Ripoffreport.com.
It will tell you several companies that consumers like you have listed, that are fraudulent or fishy. You can post your experiences as well, and warn others not to fall into the trap you might have fallen into.

Prizes, sweepstakes, and lotteries that have no real value.

Fake charities that don't exist.

Investments or fake business opportunities that are rigged or illegal.
