Hmmm, I'm featured on a bogus online store.

I tried to send them an email but their contact email is bogus as well..makes sense, if someone accidentally buys something from them, why would the con artist need to talk to you? They've got your money. Job done from their point of view.

So how can I get them to cease and desist? Or even better, how do I get their whole site taken down?

Their ip seems to be part of the cloudflair network

You can report abuse here:

Good luck.

Thanks for that! I submitted a report under 'general' so I didn't have to supply as much info. This is what I said, in pseudo legalese 😄. Not to impress them, because they pass these on to their legal department, but just to make it as clear as possible. That is why lawyers talk the way they do after all:

 

To whom it may concern,

On the webpage, hosted by you:

https://cufflovesm.live/product_details/48318021.html

They feature 'BYOCT Cosplaying SEGA's Crazy Taxi Featuring Axel' as a product.

That is the heading of a thread I have authored on a forum. They do not have permission to use either that heading, nor the accompanying picture. Furthermore, it appears they are using said heading and picture to sell bogus products on a fictitious storefront.

Therefore we ask that they immediately cease and desist from using 'BYOCT Cosplaying SEGA's Crazy Taxi Featuring Axel' and the accompanying picture in any form or manner on any webpage, online shop or any other form of publication. We urge promptness in this matter.

Thank you in advance.

It will be interesting to see if you get a reply, or if there is some action.

I guess at worst it will be gone in a year or so as it seems to be a scam. Those fuckers don't hang around TOO long 😄

Well, I guess I have to wait for them to move on, or get busted

It will be gone by Christmas, the generally only last a few months then they are gone.
