block their account. Dont worry, they most likely wont buy from him if they like your brand
 
That's a positive thing! I love it, it means you are doing a good job :)
 
I dont get it what are they scraping from you, images? If so watermark them.
 
If is image, just like dllll said watermark them. If it's not... You'll have to get used to it. People copy others all the time and you just can't avoid that. Even if you watermark images they can post something similar.

How are they stealing new followers? Maybe have your content advertise your site or something that way if they have a bot scraping the data they will advertise your site...if you set to private and they are following you then they can obviously still see everything.

only thing to do is be better then them, no way of stopping someone scraping your followers, if you go private they will create a new account and follow you with that one, you'll follow back and they will still have access to your followers.
