I'm not sure there is a specific statute addressing this question but it sounds like it's fraud and misrepresentation. The statute's don't cover all the laws - some simply don't need to be written. For example, you won't find a 'breach of contract' statute, but you certainly can sue if someone breaches an agreement with you.

This may be a simple case of fraud and misrepresentation.
