Hi Tig,

It is my understanding that if spam, copyright issues etc are reported to Google, they use the information to modify their algos in some way rather than manually interfering so I doubt you will have been penalised in any way as a result of these guys.

Hopefully it will come as consolation that if they do copy part of your website, as long as your site and content has been up and indexed by Google for a while, it will probably be treated as dupe content and won't show up in the SERPs. Copying content from another website would have to rank as one of the worst things you can do for SEO. take heart in that!

Lastly, playing around with their site it appears they have ripped off some content from another company. The content on Tacoma Graphic Design Services :: Artifex Business Identity Development, Tacoma Washington matches the content on Six Digit Media, LLC | Web Design & Development | Company Branding

Why not contact the latter and let them know about these underhand tactics
