What to do if I was hired by a company which and worked there for 30 days but they closed shop without any communication or any payment?

They even promised reimbursements for the expenses I paid for. None of their websites/emails or telephones are responding. Please advice.

I suggest that you make an appointment with your local department of labor to see what your legal recourse is given what you have written. The non-payment of what you are owed is clearly a violation of the laws of all states in this country. The department of labor may also file an administrative action against your former employer on your behalf.
