Fake startup in Silicon Valley

Is there a place to report a fake startup? They’re selling app screenshots as their core product to small companies? There is no code behind the screens and are asking their prospects to sign contracts. They also hire illegal immigrants in US/Europe and don’t pay them and ask non-tech women to invest in them as angel investor and never see the money again. This startup is based in Sunnyvale, CA Thank you!

They are selling them to random people? What does this have to do with immigrants?

Tips to reporters, email magazines, blind posts, twitter/fb l. Just whatever you do, do it anonymously. You don't want anyone coming after you.

Thank you, this is really great advice. Yes I don’t want my name anywhere, specially because I haven’t confronted them and I don’t want to. I stay away from their startup
