@classicvamp12 Hi there,
            That site is not actually copying content from Wattpad, they're looking at Wattpad through another webpage. Sites like that are mirror or 'lens' sites. They look at Wattpad through a lens which usually carries their own logo, malware etc.
            The Wattpad team are aware of these sort of sites and are working on getting them taken down, but they're usually located in countries that are less caring of copyright law and so can take a long time to get removed.
            If you click on the site or any links related to that site you are likely at risk of a malware attack, so be sure to do a full threat/safety scan on your laptop/computer/phone.
            For your safety and for your readers, you may want to include this message in the summary of your story on Wattpad (this also applies if you write on another site) -
            "If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack. If you wish to read this story in it's original, safe, form, please go to (Wattpad User Link). Thank you."
            Hope this helps.

          Not plagiarized but "reflecting" like a mirror

So my book Runt was stolen by some user but her name is gone now! She messaged me and seemed as nice as she could be and asked if I wanted my book to be published on a website where they would self publish it and I might end up getting paid for it. I asked her tons of questions and this seemed real but now the book we discussed about is GONE! That's right, no where to be found. I had over a hundred of chapters and pver a million readers and now all my work is gone! Beware if you talk to anyone who sounds like I described!
