old kitschy spider (few times suspended on CGT in different stores): https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/rings/madison-ring :))) I'm sure nobody wants this model (it's too ugly), it's why I never published it.

    I'm wrong. It's not clearly "my". It's based on my "spider"-ring (and may be combined from the few "work-in-progress" subversions) Anyway, here is the copy (probably there is non essential difference, but it still look like the same model but slightly changed): https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/rings/ring-man-spider And another one, but here seller at least done some job about remodeling the spider, adding bevels/fillets etc. so I can say it's another model just looking similar to previous: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/rings/signet-ring-spider-on-the-web

    etc. I have no time (and I'm not a worker of CGtrader company) to dig deeper into both stores, but there visually is lots of identical models. I hope i'll had time on some other day to found evidences about trantuan, but kikom3002 is definitely evidenced fraudster.

    Answer from support team: "Hi there, Our 3D team checked your link and advised that the models uploaded in Rhino software are more like a model creation tool, rather than models in a marketplace, it's quite difficult to decide on how these parameters can be manipulated. From what the 3D saw when checking the models, they have certain differences and there is a possibility that the seller has created the forms himself. For now, we wouldn't be able to remove the model from the marketplace. Thank you for understanding.".............. Not necessary to say "thank you" because i have no understanding.

    Request to CGT support was sent.

    And I know they will suspend "newer models" again without any serious consequences for scamsellers.
    Couple weeks ago I noticed CGT support about the fact that https://www.cgtrader.com/nguyenhuunhansea has lots of iterferring items with trantuan. Also I reported this horses (or copies) before. Without any effect. About nguen support replied their standard bullshit like "show us examples". But sorry, guys and ladies, are you working only for monthly salary? Why I must to dig this shit comparing hundreds and thousands models for done job that must be done by support or by mythic "investigation team" (I don't believe this team exists)..? I don't want to be polite. And I'll not apologize, because people not doing things that they MUST to do because it's their PAID JOB are doing nothing.

    One more typical armenian shitseller: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models?author=atjanur22

    I don't reported nothing this time to support team.
    And I hope it's my last post in this thread (thread I started... hehehehe).

    Summary: few fraudsters was suspended (some of them came to CGT again under new nicknames), lots of models was suspended. Sometimes I had illusion about effectiveness of this "fight". But now, looking at statistics, i want to say:

    with so PASSIVE administration, that cares only about reaching more models to their marketplace and don't cares about model quality, content quality, legality etc..., attempts to fight against fraudsters, scammers and pirates are worthless. Suspending models one by one is like trying to heal cancer with aspirin.

    I wasted too much time trying to "find evidences". I had to spend this time to creative or more useful things or jobs, but... Hope died.

    Last days I see again new uploads of different "authors" that are looking like I already seen that shit many times here on CGT. May be it's just my "deformation of mind" (but I don't think so).

    Hope died. Pirates won.

    ...And fuck the "fair play". CGtrader this days is just buggy trashyard with everyday technical issues and without any hope to survive selling models.

    Good luck.

    This days CGT published the article with pink oinks about "WE REACHED 1M MODELS!!!", with brilliant infographics etc.

    So what we see there: jewelry models shares almost 20% of all CGT models. How and why? Is 3d printable jewelry so popular?
    And how CGT reached those numbers for this fake statistic? How many copies and clones are present among all published models? And administrations does nothing to find clones, fakes, scam. But dumb marketing employees are sending spam trying to promote stupid SALE OFF (WWWEEEEEE!!!! HOORRRRRRRAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!) And this infographics and published statistics worths NOTHING. It's just meaningless pictures intended for fake business presentation to "investors", "partners" and "shareholders".

    For example: today on the top of the "Top designers" in last 7 days became TOMASNIKOS (about +9K of reputation during last week due to 476 uploaded models in last 7 days). "Top" status was reached only due to NUMBER of uploaded models (with the lack of information etc...)

    What I see looking to tomasnikos store? https://www.cgtrader.com/tomasnikos
    The same old familiar shit, the same heap of models that were suspended many times in other stores (shurik-ryas, ritaflover, numerous armenian "designers" ets). Some of the models are in High-Poly category, some of other items placed in Jewelry category... OK. Going further, opening this set: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/rings/500-stl-files-ready-for-print On the screenshots are shown some item codes. Let's googling by these codes. Result: british online store called https://www.angelicdiamonds.com/ whole collection. ETC.

    Again. I don't want to piss in the wind and report this "Top Designer" to administration. I'm sure, admins and supports are not blind. If they are not completely retarded or blind, they MUST to see what this is: repeats, copies, familiar stuff... And they are doing NOTHING until somebody don't reported those shit officially and don't provided "evidences".

    One fair designer in private conversation said very right words: "I'm glad that i never got interested in jewelry design and modelling - seeing that 1/5th of the marketplace is concentrated in hands of dozen sellers with questionable reputation, would make me want to cry." All I can add to this: not 1/5th of the market place, but significantly more in the fact. Who is the SUPERHERO? Answer FUTAO. What offers FUTAO? The same shit: 100K of useless low quality JCAD/JCD models of jewelry priced lower than pint of the beer... So 10% from 1M of all published models "belongs" to just ONE person. Competitive? Overcrowded market? :))))

    My recommendation to other authors/designers/sellers: don't trust in CGT statistics because it worth not more than all modern "fake news" like RussiaToday or FOX channel :))))))

    Another hero of the week: https://www.cgtrader.com/atjanur22
    Reported to administration MANY TIMES. Feels strong and healthy with all hilarious fakes and copies. +4500 reputation due to 240 uploads in the last week. What's this content? The same traditional range of "armenian" jewelry: panthers, tiffanies, nails etc... Some of thumbnails looks very very familiar (for example "Spartak" ring were placed befor in "anush" and her clones stores).

    Also: not reported to administration. I don't want to report it. Because result will be NOTHING.

    Summary for today (21/05/2020): HZniloom and roza-jewelry both reported to CGT support with THREE cases of synchronous uploading of the same pirated models. Also both stores were reported because there placed lots of identical models. CGT support team still silent and take no action (first report was sent today's early morning...) ...so the strategy of CGtraqder's team is very clear: they don't fighting against piracy but only takes fake actions around foggy "laws" like suspending "weapons" and taking similar decorative steps.

    Give them some time - the support can't blindly trust every report and remove assets without investigation. If eveidence are as clear as you described, i'm sure it wont take long before fraudsters will be punished.

    Also, before bashing cgtrader support, next time try to report some stolen item on another marketplace - i'm pretty sure you'll soon be convinced that cgtrader actually doing pretty decent job at fighting the thieves. Others doing it much worse and some does absolutely nothing.

    That is pathetic - the same sellers are caught to be selling stolen items time and time again and all cgtrader does, is removing reported assets, but does absolutely nothing to the sellers themselves. Is there any point in this?

    skapricorn wrote
    skapricorn
    Aha :) As I know (support informed me about a week ago, when I reported previous cases from those sellers), support sent them notification about inadmissibility of simultaneous upload and about lots of interfering items in both stores... but (probably) who cares about notifications?..

    @skapricorn, that's even worse - if sellers have been warned and they continue to commit the same fraud, that should be followed with immediate ban. Otherwise cgtrader just shows that they have no authority in their own marketplace. P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C.

    ≠≠≠≠≠≠
    Thanks for "doing" your job. But I see NO results. Both accounts still have duplicated items and still uploading duplicates. Every day.

    I see the cloned models that I reported days and weeks ago. That's not reuploaded items. That's the same models...

    And another duplicates I find in both stores after simple searching (I asked your team to compare content that both fraudsters are selling few weeks ago. And now I see: CGT is done nothing except suspending of few models I reported).

    I informed clayguy about it. And not reported romanroman's item (let clayguy does it)...
    About romanroman: this pukeeater has LOTS of pirated items. But CGT's approach gives no hope to suspend his account. Old models are "untouchable". But at least new uploads shows who he is...

    Adding the row of gems to commercial base model don't makes "new" model legal.

    New catch. Non-jewelry :)

    https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models?high_poly=1&author=nozakiyuiki&sort_by=oldest

    Is it legal at all?

    1. More than 200 models were uploaded last 2 days. I know, it's "legal", but suspicious.

    2. Each weapon model contains all parts. So anybody who buys this can use it as reference for producing real gun. I know. between 3d-max model and true CAD model is very very wide gap, but when "decorative" (non-CAD) 3d model contains all needed parts at least visually, it helps to rework it as normal CAD assembly without special hassle.

    3. Another suspicious thing from "asian" user with japanese nickname: For example, this model https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/gun/zis-3-weapon-3d-model-with-animations contains parts that has partially russian ID/names. And this https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/military/gun/mosin-nagant-weapon-3d-model-with-animations -- also.... Perhaps russian language is very popular in China and Japan and lots of chinese/japanese knows Russian and uses it during modeling to call parts with russian names...

    4. I'm not as good in detecting non-jewelry piracy, I'm not animator/game modeler/generalyst... But seems like internet is full of identically looking models (and some of those models has more reasonable bigger price that reflects how much designer invested into his job)... For example, on CGT is present some older model (as far from 2014) of similar ZiS-3 gun, but I can't say is it the same mesh or not. It's job for CGT employees.

    Anyway it's the job for mythic CGT's "investigation team". I sent request to support (of course only with question about legality of detailed weapons assemblies)

    Instead of be suspended both cloned models (uploaded yesterday) appeared on the jewelry page with the default sorting ("best match"). https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry

    In case you didn't notice - it's weekend. Give cgtrader some time and i'm sure those models will be removed. As for promoting... this is done automatically by the system - if certain model meets specific criteria, it gets on the first page. I'm pretty sure cgtrader does not want intentionally promote suspicious items.

    All those models was uploaded last night by https://www.cgtrader.com/aadnaan

    Also fresh uploads by aadnaan contains packages of signet rings that looks similar to packs that are selling by BAASU ( https://www.cgtrader.com/baasu ), Marco Langobardi ( https://www.cgtrader.com/marcolongobardi01 ), Jworx ( https://www.cgtrader.com/jworx ), ArtChahur ( https://www.cgtrader.com/artchahur ) etc. But those ring shanks can be reproduced easy, so I can't be sure that it's clones (however it looks suspicious)

    Banned last monday "original-jewelry-3d" returned to CGT as "ipsum" last weekend. https://www.cgtrader.com/ipsum
    I detected him when he uploaded "panther's head" (I reported it not via ticket but using "report" button on the model's page). Suspicion that ipsum is original-jewelry-3d proved when he started to upload the same content as were in o-j-3d store (replicas... I don't reporting those replicas as pirated because it's pretty well rendered but technically ugly enough models and each of this replica looks similar to others but not same)

    Older model: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-models/jewelry/rings/elephant-ring-e1054bf4-9c39-4074-ad99-85bb05693e61

    I see, technically it's different models. But the main element of both models has absolutely identical base model of the elephant (in case of newer model maybe those elephants are slightly better processed).

    Hudda-hagga isn't classic pirate, he/she is 3d-modelist, but he/she uses stolen 3d-models to assembly their own models. I know it 100% because I had the clash with "hudda" once when I found on CGT model that used my free model (tennis racket) as element of more complex hudda's model (it was used in hudda's "olympic pendant"). So I don't know is it piracy or not (in terms of official rules).

But i think really technical department of CGT has 5-6 employees. It can be not bad at all (if CGT was coded good, had strong servers, brilliant automation on the server side without bugs etc etc etc)... but in reality CGT shows each month new bugs and not becoming but already became very unstable (and maybe insecure)... I know, if the profit goals of CGT managers allows to "squeeze" more, they will do it till the apocalypse... but what about reputation (not users internal "reputation" but real business reputation)?

    I won't to search "evidences"... it's investigation team business. But obvious attributes of piracy here are at least "fusion/ultravision" models, appeared "here and there and everywhere" on the CGtrader many times.

    Each time when I reported those models to support, they asked me about "evidences", but sorry, lazy and sneaky CGT guys, only you can parse, compare complex models uploaded on your servers. You know perfectly that I was and still right about all this models, but probably you have your inner instructions to not touch this shit.

    Another newcomer and "top-star" of last couple weeks https://www.cgtrader.com/perdono is also primitive pirate.
    All attributes of piracy are here: speedy batch upload, familiar looking models, items identical to many others from another sellers...

    I don't report him only because i have not enough free time to dig CGT, and CGT still working not smooth, sluggish and buggy (at least with connection from my country).

    But other models are also "stolen".

    For example here is original "animal ring": https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2173984 (on this thingiverse's page are also shown remixes of those rings that proves identical models from thingiverse and from this user called "andrejaques-b").

    hello, I don't know if anyone will still read this message.. I was calmly downloading free models on this site with a free license and today I came across this topic from you stating that there are fraudulent designers... this also goes for users with designers free? because, if I have and have a chance of downloading one of these models, I would like not to risk having my indie game affected in any way because of these models!...
    sorry for the text! jajaja

    trimitek wrote

    Yes, there is a risk. Be especially cautious if it's a complex models that takes a lot of time to make. It's extremely rare for a designer to put a lot of effort in making something and then just give it away for free. Scammers and fraudulent seller usually just download those from pirate sites and don't even realize the real value of the model.

    some free models downloads have chance those model are from other designers. i recommend buy or downloads from trusted old seller(you can check their store how many models they have and how old their store are by checking their old model date). usually paid models are better then free downloads model because its secure and safe with license.

    I understand, it's really a good idea to try to download models from older users, it's more reliable in a way, although I think there's still a risk of one of them also defrauding one or another object... however, the issue of buying models gets complicated for me because of the appreciation of the dollar, I'm Brazilian. :/

    yes trimitek, I started downloading on this site and even found it strange at first that many models are very realistic that certainly wouldn't be free models on other sites but I thought it was good after reading the CGtrader forum but I had no idea that the guys could be doing that. :/

    "Older" isn't equal "safer".. CGT don't removed MOST of old pirates. Or may be CGT's "suspension" was temporary action for them. Somebody just changed username, others even hasn't changed anything. Scumsellers and price ruiners won. I see the same crap every day in "newest models" and don't want to bury my time for "evidence searching" and reporting of duplicates or pirated models. I don't care anymore. Capitalist hypocrisy is stronger. Facade of CGT says: "Rules! Copyright! bla bla bla". But other mouth (somewhere near from the butt) is whispering true mantra: "Numbers!!! Traffic!!! Money!!!"

    I was testing something here just out of curiosity.. I took the main image of some random models from this site and sent it to google images, some other sites appeared after I searched for the model image, while in others it only appeared from the CG trader.. I know that still wouldn't be enough to prove that a model wasn't defrauded but could already serve as a basis maybe which models were defrauded or not?
