      I bought a brand new watch 3-4 weeks ago. Received it the other day. When I got home that same day, I opened the Tissot watch box. I noticed hundreds of scratches at the back plate of the brand new watch! It was weird because its brand new. I have a 25 year old watch but not even a scratch in the back plate of the watch. I have a feeling that I received a refurbished watch or they replaced the parts of the Tissot watch. I called and texted the S&L gem the same day about it. I was instructed to go back and return it to the store. The following day I went to the store and the staff told me they cannot keep the watch and stated to me to keep the watch for now and that I should use it for the meantime. It's weird that they told me to use it for the meantime. They said they will call me the next day for an update. So, I went home with the watch. Today, I'm here at the store again because I never got any call or update. I've been waiting for an hour now without getting any help or updates. It's very stressful and a waste of my freaking time! A rude lady salesperson even suggested to me that I should use the 2 year warranty for the watch. What the heck was that! They already wasted my time waiting for a brand new watch. The lady manager stated today that they just ordered another watch. She said that's the progress. I was told to keep the watch again. I did not get any paperwork or documentation. So ridiculous and frustrating because I was going to wear it at my upcoming wedding. - Ej, US Air Force

      My mom who is elderly and doesnt speak English very well went in because she saw a free promotion for prizes and money. They showed my mom a set of ***** earrings and a matching necklace. To my moms understanding the earrings were only $180. They told my mom if she opened a credit card with them she can get free prizes like a LV bag and iPhone 15, so my mom did. She kept repeating I dont have to pay anything right? And they kept showing her the $0 balance on the receipt which in fact was just the amount she owed for that day and made her sign in multiple places She kept asking if she had to pay anything for the jewelry or the free items they gave her but they kept saying 0 and pointing to parts of the receipt that said 0. My mom ended up buying $25000 worth of jewelry and she didnt even know it. She was told she didnt have to pay anything. I think this shop took advantage of my mom because she is elderly and doesnt speak English very well. When she went back to return the items they said there was no returns. So to do her a favor they accepted the return of the $25k jewelry but made her buy another set for $10k and had her sign more papers. They wouldnt refund my moms money and the only choice they gave her was to purchase another set of jewelry that cost 10k. She was told the whole time in her visit she didnt have to pay anything and now she has to pay $10,000 for something she doesnt even want or can afford. I believe they targeted her because she is elderly and doesnt speak English very well.
