Each state's Attorney General's office usually has a department of consumer protection that will hear these complaints. I've reported Amazon to my AG more than once.

I was contacted about one of my reports, and gave them more information about what happened. I haven't gotten a follow up to that call, but I didn't expect to.

Seems to be the same effect as reporting them to [email protected], then.
