  lollypopphoto.com is not hosted here on WordPressdotcom. http://www.whoishostingthis.com/?q=lollypopphoto.com and it doesn’t seem like it was in the past (looking at the Internet Archive Wayback Machine).

  For general knowledge, if you once owned that domain and then let it lapse, it is possible that someone else purchased it after it expired. However, if your content is appearing on that site, you should check with the new site’s web hosting service and file a DMCA complaint with them.

  There’s nothing further we can do here to assist you as this is not a WordPressdotcom issue. Sorry for no better news and good luck.
