Illusions of Grandeur

People are amazing in what they say and really believe. My roommate was offered a job with AEUSA and within a few days got a raise up to $4,000 a month, was offered full medical coverage, a cell phone and a company car all within 30 days. In 3 months you get a house with free electricity too and a expense account and Paid vacations. Theo Stevens (the owner), was all about hiring people and said anything to get people. He claims that all of these are services he provides. http://aeusa.biz/services.html and these are the perks. http://aeusa.biz/employeebenefits.html

I called and got a job doing the web design and IT work, of which after 2 weeks of the offices "getting ready" I never had any work, the website that is up, he created himself using yahoo sitebuilder. Still though I being promised that I was getting paid never less as if money was no object to him. He told me after I got hired that he was outsourcing the website to a company and wanted me to just over see it and it would be done in a couple of months. So wasting my time again to do nothing?

We kept meeting at places and he never had the money to pay for the meetings rooms. In one week, he asked that my roommate hire 40 telemarketers and 10 sales reps. Telling all of us to hire, hire, hire, 40 people calling, 10 going door to door, an assistant for me even though he told me he outsourced it anyways and then told me that he was going to a hire a person for IT. (So like what will I do then and why hire a person to help do something that I have nothing to do in the first place?)

We get there today and he tells us there is only 5 offices and no phones and he only wanted 10 people which is a lie because he had no offices until he pays the other office off. Like 40 people went to dunkin doughnuts to go over calling pitches all from their own cell phones, I couldn't stand looking at all these innocent people being used so I knew monday was going to be my last day.

The more I asked questions the more I found out, Theo works at Cracker Barrel, he has this huge plan that he believes with all his heart will happen. He wants us to plan a multi-million dollar Christmas ball in a month and half, yet is unable to pay a $300 bill from last Wednesday for one office. Yet, wants to open up 290 offices across the country and talked about buying out Comcast, starting his own electric company, and the company car was going to be custom designed by him for $350,000 and we all will get one in 30 days.

So much talk about how every Fortune 200 knows Theo this and that. He claims Yahoo and BofA are vendors of his company but reality is he has a account with Bank of America so he considers them vendors / investors of the company. Yahoo hosts his email so they are a investor in his company. All major twist on reality. There are no investors, just like I do have a legit business at www.pixelfusions.net and I used BP gas today, so BP is an investor or vendor of my company. Yeah right!!! That's his thoughts though and so every person he pays to do a service with, he talks about them as if they are backers of his company. Check out this page. http://aeusa.biz/vendors.html and http://aeusa.biz/aboutus.html

In addition to everything Theo doesn't have a car and doesn't have a license so we were picking him up and taking him everywhere with believing all these plans of paradise that really sound like a serious mental issue after you start asking questions. Stay away from http://aeusa.biz/, its a scam.

He calls people telling them he has jobs for them such as we need plumbers. Then they get there and he wants them to pay $20 to get 20 jobs. At first it was on the spot they find out what jobs they get, then it became $20 for legal fees and then they get the contract. Then it was $1 per job and they get up to 20 jobs with no definition of what a job would be. (A site / per day or is a job to pick up a rock or to complete the whole building, everything is vague) As we are the administration, we still had no idea how the whole thing worked. Basically from what I gathered you scam people to give you $20 claiming you have jobs for them. Reality no jobs exist, he wants to use the $20 fees to basically build skyscrapers, franchises and such and then use the contracts that people bought into it to do the work. So they pay for the chance to work for you. When asked when will these people know the details of the job. Answer, sometime next year. So they pay for something now that they don't even know what they are paying for and honestly may never hear back from.

Everything changes day to day. My roommate and I quit at the same time, its crazy, all the talk but there's no way we are going to get paid. How can someone pay over $125,000 for a month of wages (cost of wages changes all time, he talked about paying bi-weekly lately) plus like $38,000 for the offices when you can't pay a $300 for a one day use of an office. There will be no offices for the CCR's, I was promised one from the start, one day it was Cool Springs, another West End, then another lets go outside and talk, and I ended up at meeting at places like Shoney's and all over. I spent so much gas and wasted time believing in this get rich scheme. Or for Theo a rags to riches story, he really was going to leave nashville to go back to Knoxville and buy a house, truck and open offices there all after like 3 days here in nashville. His administration (all whom quit expect for HR) convinced him that his idea can't generate the $40,000 a day like he wanted just like that without him there. We didn't even understand how the company works, the more we asked the more confused we got. Something about promo cards that he contractor was so supposed to buy like 20 of them or he was counting on them to buy that much.

In addition to my blog about it, feel free to read this blog as well on her experience there. If it sounds too good to be true, trust me it isn't. I'm not the only person who is upset about this, some CCR's have said that he is being investigated for fraud in a few counties anyways.
