Artist Impersonator


Sometime life is stranger than fiction but this is a first for me: someone is impersonating yours truly!
Recently, I discovered a Bangladesh born artist currently living in Toronto, has copied a major part of my biography from my site, www.alfred.ca and only changed the year, name and the country. The worst is he also uses my works as his own!
At his site, site www.nandonnikfinarts.com at the page of “about us” he has this link www. nandonikfinearts.com which open to my site!
.I suspect he been doing this for some time because I updated my site about a year ago and from his description of his work( my work) were from the older version.
I checked on his site he runs an art school at his studio for kids and was using my site to promote his class. He does display his own works at his site and they are very different from mine.
I had never meet this person, Mohibul Islam I really don’t know the real reason for him to do this? Was he trying to boost his own art career with someone else CV and portfolio?
