Or what I learned about them so far thanks to the amazing AmberStone16! 
Who helped me out with so much.

> This site was created in the Czech Republic .
> Site was made 6 months ago and was left abandoned since then.
> Creator of this site has a second one, that works pretty much the same as this. 
> Yes, 100% CONFIRMED  ITS A SCAM!  ---> Confirmed by reviewer for Scamadvisor!

Dot Bullet (Peach) - F2U!  It was made to look like a shoe site!   The reviewer tried to purchase something and was lead on a never ending loop. In the end, he decided not to finish the purchase, due to fear of having credit card information stolen!  You can read his story on Scamadvisor!
Dot Bullet (Peach) - F2U!  Why is a "shoe site" even selling stolen art? That is the question and in all honesty, I'm equally confused as you yet the proof is right here...
Art Thief Alert! by trika88

Dot Bullet (Peach) - F2U! The images that were stolen were quite random. They have memes, official Dragon Ball Z preview pages scanned from magazines, random individual's artwork and comic pages.
Dot Bullet (Peach) - F2U! I personally think, they were targeting artist with small following or ignored drawings. They probably thought it wouldn't be found or not be considered a big deal, since the art is old OR not popular. If not, they can blow it over by giving credit to the artist right?! Yeah, it doesn't work that like that.   
Dot Bullet (Peach) - F2U! How do I feel? At first, I was understandably angry but after a few days, my anger turned into amusement because I can't imagine anyone actually falling for this. Looking at the dramatic price cuts on this site, I don't think a lot of people have. Still, I want my drawing taken down because I want nothing to do with this site.

This hasn't demotivated me from drawing in the slightest, and this will be the last huge post I make about this subject. 

I'll do quick update post here and there but thats it.

But, this shows that learning the laws  that protect you is important.  

Also learning the names of attorneys specializing in copyright doesn't hurt either. Smile :D

and I'm about to message the domain registry/hosting to see what they can do.

if that all fails the site will close automatically in October since they only paid for one year hosting.
sorry for the long message, let's hope this is the end of it all. xx
