PREMIER ESTATE LIQUIDATORS INC Bait & switch ripoff--Paid $2,811. for diamond bracelet/returned before 30 day they never refunded money. Phone disconnected no way to reach them. Orlando Florida

On 11/21/2003 I purchased a 7ct.diamond bracelet on a TV auction for $2,811.00.They offered a 30 money back guarantee so I made the purchase.I didn't receive the bracelet for 30 days and I called & was told they were making sure the appraisal would be sent along with the bracelet & this caused an additional delay.

The person I talked to said his name was Jack Slater. I received the bracelet about the second week in December and it was not even close to what I had seen on tv.

I returned it 12/17/2003 registered & insured. It was received and signed received by J.Leisor on 12/22/2003 at PO Box 622522 (address)for Premier Estate Liquidators.

I was told I would have my money refunded within 30 days.....Still nothing. I tried calling the 800-432-9184 But could not get through,constant busy signal. When it finally rang...a recording came on to try the call again the next day. Same results every day until the number was invalid.I am not sure but I think the channel was 21 in california.

I did get a copy of the cashiers check and the only endorsement showing is: for deposit only and the account #2000016656572.and it looks like it was processed by Wachovia Bank in Orlando, Florida.

I have a letter from the "appraiser"the name is John E.Mountford PO Box 623254,Oviedo,Florida 32762. There was a listing for Premier Estates in Oviedo but I do not have the number.

I would like to know how many people were ripped off as I was. There has to be to bring these criminals to justice and there is not doubt thousands of dollars they have stolen. If there are any agencies in law enforcement or I may contact I would appreciate knowing.
