    You should use report function on every social media he is. I see he's using other agencies work so I let them know about that. I hate scum like this, don't leave it or say "he win this time", these parasites work like this exactly for this reason because they know not a lot of people will find out and will not bother to take action or report, let alone go to court

    Lol, great story. It happened to me as well a couple of times. I actually interviewed a guy for a position, and he submitted his portfolio using my works. And once I had a guy use my freebies and put them to sale. At first I got very angry, but then I realized that these guys just live off the crumbs falling from the table of others. It's such a pitiful sight that now I feel sorry for these kind of people, and I don't chase after them anymore. It just takes your energy and focus from moving forward. Keep up the great work man!

    There are some sites like who is or ICANN to find out the issuer of his domain name then you can report the web domain as stolen content. He'll possibly lose access to his web page if you can find his host provider.
    You can try reverse image search on his contents to find the original sources and maybe organize at least, the threat of, a class action lawsuit against him. Maybe if 20-plus people all came at him at once that could be enough push?
    There is always something you can do else there would be more people like him

Stupid clowns. The people i bothered emailing about it always took it down, and then i assume copied someone elses work. Even one of my former clients decided to start his own web design business and copied all the content from my website to put on his website which i designed for him previously, when i brought it up with him he denied it. Lots of clowns around.

    Don't worry that your work has been copied. Worry when your work is not copied! A copy will always be a copy. The original is always the original. What we did yesterday was yesterday, today is a new day, which means a new project! Someone is given to create unique original things, and someone can only copy other people's ideas and projects. Today, everything is developing rapidly, yesterday's project becomes history instantly. You are full of fresh ideas and constantly developing, you have invaluable experience that you share with your audience. This is very cool! Everyone knows the truth. Such copiers are one huge monster with thousands of heads, and it is worth cutting off one head, thousands of new ones appear in its place. You can spend your time creating cool projects, or you can spend your time fighting a monster. One gives energy, the other way takes it away.
    Your work will always be yours. You are unique! Your work is unique. Your path is unique! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, it's appreciated. They will not catch up with you, they are always one step behind you. While they are copying your project, you will make dozens of new ones. My respect to you

      I have had designed copied but this is like another level. As designers we are all inspired and as creatives we are looking at other design for inspiration. That is 100% normal. A designer can come up with unique trend setting design styles/language that has global reach at some point but in general we have a bundle of inspiration in the right hemisphere of our creative brains. We see other great design and it influence how we design. Great ideas can be "re used" by other designers without like in this case just stealing it pixel by pixel. Like the revealing circle you have that is a great idea but its not the first time or the last time it will be used by designers in their way. But that is inspiration and realizing a good idea and deploying it if you have a project it can benefit from. And to your comment reply bellow we should all try and report this both on social platforms and in general to stop this!! Sorry for long text :)
