I joined DUP a couple years ago. Samantha Campbell aka Virgin Poet copied over 10 of my pieces and plagiarized them not only on DUP, but on other sites as well. I managed to get her deactivated on DUP, as well as the other sites I joined. Finally today after attempting on several occasions I was able to get my work removed from her page from WC. I was informed by the owner of the site, that they deactivated her account and also blocked her IP address from regaining access to the site.
You can search her on WC and it will show her account has been closed by administration.

Fair play, it's been an ongoing struggle here since I joined about three years ago. there's been countless attempts to have work removed, the Admin here even contacted WC. lately there has been a huge effort from this site to have work removed from the Cafe.
well done, there will be many happy poets on reading the news

I guess Amazon or the publishing company could be my next contact.

This is great news. While I don't think anybody has stolen any of my stuff, it makes me happy to see others get their identity back. Poems are personal! Not to be stolen!

Edited: I worried about the other profiles she has, but like, lepperochan stated. Her IP has been blocked, so she won't be able to access the other accounts. Sorry you guys I'm just a touch paranoid. :/

just an added note, from what I have uncovered, she has profiles under the assumed named of Poetry Girl. Each time that I have managed to get her Virgin Poet page deleted, Poetry Girl pops up and posts in her defense. So its either her or shes got one hell of a friend with no life.
