I had a similar occurrence with a young man from South Africa who had the whole of my tree, including every single photo, certificates etc. In his tree.
I queried this and he said he had an interest in my family and that was that.
It left me fuming.

Hi lovely rootschatters,
Yesterday I logged into my Ancestry account as I do daily to check my new DNA matches and do a little family history research on my family tree which I have built up with my own verified research over the last 25 years.
I noticed a lady who I have brief cordial messages with, no more than half a dozen exchanged between us due to the fact that she shares very distant DNA between us only 10cm and a closer match with my son 124cm on his paternal line in which we both know how my son is connected to her.
I noticed yesterday she has the whole of my family tree and research appeared on her own Ancestry page listed as B family tree.
How on earth has she managed to transfer the whole of my tree onto her Ancestry page ?
I definitely have not given her an invite to share my tree over to her although my tree is public on Ancestry.
My tree has only 800 names on it all totally verified with lots of hard graft and money dedicated to it,hers has nearly 60,000 people on.
What would you lovely rootschatter do ? Message her regarding this or ignore it ?
For me this is really upsetting....any advice would really be appreciated. Thank you so much for taking time to read my message.
Warmest regards...Helen.
