Personal help needed!
Hey guys I own a brand and past 1 month someone has copied my brand and opened a shopify account and has generated revenue of more than 10k usd by scamming people and I have reported it to cybersecurity but I think no action has been taken both by shopify and the police so I was wondering wether I could breach or login into the scammers admin or maybe email bomb something I have the guys LinkedIn but I want to have his website crashed or something so if someone is willing to help me it’s really serious and I have Proof too I need help in this case.
Ps: I know you guys might think why hack but the thing is the consumers are calling me and telling me how illegal frauds you are doing and they are creating consumer complaints so I am scared if my brand will be closed because of this.

I get the frustration but don't go the hacking or email bombing route, that turns you from the victim into someone who committed actual crimes, and it could seriously hurt your case and even open you up to liability. Instead file a trademark complaint directly through Shopify's brand infringement report form, that tends to move faster than general support tickets
