TurboSquid stealing money

Hi, i just opened this thread to share my frustration with turbosquid.
I was checking my TS reports, like i do everyday, and noticed a ticket that TS support opened to contact me, saying that i had a copyright infraction on a product. very well, i answered asking what product, so i could do something about it, like defend myself and prove that the product was mine, but the only answer i got was this

There are other venues in the 3-D Marketplace where you can post.
We ask that you not continue to open tickets on this matter.
and they never told me what have i done.
funny thing, that happened like 5 days before i was about to receive almost a hundred dollars, when my sales were increasing more than 100%, and i was about to become a silver member. got banned for no reason at all, and obviously i didn't get my money.
doesn't it looks suspicious? and TS is Autodesk's official source huh... lame...
despite of that, 55% cut for new members is a rip off. that's stealing, and i would sure sue them if i was in the US.
gonna post a screenshot of the whole conversation later.

My friend. I had almost the same thing. The difference was that wasn't a silver member. I had like 3 sales in total for I think it was 2-3 years.

I did the same when they said that I posted someones else work as mine. I had opened like 3 ticket to find out what the product was, and how can I prove my self innocent and fix it, but they instead said the same sentence to me too.

That happened few years ago, and then I just left. But my problem was pretty obvious, my UN and PW was the same, so anyone could have hacked in my files, but still... they should at least tell me the name of artist who had the same product.

P.S. That's life, I had an idea to sew them but I also don't live in US, so that sucks, so I just gave it up, and found this forum and its selling portal witch is really cool ;)

Cheers
