Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

(this is my story, but it happened to several others the same way)

Keeping this short, we met on Clubhouse where he delivered value for free. He does know his stuff, and he talks it up on Clubhouse, but once you hire him and send him money, he ghosts you. Doesn't show up on zoom over and over with multiple excuses. Got into an accident, might have a concussion, then next thing you know he's traveling and that is why he can't show up. But with no notice. Says he will show up for real this time, then does not. He's in the shower (on his phone apparently) when you're supposed to zoom. Traffic. All the excuses.

Sob stories of his partner leaving him taking all his money, women stealing his watches, as if he is the victim. He says this to make you think he's naive and feel bad for him, all the while he's setting you up to take your money and not deliver.

PayPal has blocked him, Stripe is about to, as this has been going on for some time and multiple people have disputed transactions. I was able to get my money back through my credit union, after 25 pages of proof and excuses as to why he wasn't delivering after I sent him money.

After several of us complained on Messenger, he deleted us after only doing one out of three group zooms (and never 1:1 zooms).

Interesting how he doesn't have an official business Instagram (and only weeks ago put up a biz page). Only shares his course and packages to his friends on his personal facebook page. Googling him you don't find much as he doesn't use his real, full name. And once you do google Jeremy Michael Derks you find arrest records in various states with slightly different birth dates.

Shame. If he just showed up and delivered he'd have quite the following.

We met Jeremy Michael Derks through a mutual friend at church here in Las Vegas. Upon meeting Jeremy, he mentioned an e-commerce business he maintains and provides services through Shopify called “The Drop Shipping Company, LLC.” After further in-depth discussion with Jeremy, we decided to move forward with the investment. Jeremy requested an initial investment of $30,000 to build, maintain and provide services for 2 Shopify stores for a duration of 24 months and said they would be up and running within 3-4 days after the initial investment was paid. We paid Jeremy the initial amount of $30,000 through a wire transfer from our bank (Navy Federal) on or around May 17th, 2023, in which Jeremy confirmed the receipt of the payment. Once the payment was received Jeremy then began to build the stores with our cooperation and was communicating as needed. We reached the 3–4-day period and did not have any of our stores up and running, soon thereafter days turned into weeks, and we started receiving multiple excuses from Jeremy as to why the stores were not finished. Jeremy then started to become less communicative and less responsive to building the stores and maintaining the ads and sales as promised. We grew suspicious during this time and started to do more research on Jeremy using the internet and found multiple reports, complaints, videos, and testimonies about Jeremy being a con artist and scamming multiple people for years out of tens of thousands of dollars if not hundreds. Since then, Jeremy has continued to neglect his commitment to building our stores and does not communicate the progress, status, or his intentions. We asked for the money back and he responded by saying he would give us stores that are already built and making $2,000 -$5,000 a month but that was as far as it went, a verbal commitment and no action. It has been over a month now. 

WE HAVE FILED A POLICE REPORT AND HAVE ALSO STARTED AN INVESTIGATION ON JEREMY WITH THE FBI AND DOJ WITH THE HELP OF OTHER VICTIMS. WE ARE BUILDING A FEDERAL LAWSUIT AND FEDERAL CHARGES AGAINST JEREMY. IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIAPTE PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY AT [email protected]
