Is it possible for someone to copy and paste a website and make it their own?

I ask because the website below, I believe has been copied. We have been
solicited as holder of properties in Mexico. They sent us to this website and
we have found through another source that there are several scams about this
particular company.

If there is anything you can suggest, that might shed some light on this, we
would appreciate it.

Sincerely,

It is technically easy, yes. It is legally wrong in most jurisdictions. Not sure how I can help you though, it's not really a spec issue.
