The one positive as others have mentioned is that these guys won't go very far IMHO without the skills to back up the stolen pictures of "their" handiwork.
Basically, but hopefully we can prevent someone from getting ripped by just educating em to do their homework on the service provider before sending off their knives. If it were me sending to a unfamiliar provider I'd request pix of their work with their service name (if they have one) and date and time in the pix. Obviously past costumers knives wouldn't be available to do that, but chances are they should have personal knives they've worked on.
