Counterfeit Map & Dice Playing Cards

I'm finding pirated copies of my Inked Adventures Map & Dice playing cards. They even use my own product photos.

The following sites are NOT legitimate sellers of my products and are possibly criminal in nature.

Lakefeesc
Yansauet
EDCgadget (on Amazon)

Any one selling identical cards under a brand called "Lacesi" are selling fakes.  Sometimes they appear on the Alibaba sites.  I do NOT sell through Alibaba.

I DO NOT receive any income from those sites.

I also do not sell through Amazon.  I am currently unable to list my cards on Amazon because, despite being the artist and designer, my products do not have specific retail codes - a restriction created to limit counterfeited goods.  This does not stop sellers of the pirated cards, but Amazon has regularly honoured my requests for listings to be removed when I have reported them.

My main outlet for the playing cards is on Etsy, with print on demand options on US-based DriveThruRPG and The Game Crafter.  Sometimes I sell on Ebay as BilliamBabble and on Folksy (see links in the margins of this site for links to my Etsy storefront or visit the products page).
