My game was STOLEN and published for sale!

Recently, I found out that my game, George Likes Lasagna (https://danieloschepkov.itch.io/george-likes-lasagna) was stolen and published on Google Play and on SellMyApp.com (for 109$). Its surely illegal, but the SellMyApp page says that "this developer checked", meanwhile he just stolen the game!

I have asked the support of this site about help, but I still didnt get any kind of reply or help. This is really pathetic and terrible to steal other's free game and sell it as his own game. The interesting point is that he is selling android version of the game (Meanwhile i DIDNT MAKE any android version of the game), so we come to the point, where he decompiled the original game, put admob and mobile controls and then started to sell it. The problem is, that I just a solo indie developer, not a big company, so I have no idea what should i do in this situation :(

I'm not sure how it works but there should be a way to file a DMCA claim. I don't know if it's done on that site but there are other sites out there that you can file a claim with (I think that's how it works, not 100% sure)

I will check it, thanks for advice :)
