  My Shopify website thehandmadecyclist.com has been cloned and is now hosted on a wordpress site. I need your help taking this down, it is criminal activity

  Self-declared URL: https://thehandmadecyclist.shop/
  Jetpack: Unknown
  WP.com: Unknown

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry but both sites are certainly not a lookalike except from the domain.

  TheHandmadeCyclist.com has been created back in 2012, as TheHandmadeCyclist.shop has been created in 2024 … so there is nothing cloned as they even don’t sell the same things.

  You could try to reach out to Cloudflare – https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/thehandmadecyclist.com – I wish you good luck …

  Thanks for the reply, but they have copied:
  

  products
  images
  product descriptions
  social media links
  contact details

  from my Shopify store.

  Perhaps cloned is the incorrect term, but it is certainly theft and fraudulent use of my store name

  For example:
  

  Fraudulent:
  https://thehandmadecyclist.shop/product/annemiek-van-vleuten-tour-de-france-femmes-limited-edition-thehandmadecyclist/
  

  Original:
  https://thehandmadecyclist.com/collections/all-prints/products/annemiek-van-vleuten-tour-de-france-femmes-limited-edition?_pos=1&_fid=a3ac030db&_ss=c
  
  These are very clearly the same items

  That site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform but is hosted by or the real hosting is hidden Cloudflare – https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/TheHandmadeCyclist.shop

  You could try to contact Cloudflare support otherwise you must contact the owner of that site.
