Multiple Cloned Stores for Phishing Intent - Again

Technical Q&A
1

I recently raised a concern about a store that was cloned and hosted on Shopify. Now, we have discovered another cloned store with a slightly different link. How does Shopify allow such situations to persist, despite the clear violation of multiple Brazilian and international regulations?

These cloned sites unlawfully reproduce the content, design, products, and proprietary information that belong exclusively to Luiza Barcelos. Such practices constitute a violation of Law No. 9.610/98 (Brazilian Copyright Law) and other relevant international regulations. Additionally, this misconduct damages our company’s reputation and misleads our customers.

Previous cloned site: https://site-luizabarcellos.shop/
New cloned site: https://luizabarcellos.shop/
Original site: https://www.luizabarcelos.com.br

Hey, I know this is an old post but I hope you got it sorted for your store.

I got fed up about hearing about this issue so I created a free app that keeps an eye on your domain/brand and finds lookalike/typo domains that have phishing stores on them that might be trying to steal traffic / scam your users.

It’s here for free on the app store at Recon Brand Protection - Protect your store from spoofing, phishing, and impersonation. | Shopify App Store

Give it a look, it takes like 5 seconds and then we send you a monthly update if we notice anything fishy going on with your domain etc.
