Default Investment fraud: XR-Group and BOFX

As already discussed on the thread "Bluefire Capital Futures and Options investment scam", the same fraud procedure is praticed by the "dummy investment companies" XR-Group and BOFX.
I have been contacted by phone and had been introduced to their internet accounting and trading system on the BOFX web page. After having invested the first amount they requested to remit more to improve and to speed up the profits with gold options on GC Q0. GC Q0 really exists and I was able to follow the chart development on the independent futuresource webpage. The buy and sell options had been listed in due time on the BOFX account and I received a confirmation email from BOFX as soon as I released a trade.
After requesting the withdrawal of the "wins" from the BOFX account, there was no access anymore to the BOFX internet account. Emails to BOFX- and XR-Group contact persons returned undeliverable and no one picked up the phone anymore.

I hope this message can prevent some people to fall into the same trap. The details of the dummy investment companies are as follows:
the broker company:
XR-Group
Lippo Centre, Tower 2
89 Queensway, Admiralty
Hong Kong
Tel.: +852 3050 9030

The account to follow the "option trades" :
Beijing Options and Futures exchange (BOFX)
Servoffice Business Center
15 Guanghua Road,
Beijing, SH, China

It seems that I was dealing with a world wide operating criminal organization (same system as described on the Bluefire Capital thread).
The remaining question is just: Which institution is following and investigating such serious fraud delicts?
Is there somebody, who made similar experiences. What did you do after having recognized that you had been the victim of a fraud?
