If you can prove that the fraud happened, you can complain to the people providing Internet service to the site. At least two different companies can shut the site down: their host and their domain registrar.
You can find out who is hosting the site here:

Their domain registrar is among the information listed here:

Most of this information is supposed to be about the actual owner of the site, but this info can be easily faked. The company listed next to "registrar" or "registration service provider" is the one you want to complain to.
Additionally, both of those links above will list the site's "name servers". If these name servers are:
- Different from the fraud site itself
- Not one of the services above that you already complained to
Then you can complain to them, also. Just Google them to find their site or some contact information.
When contacting these companies, reference the parts of their terms of service and/or acceptable use policy (TOS/AUP) that the fraud website actually broke. These terms will be linked somewhere on the companies' sites. If the fraud site didn't break any part of the terms of service, then you shouldn't even bother complaining, since there is almost no chance that the companies will do anything in that case.
