Summary
Ecommerce Empire Builders is facing scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) due to allegations of misleading consumers with false promises of financial success through its training programs and pre-built online stores. The FTC claims that the company, led by CEO Peter Prusinowski, has failed to deliver on its promises, leading to significant financial losses for participants.
The FTC’s enforcement actions are part of a broader initiative called Operation AI Comply, aimed at tackling deceptive practices linked to artificial intelligence. Ecommerce Empire Builders allegedly charged consumers around $2,000 for training programs and tens of thousands of dollars for “done for you” online storefronts, with claims that participants could achieve millionaire status. However, many consumers reported receiving minimal financial returns, prompting complaints and regulatory scrutiny. The FTC’s actions reflect its commitment to ensuring that companies using AI do not exploit consumers through exaggerated claims and deceptive marketing practices.
