If you believe someone is doing something illegal than you should report
it to law enforcement. Their job is to investigate and bring charges if
they feel they are warranted. You do not have to be from the USA to
report a crime in the USA.
Here is a list with contact info for the FBI's field offices:

FBI Headquarters: https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/fbi-headquarters
List of overseas offices for those of you not in the US that want to
talk to someone local: https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/legal-attache-offices
Most network operators are not law enforcement or lawyers.
