Etsy sellers beware of this website, because they have harvested your Etsy listings, picture, text and feedback in order to defraud people. All the listings on this site belong to Etsy sellers and they are trying to play them off as items they are selling as their own. Are they taking money from people who have placed orders on their site? That is my guess because, how are they going to fulfill these orders if they don't have these products?
Do not purchase anything from this site SKMONIG Online Store or you will get ripped off!
I came across this site by accident on 9/21/20, when I was doing a Google search for one of my items and found my image, text and feedback on their site. I have emailed them to remove my content, but so far no response. Then it dawned on me that everything on this site is harvested from Etsy. I was able to copy the title of listings and do a google search to find the original sellers on Etsy.
This is my listing and feedback they put on their site to sell
I have contacted Etsy to see what they will say and do about this situation.. so we will see!
In doing some research the owner of this domain has 33,000 domain names, so most likely there are many other sites out there by this person who is scamming people. The website SKMONIG was just published on 9/9/20 so is fairly new. This should really make you be more careful from who you are purchasing online from.. very scary!
This is the information I have found on this scammer..

I will be filing an abuse claim with ICANN and will keep you updated.
Abuse (Involving a Domain Name) Complaints about a domain name used to perpetrate abuse must first be reported to the sponsoring registrar. Prior to filing an abuse complaint with ICANN, please ensure you have submitted an abuse report to the registrar, using the registrar’s published abuse contacts, and have allowed the registrar sufficient time to review and respond. To identify the sponsoring registrar of a domain name, you can conduct a search at https://lookup.icann.org/ (the abuse-dedicated contacts are listed in the “Registrar Information” field). Abuse contact information must also be displayed on the registrar’s website. ICANN addresses registrar-related abuse complaints under Section 3.18 of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). The RAA requires registrars to take reasonable and prompt steps to investigate and respond to abuse reports but does not require them to take any specific action on domain names (e.g. suspension or deletion) in response to abuse reports. Registrars address abuse reports consistent with their obligations in Section 3.18 of the RAA and in accordance with their own domain name use and abuse policies. ICANN is not a registrar and has no technical ability to take any action (e.g. suspension or deletion) regarding a domain name or its content. If you receive a suspicious email that appears to come from the ICANN org, please see information here. By submitting your complaint, you agree that ICANN may share the information and evidence you provide to ICANN with the registrar, registry operator and/or any third party with whom ICANN may consult if needed to fully address your complaint. If you have any concerns about this practice, please include them with your submission in the “description of problem” text box. Additionally, this complaint type allows “anonymous submission” to be selected. More details regarding this option are in the next screen. By submitting your personal data, you agree that your personal data will be processed in accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy and ICANN Cookies Policy, and agree to abide by the electronic Terms of Service.
If you have found any of your items on this site then please follow instructions above on how to report them and get their site taken down.. and please feel free to leave a comment below.
