Instagram photos being used by others.

Hey everyone! Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes:

I was on instagram doing a hash tag search for #noble1, and came across a photo that was taken by me, but posted by someone else stating it was for sale. Upon looking at my stolen photo, I saw that this person was asking to text him for more details.

That photo was one I posted 5 weeks earlier.

Just wanted to pass along the information and to ask you all to be smart, and safe when conducting transactions. I hope this post helps us all be aware of this type of scam.

Thank you for the heads up.

Haha I saw this too. Thanks for the heads up. On the other hand, maybe he/she was too lazy to take their own pic? Just maybe. Doubtful though, since a user on instagram would be capable of taking a pic... anyway, thanks.

I hope you texted him and busted him out and also posted to the same hash tags he did advising people not to fall for it.
