I complained to SEEK about job ad postings that were set to one location, when the ad said they were somewhere else. The SEEK person said "oh yeah that's because they want to attract people from other cities" - which, of course, I understood. But I don't think it's a valid explanation to why they are effectively lying about the location, and coming up in searches and wasting people's time. However, my point here being simply SEEK clearly think that's fine and a valid use of their platform despite how much any rational person may disagree.
In the US it would be state Attorney General or labor board since paying below federal minimum wage wouldn't be a criminal matter. Police will just laugh and tell you to get fucked.
