The stock photo I almost paid $400 for turned out to be my own illustration

Last Tuesday I was bidding on a design job and the client sent me a mood board with this perfect vintage-style cactus illustration. I nearly licensed it for 400 bucks before I noticed the signature in the corner. It was my own piece, stolen from my portfolio two years ago by a fake agency account. I reverse image searched it, found it on three stock sites, and filed takedown notices on all of them. Anyone else ever had your own work sold back to you?
