Any ideas what else can be done?

If we can make Bitcoin even more successful, these guys'll be able to earn an honest living instead!  Tongue

If it's hosted in the USA, you could probably file a DMCA takedown request with their hosting provider.  If not though, you are probably out of luck.

I just came across this scammer website:  www.bitcoinestore.com (with an E after bitcoin)

It has NOTHING to do with the real www.bitcoinstore.com  (no extra e)

They are even claiming that the scammer site is powered by memorydealers.com

I've already reported it to http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/

Any ideas what else can be done?

If Bitcoin Store is their registered trademark, they will ultimately be able to have that domain seized, as it's clearly infringing. Same thing that happens if you were to register something like "Faceebook" (which Facebook already owns, having probably seized it from someone doing exactly this).

Report it to the diverse antivirus networks too.

That's pretty much all you can do. Unfortunately such sites are usually hosted by other criminals that simply don't care to take down the site.
