I'm sure that a lot of people use these sites for entirely legitimate reasons. 

My own situation is artwork production for a company manufacturing (among other things) reflective badges for personal protective equipment & signs for a wide range of end users, including multi-national corporations & government agencies. 

My problem is mostly that our direct client is probably a garment maker or an industry supplies wholesaler, looking out for his margins, who is talking to a buyer, who thinks that cheap is beautiful & wouldn't recognise a brand identity document if it bit him on the nose. 

Then of course, we have the client confidentiality  aspect, & a sales team who need to close the deal so much that they can't understand why you aren't able to produce (say) a 300mm wide spot colour/vector version of the MS Windows logo from a 72dpi *.gif d'ld from the web. 

Actually, my favorite (and it isn't that uncommon!) type of artwork is a fax, of a photocopy of an an embroidered badge (I really don't want to upset any embroiderers out there, but it doesn't help me). 

Maybe we could start a thread to compare outrageous artork offerings. 

Apologies to all, I've started to ramble a bit, but I do feel better for it.
