Tony, I can’t believe someone had the balls to be this underhanded. First time I have seen anyone outright copy the theme and name this close. It’s disgusting. I always use your direct link when members want your info.

Sorry to hear Tony. Hope they get shutdown and quick. I tried to chat and got no response so I just left the word thief there for them to see when they log back on.

Wow! This is just awful and stressful. I wish you luck getting this sorted out soon before some unfortunate person suffers a loss due to fraud. We here in the forum know you and support you.

I hope this scammer site comes down fast. As a business owner, this makes me cringe. I would be furious if someone did this....

Thanks for the heads up Tony-

That’s the truth! Get ‘em Tony! Good luck! I’ve seen Cloned sites before and it stinks when it happens.

I found an (almost) duplicate site for a UK manufacturer of great cufflinks. The low prices were suspicious so I emailed them to check. It was a fake site which they didn’t yet know about. The production quality was high but there must be ££ in it. I don’t know how they did it but eventually got account suspended.

Hope you get through this unscathed. Got get em!

Disgusting, Website registered 30th December 19 and hosted in Panama. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Line 15 of the scam site source code

Ugly situation but it seems you've dealt with it swiftly. The scam site is down at the moment, hopefully it stays that way.
Good luck Tony.

They've been doing it for a while. A year back I got a shady message and it wasn't from you.

I think it gave you a heads up and you posted then too?

I bet there's one dirt bag out that that's going off your name.

DavidSW got this same type of thing about a year ago, so you are in good company.

Sorry to hear you have the hassle Tony.

Thanks for positing to let us all know.

All the best, Mark
