Although I am strongly against plagiarism happening here in the forum the screenshots of where the alleged "plagiarism" have taken in place really has no bearing under the fair use policy of our copyright laws. Below is just a given example of the mere definition of what fair use means on using copyrighted work such as images, videos, music, and of course written work is covered by the fair use policy.

fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

From what I am seeing with the screenshots you have posted they are just merely commenting on you being busted in your scam, so really there is no plagiarism happening when they used your photos as they have used it to identify the scammer's identity. So what it seems to me is you are just here asking for the mods to cover your tracks and hide your identity again in the forum.
