I just received this email:


What happens on 15th April?
All your photos and personal information will be permanently removed from our servers.

I still have unused image credits…
You’ll need to use all your remaining credits before 15th April, otherwise you will lose them.

What happens to the images I’ve purchased?
They will be permanently removed. To prevent losing them, you should download all your purchased photos to your computer.

What happens to the images I’ve uploaded?
They will be permanently removed. All related model/property releases will also be removed.

I haven’t received a payout for my last month…
If you have a balance of more than $25.0 (excluding bonuses) please contact us in order to receive a payout. All payouts will be sent after 15th April.
If you have less than $25.0 you can convert your earnings into credits and purchase photos from Fotomind until 15th April. Contact us for more infomation.

What happens to my Fotomind account?
All your personal information provided on Fotomind will be permanently deleted, with no exceptions.

I have more questions…

Well, another one is closing this year. Here is the email I received:

Dear Member:

They tried I guess, but never really brought in any stock buyers. I wonder who will be next?
