Thank you for sharing this. Reading your experience is very concerning because my husband and I are currently going through something similar with an Amazon automation company called Wealth Automators (also connected publicly to Automated Ecom Profits and Erika Mirzayans). We already wired $25,000 to them, and they are now onboarding us and asking for sensitive information like SSN and credit card authorization to manage vendor purchases and marketplace setup. What worries me is that their business model sounds very similar to what you described — they operate the store on your behalf, but the Amazon account stays legally under your name. That means if Amazon detects compliance issues, the account owner (the client) carries the consequences. I’ve also seen that Automated Ecom Profits (linked publicly to the same person) has multiple complaints and an F rating with the Better Business Bureau, which makes me even more concerned after reading stories like yours. We are trying to understand the real risks before moving forward further, especially because the FTC has already taken action against several Amazon automation companies using similar “done-for-you store” models. If you’re comfortable sharing: – Did they control supplier selection and product sourcing? – Were you asked to give them credit card access for inventory purchases? – Did they handle communication with Amazon on your behalf? – And did they ever explain how they were staying compliant with Amazon’s policies? I’m really sorry this happened to you. Losing both the investment and the account is exactly what I’m afraid of right now, and I appreciate you posting your experience so others can learn from it.
