NY POST – Aug 12 – NSI Holdings Limited, a London-based dating company ripped off a married Florida cop's photo to promote their dating site – UniformDating.com, leaving him "furious" amid unexpected questions from friends and his wife, according to a new lawsuit. David Guzman, a police officer, claims NSI Holdings stole a personal Facebook photo from his private account and then misappropriated the image on the dating site. Guzman contacted the company to demand that his snaps be removed immediately, but NSI Holdings demanded that he provide proof of his identity before taking them down. Guzman complied with that request, yet the images are still being used by the site in social media spots, according to Guzman's lawsuit, which was filed in US District Court in Miami. In response, NSI Holdings sought for the suit to be dismissed in a court filing on Friday, claiming Guzman or someone close to him actually created the UniformDating.com profile, adding that he's not in an "enviable" position.
