I got sucked into Vector Marketing. $125, 24 hours of unpaid training, and about 8 demos later I sold like 4 or 5 knives and got a check for about $120. So I'd say just find a real job and make money the normal way. [ sillyrob's advice column | Ask sillyrob A Question ]

I went ahead and watched the sales video, and it has all the usual trappings of a scam, but I haven't seen the product personally so I am not prepared to answer is "Xtreme Profit Robot" is a ripoff or not.
I did a little digging, and found dozens and of fake reviews for this product. Each one telling you how great it is and offering you a link to click to buy it... a link for which they will get paid.
While I couldn't find ONE honest review of the product (this is a bad sign,) I did find something that will tell you WHAT the product is.
It turns out that the tutorial videos for this product are hosted on YouTube, and I found then quite by accident. Here is a link to the first one:
... and if you click to show the other videos on the account, you will have the full idea of what is really in the package.
I will watch them later, if I have a chance, but I am not terribly excited about this. It sounds like a dozen other products released in the last year.
Any time you hear someone say they can make millions with the push of a button, or in this case, that they made money by accident because they turned it on before they went to sleep... LOOK OUT!
If you add to that the old saw about: "I was just like you, and now that I have made it... I want to help the little guy." You pretty much lock it in as a scam.
