The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

We have tropes for some of the specific subtypes you mention: Serial-Killer Killer and Chained to a Bed. And I guess all of them could fall under the umbrella of Asshole Victim.

I don't think we have a trope covering the general principle in your third paragraph. We do have the Violin Scam as another example of that principle. Shameful Source of Knowledge would be a sister trope.
