外贸网站图片侵权骗局
最新收到了一封邮件,说是我们网站的图片侵权了,邮件的内容大概像下面这种(非原邮件内容)

刚收到时确实是有点担心的,因为正常的外贸网站不可能所有的图片都是来自于自己公司或者都是自己公司拍摄的原图,肯定会从网上或是其它渠道寻找一些图片素材。所以是有担心网站上的某张图片侵犯了别人的版权,而且这封邮件写的很像那么回事,列出了我们网站的域名,还附了一个pdf侵权说明链接(现在已经无法打开),我打开查看了下,是一个大几十页的PDF全英文说明,没有仔细看里面的内容,但是大概是介绍图片侵权法案建立的过程。而这个骗子聪明的地方是不说你哪个图片侵权了,也不说你具体问题,而是让你自己看这个大几十页的PDF,好在我英文还可以,如果是自己英文不好的,而且文件是图片版本的PDF无法使用在线翻译,那可能就真头大的,信以为真,一步步的真的有可能被骗。
虽然我基本上百分百确定这就是骗子邮件了,不过为了安全起见,我还是回了一封邮件,大概内容如下
第一,我收到的你的邮件
第二,我们网站上所有的图片都是我们自己实拍的,不存在侵权的问题
第三,你说我网站图片侵权了,请具体指出哪个链接中的哪张图片侵权了
第四,请向我提供你说的这张侵权图片的所有权证明文件
发完邮件后一起没有收到对回复,我就没再理这个事了。
后来我在网上搜索了一下相关内容,发现类似这种的骗子邮件特别多,所以如果你也遇到了这种情况或是收到了类似的邮件,先不要下结论,可以先上网搜索下是否有相同经历的,看看大家都是怎么处理的,总之一条,不要经易相信这种邮件,哪怕你真的有图片不是自己拍的,侵权了,被别人找上来了,也没关系,在收到对方通知后立刻删除网站上侵权的图片信息,问题也不大,一般都不会再追究了。
