SS took down many sites reported at this thread in June - July: https://forums.submit.shutterstock.com/topic/91181-stealing-ss-images-big-time
Maybe it would be a better place to report this one too at the same thread. I don't think they are reading this forum.

I don't think that they are reading this forum either, but the above thread on Shutterstock forum is old and long. They may not bother with it any more. Of course you can report it on that thread, and start a new thread, and email them... you don't have to limit reporting this stealing site in just one way! Many reports is better than one. HOWEVER it's probably not a good idea to put this in social media where people can find about this site.
I encourage everyone to go to this site and try one of your images. I inserted a SS link and the result was a flawless 1843X1229 photo without watermark, perfect to use in many projects and web. You don't need a larger image for web, blog or some small prints even. Imagine when knowledge of this site spreads online, (and it does on social share, on forums, etc).
It's safe to use this site, because no one will know anyway whether the end user has purchased a license or not.
This is our work at stake. I already emailed SS but that's not enough. Contributors, please report this site!

The Shutterstock forum is read only by contributors.
The twitter and the Facebook pages are read by much more people, including customers, shareholders, Shutterstock staff and the CEO himself.

Indeed. Tried one of my images with NEW watermark....makes no difference...perfect watermark-free image. Not only that but the little SS red logo appears alongside that site in my history column!
I did have to turn off my AdBlock Plus before it would work and guess what popped up as ad on their site page.........Adobe Stock! It would almost be comical if it weren't so serious.

Yes. This sick site destroys our work.
This site needs to be stopped. The next thing they will do is to create a stealware to steal watermarked images from ANY site. And I bet they will be larger in size, too.
Contributors, don't be lulled into a false sense of security that YOUR images won't be stolen. They will be, as long as this site is up.
