Complaint Review: Tommy Rodriguez - sarasota florida

This report is inaccurate and defamatory. Automation Empire (founded by its CEO, Tommy Rodriguez) does not use "virtual assistants" and has no relationship (contractual or otherwise) with any company or service provider in Bangladesh. As the company has shown over & over on its website and various social media platforms, we utilize a staff of more than 100 employees based primarily in Bogota, Colombia. These hard-working men and women provide the management services promised in our customer agreements: we help investors set up an online store on Amazon.com; identify products to sell; source, buy, and ship those products to consumers; handle customer service requests; and work directly with Amazon agents on our clients' behalf if/when their stores are temporarily suspended. 

This report's allegation that Automation Empire makes any assurances or claims about our clients' "profit margins" or expected return-on-investment is categorically false. Automation Empire makes no promises or guarantees regarding the financial returns our clients may or may not experience. Our contract explicitly states that the typical ramp-up period before most clients begin earning a profit is at least six (6) months, and further states -- IN ALL CAPS -- that there is no guarantee that our clients will make any money whatsoever using our service or selling products on Amazon. Further, all of our promotional material and advertisements contain express disclaimers stating that investment in our e-commerce service involves the risk of loss, and that other clients' results do not necessarily reflect what is typical or common. 

We do not "turn off" or "shut down" our clients' stores during the first year of service. Sometimes, Amazon will suspend or "black out" a store if it appears the store owner has violated Amazon's Terms of Service and/or Seller Rules, but that is something Automation Empire cannot prevent or otherwise control. After the first full year of service with us, if our client declines to pay a $5,000 annual renewal fee to continue with our service, we will typically discontinue service and deactivate the client's store. However, any claim that we arbitrarily "shut down" this user's store 6 months into the first year of his contract is simply untrue...and we certainly would not do so simply because the client "asked nicely" why his/her store was "not making money." 

All other remarks in this report suggesting that Mr. Rodriguez is "hiding money" or perpetrating "a scam" are unsubstantiated, defamatory, and legally actionable. Automation Empire has numerous 5-star customer ratings and maintains an A-rating with the Better Business Bureau. Our company works with certified public accountants and attorneys (both in-house and externally) to ensure that all of our services remain consistently compliant and accurately reported. 

In sum, we vehemently deny and refute the contents of this report, and request that the report be removed from this site immediately in order to mitigate any further financial or reputational harm. Thank you. 

I had a similar experience with Tommy Rodriguez store. He blocked me on his fb after i complained to him that i wasn't making any money from his Amazon automation business. He even insulted me saying i was going broke and desperate that was why i was asking him for my money.

Hello, I have a similar situation and will file a lawsuit against Tommy Rodriguez and his Automation Empire. Perhaps if we team up and find others we can file a class-action lawsuit.

Since you say that he stashes his cash, have you considered reporting the activities to the IRS? please email me at [email protected].
