I'm not sure DMCA would even apply; it's debatable whether our logo alone would be copyright protected. Aside from that, the issues are trademark and fraud, not copyright. (They haven't copied our content or the design of our site, just our name.)
Google might be able to help by adding the site to their phishing blacklist, but having them de-listed from the Google index wouldn't make any real difference. They don't rank anywhere visible now. What they do is list vehicles on other platforms like craigslist, and then direct people to their pages when they're contacted. That way they're not asking people to send money to some random stranger on craigslist, they're having them make a transaction through "Auto Tempest", a known car listings site.
