internet fraud - who to call?

newfoundglory

I recently purchased some bedding from a website (appeared to be genuine, had an address, phone number, was registered limited company).

I became suspicious when emails were not returned, and their phone line voicemail box was full. Called up Egg today, told them that my 120 quid purchase was not going to be delivered as I was suspicious that they were no longer trading. Egg are now investigating, and will refund (eventually i assume).

I have worked in the internet industry for years, but tonight I appear to have uncovered what I think could be a big fraud. It is by no means obvious at all. But appears to involve several limited companies with false directors names and numerous domain names linked only by common nameservers. All traceable back to a single person. I keep going around in circles with DNS and always end back at the same place with more than one site.

Who the heck can I speck to who might have a clue what i am talking about... as no normal police office is going to have a clue what i am on about!

This is what the west midlands police say http://www.west-midlands.police.uk/crime-reduction/theft-fraud/fraud/internet.asp

You can also notify the site hosts, alert them to fraud, I have reported things to google, yahoo and others.
