Stealing Authority Authors for My Posts, that are Not Written by Them

    I know that Google ranks posts that are written by high-quality writers more. I plan to go to big sites like Forbes, find writers, and steal them. I will only post their photos and byline, so it will appear that they wrote it.

    I write the posts on my blog. But actually, it will appear that someone else, an expert in my niche, wrote it.

    Is there a place for someone to report me to Google for this and what will be the consequences? Does Google have a report tab for such a thing?

    How the authors will react if they see that? What consequences to expect?

    Actually, this will only boost their reputation, find them more clients, and so on. I don't do anything negative against them.

    Yes, there is a place to report this..
    But it really doesn't matter, as the content won't rank well enough to be found. In most cases, Google instantly knows you have scraped the content.

    It really depends on goals. There are so many website aggregators these days and they syndicate hundreds of articles, almost word for word, and they never get penalized but never also get rank well.

    But in terms of copyright, I don't think you will be in trouble, as the photos and names from original writers has been cited.
