What to do about a false money back guarantee?
I purchased concert tickets from an intermediary company whose web site posted claims of 100% money back guarantee if you do not receive your tickets. About a month later, I received a call from the company telling me that the provider of the tickets turned out to be a fraud and that I’m on my own to get my money back from – that it’s not their fault the company was fraudulent. I asked about the posted 100% money back guarantee and was told they only had to give me a phone number for the fraud company. Not surprisingly, the company has now removed all mention of guarantee. Do I have legal ground to get my money back from the company who I authorized the payment through or do I have to handle this as a fraud issue with my bank personally?

Assuming you charged your tickets by credit card, immediately contact your credit card company and contest the charge. If such is too late, then your legal recourse is to file suit against the company for the charges you incurred as to its money back guarantee in small claims court.
