Just alert the local newspapers in your town. They should take it from there.

I’d report it to the publishing company of the book and possibly the site (if for example you found it on Amazon or Ebay).

@atlantis @Seaofclouds Thank you both.
I was thinking a website, that compiles a list of scam sites. So, not exactly like this one http://www.report-online-scams.com/
