I wouldn't mention the site publicly, and it wouldn't do much good anyway because there are literally hundreds of them that do this. There was a template floating around several blackhat marketing forums for a while with this functionality built in (the Flippa site I mentioned was based on this template).

I'll give you a whitelist instead of a blacklist. Unless you're seeing expensive, national ad campaigns from a given penny auction site and they are based in the US, more likely than not, there are no actual goods to be won. Even then, many use shill accounts to keep the bidding going until the item has reached the desired profitability from real, paid bids.
