I reported this site several days ago, but it’s still online., how Shopify can tolerate sites that rip off innocent people using their service is beyond me. Take a look at this site, which sells counterfeit products in full view of the public, pretending they’re authentic - that’s not right! https://nike-factorystore.com/
