The guy who sell them just catted all images and putted his credits on my work.
I contacted support and got answer that I need to ask help from DMCA.
They by themselfes do nothing with thefts.
Here the answer:

No one of markets I know allows thefts to sell on their places. All markets investigate such cases and take action. I had cases in Torbosquid in Unity, in Unreal in CGtrader even in iClone market.
I heard about Second Life, but never interact with them. Is their behavior shows that they support piracy and thefts? If your are owner of market is it your duty to keep it legal. Isn't it?
Especially if Second Life make money on pirated assets which thefts sell on Second Life market.
Maybe I miss something?
Someone had experience with Second Life market?
Thank you!
P.S. I also advise authors to take a look if someone re-sell their assets on Second Life Market.
For example, when I made search for horses I so several similar to horses can be fond here.

What? This is ridiculous! Why would they ask to send DMCA by fax, when they could insist on sending it in a bottle by a sea? It's like they actually want to receive delivery.
Ya their policies are not very consistent either. Another thing pretty prevalent in SL is virtual child pornography and childplay. All you have to do is report them. You don't need fax them a police a report for something to be done about it. Unlike when people copy your stuff. CGtrader should do more to protect the works uploaded here.
