Erus Amazon Associate Advertiser
Complaint 173106 Details

Got call 5/1/12 announcing an Amazon advertising campaign that would provide me dividends from percentage of Amazon internet sales. Not necessary for me to have merchandise --- only Amazon merchandise. I would get website where my sales would be recorded, dividends deposited. Method = I authorized 2 credit-card payments, one for $4K and another for $3K for a total of $7k. Erus would arrange for my credit-card charges to be interest-free, dividends would pay off the CC debits and then dividends would be my profit. Credit-card payments authorized by me. There have been no dividends, I am paying down the credit-card depits to the tune of $240/mo plus about $40/mo interest. Amazon confirms Erus is an Amazon "sales associate" but not a part of the Amazon business, is authorized to advertise on Amazon website. Amazon takes no responsibility for Erus ads, has no management role in Erus, is unable to seek satisfaction from Erus for their misfeasance. I have gotten calls from numerous Erus reps encouraging me to keep in touch, make sure my website is working, keep looking for my income stream; they advocate I can improve my income potential by learning about how the system works via workshops, advising I send notices to all on my email correspondence, family and friends to visit Amazon website to do their shopping --- to approach my investment as a job, work it.
I made it clear to the enlisting agent that I had nothing to sell, had no time to pursue a sales job, was assured there would be no such requirement. As of today, 10/30/12, I have paid out a total of $1800 to keep my credit-cards in good shape/serve my "Erus" charges.
