What is the legal responsibility of legitimate companies that help pyramid schemes?

[sitetalkscam]

Sitetalk/ Unaico/OPN /Itel global group,... is a global pyramid scam that has already left many victims around the world and I posted about this scam in this thread:

http://www.worldlawdirect.com/forum/money-frauds-scams/61550-sitetalk-pyramid-scam-changing-itel-global-group-ipo-scam.html

Part of this scam is a company called Sitetalk Sim (A.K.A Itel global group, Itel-media, Itel Telecom PLC, one alliance mobile) which pretends to be a mobile/ Voip company. The company that is providing this service in reality is an English company called QICOMM LTD which seems to be a legitimate company in UK. It is hard to believe that people in QICOMM are not aware that they are part of pyramid scheme and also are collecting people information that most likely in future will even be used for identity theft and credit fraud.
Can Such companies hide behind the fact that they are only service providers when the authorities knock on their door or do you think they are not only morally but also legally responsible as participant in the fraud? Can the fees that they collect be claimed as proceeds of crime by authorities?
Obviously if such suppliers be accountable for their actions, it makes it much more difficult for scam artists to fool people, what do you think?

I wish to inform you that pyramid schemes are illegal in UK and USA. In USA you may report the matter to the Federal Trade Commission. You may file the complaint online or you may contact them on tel. In UK you may report the pyramid scheme scam to the police or the Department of Trade and Industry. You may hand over copies of all your notes regarding contacts, phone conversations and e-mails while filing the complaint. The law enforcement agencies will investigate the complaint.

I know this but how about companies that provide services to this pyramid schemes. For example if a credit company or Paypal process the payments for them or in this case, a phone company let them use their service so they can pretend to be a phone company. Are they doing something which is only morally wrong or are they actually participating in the crime. For example if VISA or Master card process the payments and make money out of it, isn´t their profit proceed of crime?

It seems I spoke hastily about QICOMM being a legitimate company and it is owned by the same people who run the "Gold Quest" Scheme which left many victims in Asia and many of their leaders got arrested. In fact Sitetalk/Unaico/OPN and Gold Quest look very similar in operation and the countries they use to target their victims. Is this a case a of "fraudsters of the world unite"?
In another note Itel Telecommunication PLC has changed name again (what a surprise, NOT) to Yaboo (UK) PLC and their website at iteltelecom.net is also hosted by QICOMM.
It still doesn´t change the question of what is the legal responsibility of companies that act as supplier to different frauds.?
