Follow all of the advice. Only thing I’d add is maybe change something about your site so it’s demonstrably different and you can tell folks what to look for in addition to doing all of the legal stuff.
Are you implying you’ve regularly been on the other side? lol

I got scammed about a month ago, so I’ve been on that side but not this side.

I was kinda rooting for you to be a reformed scammer.
How expensive is it to buy a DDoS attack on the cloned site?

I’ve already thought of that and my boss doesn’t want to.
I know people who are active in those scams. They use bulletproof hosts & registrars. So I’d suggest you not waste your time filing reports. The best you can do to stop them is put a warning on your site. Stopping them is literally impossible & unfortunately law enforcement gives 0 fucks.
@Emerson
We managed to contact their registrar and they nuked the domain name and account, but I know that means the fully finished website is on some host somewhere and they’ll probably be back under a new domain name later.
@Justice
Glad to hear, you’re lucky then. The “professional” ones are using bulletproof registrars and hosts who ignore DMCA. Regarding relaunching the dupe - I know that Google Safe Browsing can flag HTML/CSS/JS source code, so if you manage to get them flagged by Google Safe Browsing somehow, then they won’t be able to relaunch the dupe without recoding it.
You do it with a legal notice. There is no reasonable technical means to achieve this.

Didn’t Funko take down itch.io last week, without a legal notice?
@Noor
It matters because you said, ‘There is no reasonable technical means to achieve this,’ but there is.
Do you mean the legal system as in court and stuff? I don’t think that’s it. You’re supposed to go to their host service and report via their channels, since they are responsible for not hosting illegal stuff.
I saw this video; maybe it’s interesting to you: https://youtu.be/A-IJ5QmeXpk?si=n3TWNtPpknNj_grG
How are they stealing credit card numbers?

I’m not sure of the specifics; we were alerted to this by customers that thought they were buying from us and later had fraudulent charges.
My guess is that their checkout is just completely phony and passing along credit card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes to the scammer’s inbox.
Just I am looking for advice too
