This thread is funny. If you suspected Fraud from this company, your first step would be to file a criminal complaint with the police that would investigate and then refer the case to onward.

Actually, that is not true. In the United States, Private Citizens must report Fraud to the Attorney Generals Office in their State. Local Police Office's can't even take a report in most cases, they can only refer you to the Attorney General.

Yes, you are right, but without going down the rat hole, it is unlikely that AG would do anything without guidance at the federal level and likely be FINCEN and also a Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). This is why you go to a lawyer as your first step and gather any evidence and submit an online or telephone report. After the initial report is filed, you will then be asked to provide evidence which usually takes several days to weeks and would happen well before having the opportunity to meet an AG. And you ALWAYS want a lawyer present, as you can and likely will, incriminate yourself in some fashion.
