Default what would you do? possible copyright infringement

Hi everyone,

about seven month ago I designed a small website for a group of lawyers that engaged in selling drugs or medicine to some middle eastern cities such as Dubai. I designed them the website, and since they were in a hurry to get their site up, I gave them permission to put up what I had done up to a point on their server before they pay me for the job.

After a few weeks of work on the site, I got a call from their agent telling me that they don't need my work anymore and that they would like to go with another designer.

Well I said ok and left it there. I checked back a few weeks later to make sure that they took my design down, but I noticed that the site went down and it was no longer up.

Now after all this month, I check back again and I see the same design that I had worked on, and what they did this time was that they changed the

site designed by: mywebsite.com to theircompany'sname.com

I am really upset and could say furious that they did such a thing, after all the hours and hard work I put into it. And also in my resume's i usually link to the client's sites that are still up, and if a customer sees a different name there, that makes me a liar.

I was wondering what you would do if you were in my situation? would you just e-mail them and ask them kindly to remove it or what?

thank you.
