BUSTED: @alena_ste1 is an Art Thief Catfish!

Twitter user " @alena_ste1 " has just been exposed for their questionable online behavior. It has been brought to light that this individual has been engaging in deceitful practices by utilizing images stolen from Reddit and artwork taken from YouTube and the Facebook artist "JOSH Art". This act of plagiarism and misrepresentation has not gone unnoticed, as it's a constant problem for the art community. The incident took an interesting turn when the catfishing art thief attempted to reach out to me via direct message on Twitter, under the assumption that I was just another random eGirl. However, I quickly noticed something amiss. Although the artwork on the account seemed familiar, I couldn't immediately pinpoint its origin. This led to a series of investigative steps to uncover the truth behind the stolen content. In a clever move, I managed to coax the catfish into making false claims about creating the artwork themselves and providing misleading information about its origins. Through diligent research and sleuthing, the original artist's account and posts were eventually located, shedding light on the dishonest practices of "@alena_ste1".

As expected, "Alena" quickly blocked me upon realizing that the lie had been uncovered. However, as of writing this post, the user has not attempted to remove the stolen artwork or images from their account. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting intellectual property and giving credit where it is due. It also highlights the power of the online community in uncovering and addressing instances of plagiarism and deception. Such actions not only harm the original creators but also erode trust and integrity within online spaces.

Proof @ScottHolyk doesn't take Rejection Well.
