I need help.

How do you find out who owns a website? You know... the phone number and location of the site??

Can anyone help me out??

whois.com

I forgot to add that the information there might well be fictional. I know that the stuff there for my site is fake. Deliberately.

4. It's called a WhoIs lookup

There are lots of places you can do it online. Here's a popular one.
http://www.whois.sc

For instance, the site in my sig: http://www.whois.sc/whoaretheyreally.org

BUT there's one problem. If the domain was registered using a proxy registration service, like GoDaddy offers, then all that will show up is the name of the registrar company.

Also, even though technically it's illegal, there's nothing that prevents someone from entering bogus info when they register a domain name.
