Plagiarized Article

I have only been with Suite 101 for barely a month but already, I have found one of my articles there plagiarized. My first article, which was about women's health, was found by a co-contributing writer to have been published on another site along with many other articles of writers from Suite 101 and Associated Content. When I received her message, I immediately checked on the mentioned site. Indeed, I found my article there, copied word for word without a single word being changed.

There was no way I could contact the site administrator so I tried posting a reply to the plagiarized article. That, too, failed. I couldn't get through to the site even through the comment section. However, the next day I noticed that my article had been pulled out from the site along with many others that were owned by other Suite 101 writers. Perhaps the site admin had received our messages after all.
