Federal Trade Commission
ftc.gov/complaint, 877-382-4357
This is the agency for reporting identity theft, abusive debt collectors and most types of fraud. After filing a complaint, you'll get a reference number to use when contacting the agency for future updates. The FTC received more than 3 million complaints in 2015, and it does not routinely respond back to you or resolve your individual case. Rather, your complaints will be entered into a database that the FTC and some 2,000 civil and criminal enforcement agencies use to track scam patterns and build cases against specific con artists. Fraud complaints should also be filed with your state's attorney general and even local law enforcement authorities.

National Do Not Call Registry
donotcall.gov, 888-382-1222
For reporting unsolicited sales calls. Start by putting your phone number on this registry. Once yours has been there for at least 31 days, you can report unwanted calls. Your information will be pooled with other data to help catch violators. Note that calls from legitimate charities, survey firms, debt collectors and political candidates or parties are not covered by the Do Not Call rules.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
consumerfinance.gov/complaint, 855-411-2372
For complaints about shady business practices and financial products, including loans, bank services, credit reporting, ID theft, debt collection and payment cards. The CFPB forwards complaints to the company, which has 15 days to respond. Cases are supposed to be resolved within 60 days. You can check the status of your case via the CFPB website. For credit cards and bank-issued ATM and debit cards that are used fraudulently, lost or stolen, contact the issuer.

Internet Crime Complaint Center
ic3.gov/complaint
For reporting internet-based scams, including online auctions; investment and sales fraud; internet extortion, hacking and phishing; and scam emails. Operated by the FBI, the IC3 forwards complaint information to appropriate law enforcement or regulatory agencies, but does not directly conduct investigations.

Postal Inspection Service
postalinspectors.uspis.gov, 877-876-2455
To report scams distributed by U.S. mail, such as bogus lottery and sweepstakes "winnings," chain-letter schemes and deceptive advertisements—as well as mail theft.

Talk about fake commercials.  Go here to see this!  This is supposed to be holy water from some idiot.  On TV commercial constantly.

People come on saying they get checks from ??? for $25,000 and the next day $35,000 and so on just by getting the water.

How in the hay is this not illegal.

Better hurry if you have a complaint for the CFPB because it's going to be abolished.

[Kachina624]

I'd go right to the Consumer Fraud Division of my state's Attorney General's Office.

While I appreciate your effort in posting all that information, personally my opinion is that all of these commission, registries, bureaus, centers, etc government related are useless and offer nothing.
