    Ecommerce management company that charges $25K for their services with a money back guarantee. Since I started with them in 2023, their employees have stolen an additional $7,000 on my credit cards, they are not responding in any timely manner to get things fixed with my deactivated ecom stores, and I am now in the hole a total of $39,000 from my initial investment of $25,000. This company needs to be put on public notice that they cannot operate in this felonious fraudulent way. Their parent company is AI Direct LLC. I am seeking full refund plus the being made whole of the $7,000 stolen from me. The remaining $7,000 to total the $39K is locked up in my deactivated ecom store, so I will continue trying to obtain that on my own
