Default Prospective Employers Changing Job Postings During Interviewing Stage

After trying to do some internet research on the subject I figured I would ask the CP Brain Trust here.

Currently I'm looking for a job and was interviewed by a Company who posted a job for a Senior Admin. I went through all their interview phases, even did the testing and then was left to wait. 10 days later I recieved an email from the President who I would have been working for giving me some explaination that the business hit a few bumps and that they were reviewing the needs of the business and budget and may not have enough money to hire me but rather an HR Manager and Intermediate Admin Assistant instead (this makes no sense as the wage I was asking is still less then an HR Manager). He went on to say that if they did decide to hire a Senior Admin I would be offered the position and a decision would be made later in the week as to which direction they were going.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks later and I see on the same website the job I applied to was on that the company posted the jobs for the HR Manager and Intermediate Admin with no further communication from the President about what would happen with the Senior Admin job I applied for.

I'm just curious if there is anywhere you can report this guy for pulling something like this? I understand businesses can change their needs, but it seems wrong that they can interview numerous candidates to second and third interviews and then do something like this. This isn't even the first time it's happened this time looking for a job as I've had two other places interview me for a 2nd and 3rd time and then I see the job reposted as a Receptionist or Admin Assistant for half the pay the were offering at the interview and then sent an explaination of "We were not prepared to pay as much as candidates were asking".
