Legal Question in Consumer Law in Tennessee

Is it Fraudulent

Im in California, I purchased gemstones from Tennessee, on a tv shopping network..They advertised them as top of the line stones, worth 1299.99, there were two, but when I took them for appraisal. The gemologist said, they were garbage.The lowest quality, and worth nothing compared to purchase price. On the tx they showed grade A, but I received grade z. On both. What should I do??

Re: Is it Fraudulent

I hope you were smart enough to pay for gemstones with a credit card and not with cash or money order. If you did the former, then contact your credit card company immediately and contest the payment. If you did the latter, then you can file complaints with a dozen different fraud websites on the Internet. If you want to sue the company for fraud, you can do that. However, you would likely have to represent yourself Pro se (without a lawyer), because the cost of legal fees would outweigh the value of your fraud losses recovered in the suit.
