OP is playing the wrong game. They should have filed a trademark for the name and start sending legal letters to the copycat.
This is why open source projects like Firefox hold trademarks near and dear.

Last that I paid attention, filing a trademark was a 4-figure (US$) move, and defending it internationally could easily be 5-figures.
$250 for a US trademark. Just fill out some forms.
I would think a US trademark plus a nasty cease and desist letter would deter most. But maybe I’m naive.
Either that or just accept that someone else has a scam site. Report it to anyone you can report it to, put a message in your software stating that it shouldn’t have ads or payments and convey the official website.
