Boulevard of Photographers Kyrta Reeves scam, money extortion, credit card scam, fraud, fake, not real, photography, contest scam, copyright infringement, illegal Internet
"Boulevard of Photographers" and "thephotochallenge.com" repeated scam.
This site claims to offer a contest for professional and amateur photographers to submit their works for a chance at winning a cash prize and being published in a "Best of 2012 Anthology" book. After submitting work(s) and your e-mail, you receive an e-mail to confirm your e-mail address and eventually a direct e-mail claiming that your submission has been chosen to be published in this 'anthology' book.
Among the various options in the form of links within the e-mail is a link to the page in which you can choose to purchase a copy of this book, a biography (?) and a plaque. It looks like a typical payment page with all of the usual fields but NO guarantees, no official documentation or signs that it is true.
I decided to search around to see anyways after fully making up my mind that it was not legitimate. To my assurance, it is in fact a scam attempting to abuse your credit card information as well as steal your money WITHOUT supplying any sort of book or other orders.
This is a real scam and originally went by another website name but was shut down due to this very reason, that it was identified as a scam, and is now under this new url (and probably a few others). PLEASE for your own safety do not supply ANY information to this site or any linked to it and do not provide any personal/original works to this site for its claims are false and your works will be stolen and abused.
**Please let others know about this scam and report it.
