Jeffery Muzilla, also known as Jeff Zephix, Zephix Studios, iZephix, and DarkZephix, has been fraudulently parading himself around Cleveland as a local "photographer".
His "images", were an unusual high quality. He was even making claims to be an official photojournalist for National Geographic.
He started to generate a buzz and gather Facebook friends rather quickly, and has publicly been asking those friends to increase his friend count (has an infatuation with reaching the 5,000 friend limit) by suggesting all their friends to him so that he can sell prints.
Over time though, some local photographers were getting tips from people that they saw Jeff using their images and playing them off as his own. This upset them greatly, so they reported the images as stolen and Facebook removed them. This shows he was also not very smart, because why steal from local photographers, but then add everyone you can from Cleveland? People were going to recognize those pictures and who they really belonged to, and did.
