    Jan/31/11 - Doesn't the person in this picture look familiar?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Professional-Bel...ht_3046wt_1141

    I was browsing through costumes on ebay and saw this listing. Is this Michelle Joyce and isn't that a Bella costume? This seller claims he makes handmade costumes.

    Yup..sure does look a lot like Michelle to me!!!!!! Funny how this guy is making "Egyptian style" costumes based on a very, very well known beloved Turkish Designer...shame on him!

    Some of the costumes also look like they have come from Mohamed Gomaa & Mohamed Ali's Facebook pages.

    Don't know if it will help, but every time I see this kind of thing happening I file a report with ebay.
    Everyone should file a report for copyright infringement re photo and fraudulent dealings re Bella costume. if everyone does it then Ebay will be forced to sanction him.

    hmm... right here on this listing there is an ad for "BellyDance.com" displaying Sandra wearing a Bella costume. BellyDance.com does not sell Bella's costumes and Sandra may not have given permission for her photo to be used in this ad. Who should be notified? This is false advertising and most likely a copyright issue.

    they are definily copies as on fb of Mohamed Ali You can see same pics and I recognize this from his Nilegroup bazar views. Also Hannan pictures are copies. I wouldn't trust this guy as one time ago I had some problems with man name Mohamed Abdo and this auctions are alike his. There is a whole thread about him in unreliable vendors. He keep changing his nick and create new accounts on ebay...

    This isn't the first time (or the first thread) this guy has shown up on regarding his "borrowed" dancer pictures and designs. Seems he'll remove the pictures if asked but then, like now, goes and does it again.
