    Some creep created a website with the exact same design theme as my website. and they are clever enough to copy the entire content of my website but rewrote it a little so it can't be taken as exact duplication!

    I reported this to Google using the DMCA form but they really didn't remove the website. It's useless talking to the webmaster and i don't know what to do :(

    Is there any way such sites can be reported? These scum bags copy and get away with it and even start ranking in search engines! Why can't Google do anything about this? Please help

    What you should do is contact the Hosting provider. If they are US Based, the DCMA will apply. What you need to do is write a Cease and Desist letter to the Hosting provider to get their attention.

    He means the host. EG hostgator, or whoever.

    If none of that works, your only option is to hire an attorney. If you allow it to stay up, you may lose any rights to the content.
