This happened to me!!!

I run a massive body piercing website at bodyjewelleryshop.com. We sell loads of piercing jewellery online. Last year I came across 'Bodyjewelries.net'. A very similar website, which had taken every single one of my product images, and was selling every single one of my products at the same prices. Not sure how they did this, but the thing is that we have several suppliers, some of which are very small independant businesses in places like brighton. This website was run in the US and could never have got all the stock that we had, which leads me to believe that these people were just using the site to harvest credit card numbers! I did a whois query, e-mailed the domain admin and within 24 hours the site had just vanished. Weird.
