SALT LAKE CITY — In February 2022, an eyebrow raising summit called, hosted by Jeremiah Evans, the brash, Utah-based entrepreneur who calls himself "The Bull."
The Deseret News obtained 51 separate complaints filed with the Utah Department of Commerce's Division of Consumer Protection since March 2022 against companies associated with Evans, most naming Alpha Influence LLC. The company's registration with Utah Division of Corporations expired in July. In an emailed statement to the Deseret News, Evans described the company as "an e-commerce platform that managed a drop-shipping arrangement through a signed contract that allowed for products to be listed on Amazon.com, then purchased from a third-party retailer to ship directly to the consumer after an order was placed."
Evans' statement did not elaborate on how or why the transition to another platform had not been successful, and did not address the Division of Consumer Protection complaints. Evans did not respond when asked to elaborate.Many of the complaints name Evans, claiming he used his social media presence to recruit clients for Alpha Influence, which was registered in Springville.
Goeckeritz, the dentist from Draper, said he learned about Alpha Influence through a former employee who claimed to be making up to $7,000 each month with the company. He consulted his accountant and his financial planner, and spent about three months learning about dropshipping and e-commerce. The investment seemed solid — "his company would completely monitor the store. There was zero requirement for me other than paying the monthly bill and making sure there was a working capital.
Many complainants also say their stores were shut down because they were in violation of Amazon's terms and conditions.
TL:DR, if you come across a meathead who calls himself 'The Bull'. Best not to give him $40,000
