Push Button Profits Scam? Yes It Is In My Opinion!
Push Button Profits is yet another money making opportunity trying to sell you a “fully automated” business opportunity. The idea of a “fully automated” business opportunity is that you pay Push Button Profits and you earn vast amounts of money with very little time or effort on your part. I hate to break it to you, but this type of business opportunity does not exist. My subscribers have requested that I take a look into Push Button Profits. Here is what I have found.
Push Button Profits Scam Claims
Profits made push button simple.
You can be stuffing your bank account with windfall profits.
The only thing you have to do is one simple step.
Here is how this money making opportunity is presented:
Push Button Profits Scam Reality
Two of the key people behind Push Button Profits are Jeff Gardner and Kit Elliott. Both have a long history of promoting money making opportunities.
Jeff Gardner President of of Gardner Marketing Group, Inc.
Kit Elliott Chief Operating Officer of Gardner Marketing Group, Inc.
They created a website together called wealthworld.com. – Source BBB
They created the Commission Check Club back in 2008. Commissioncheckclub.com now redirects you to the Push Button Profits website.
Here is how Commission Check Club was marketed:
Dear Friend,
Over $1 MILLION DOLLARS in Commission Checks!
That’s my goal in the next 12 months — and I’m well on my way! Every month, my staff prints commission checks (just like the one at the top of this letter) and mails them to people all over the United States who are working with me. We’ve already mailed out TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN CHECKS – and we’re quickly approaching $100,000.00 in Commissions – mailed to our “Members”.
Why should you care?
BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR
PERSONAL INVITATION TO JOIN ME!
I want to send YOU a Monthly Commission Check for $500… $1,000… $2,500… even $5,000 a month – or more – when you follow my simple, proven-to-work system – from the comfort of your home.
Here is one of the reviews of the Commission Check Club:
What can I say, another total waste of time. This guy is ridiculous, a scam at its best. We discovered nothing about his secret system , he just produced 2 videos to get me to sign up under his name, to grant his commission and left me to deal with the numerous up-sells inside this crazy FUNNEL system. He failed to deliver on any promise he made. No, Mr Elliott I am not paying you for these 2 lousy boring videos you created. You D O N ‘ T Deserve it. Stay away by any means.
The most important thing to consider is that along with his MLM scheme promotions he is trying to take advantage of you even with the additional services (auto-responders , banners , landing pages), which he could offer as a solution, instead of trying to overload your computer with his affiliate links. He wants to RIP you OFF for good, he is not letting a chance to get wasted. I wonder how he manages to keep his website alive. One of the worst guys ever in online marketing. – Source webmarketsupport.com
The Push Button Profits money making opportunity is nothing more than a sales funnel designed to sell you Traffic Authority packages.
The income disclosure that is provided by the Traffic Authority does not backup the claims of easy profits that Push Button Profits claims.
“Success with Traffic Authority results only from hard work, dedication, and leadership.” – Source trafficauthority.net
In my opinion, Push Button Profits claims are deceptive and they are scamming you out of your money.
Here is what one person said about their experience with Push Button Profits:
I joined up in PBP. I have to admit. It was impressive at first. I pushed the button and bought a basic package for $220 and I got one sale resulting a $20 commission. Then I waited a couple of weeks to see if any more people would sign up underneath me or if someone would be “placed” underneath me by someone in my upline. (It’s supposedly a forced matrix!) Nope! Nothing! But it was so easy that I decided to try it again. This time I bought a silver package for $660 to see if a larger volume would make any difference. Immediately, peoples’ names and numbers started showing up. First., just a handful, but by the end of the day, I had a list of over 100 people by the end of the day. Wow, I thought! But when all was said and done, I got only one more sale for another $20 commission. Including the 2 charges of $144 plus the $220 plus the $660, I spent well over a grand for $40 in commissions. My advice! Stay away! They’re making tons of money on people’s desire to get out of debt. These same people, Jeff Gardner and Kit Elliot did the same thing to me in a scam they called Wealthworld about 5 years ago. When you see these names anywhere, stay away or you’ll get scammed! – Source beginatzero.com

Push Button Profits Scam Conclusion
In my opinion, Push Button Profits is a recruiting scam. You purchase a money making opportunity that sells you traffic to sell the money making opportunity you just purchased. The people you sell to do the same thing. Push Button Profits is a sales funnel that sells you Traffic Authority packages. There is almost no focus on retail sales. The claims that are made to get you into this money making opportunity are deceptive and are not supported by the income disclaimer provided by Traffic Authority. I would avoid the Push Button Profits money making opportunity.
I brought the $2195.00 package. I got 317 leads then they stopped. I wrote to Eric Bectold. He did not reply. I made about $544.00 with this program. Yes, they scammed me out of about $1600.00. Is it a scam? Are people being paid to write and say that it is not? IT IS A SCAM! They take your money with false promises. Someone in my downline called and told me that they paid money. I was never paid for that person. They pay you on maybe two of all of the paying leads and keep the rest of the money. They thrive on what you do not know, that they are not telling you about all of your paid sign ups. It is an elaoborate SCAM.

Hy,thanks for the review! I received the link to Push Button Profits by an important marketer and I thought ” finally, it is a real system!”. Luckily, after watching the introductory video, I have made a quick research and I came across your review. Is there any legitimate affiliate system that works?

I paid the initial fees yesterday but hesitated before buying traffic. I listened to their webinar today and made up my mind that it was way too expensive. I am so glad I waited before plunking down $220 for traffic. I’ve paid about $70 so far and have asked for a refund. Wish me luck. I am so glad I found this site and should have done my due diligence before spending a penny. Thanks so much for your work in protectecting those of us who didn’t have the information.

I have invested the $147 and $660 for a traffic package. I did not get a reciept that showed the amount they actually charged me for. I’ve been writing to support for over 2 weeks now with no reply. I also wrote to the other url they gave for refunds, again with no reply. I called twice today and both times, everyone was too busy to talk to me. Message said they would call back in business hours, which it was when I called. I just want my money back now. Scam, I think so.

To avoid getting ripped off by any money making scheme, to see if they’re legit or not just google their name. It’s what I do.
loading...
Any “deceptive” emails, or other forms of marketing would likely be from other members trying to do their own marketing (likely to try and save money on the various lead packages that are offered). The company would have no control over this – all they do is sell lead packages via a well-known vendor who taps into the millions of opportunity seekers out there. It takes money, persistence and patience to make any business work. The only way to see if it works is to try for yourself – at least they have a money-back guarantee (except, I’m sure, from any lead packages purchased). They’re obviously geared to the “non-biz-savvy” niche, or those who have money, but no time to devote to their own biz. Good luck and blessings….

I have just read your review on Push Button Profits and couldn’t disagree with you more! The creators of Push Button Profits are Eric Bechtold,, Kit Elliott and Jeff Gardner and these three men have some of the highest integrity I n the online business today. They are not rip-off scam artists as they have been portrayed here and I take great offense at their names being dragged through the mud as they have here on your site. What their system does is it gets you qualified opt-in leads from people who have highly expressed an interest in making more money and starting their own business. The vast majority of people who have joined an online business and have failed is because of lack of traffic to their web site. Every online business needs traffic to survive. You can have the most beautiful web site and offer fantastic products but if you have only a few visitors to your web site then all you have is a beautiful web site and no money coming in becuz you have no traffic. That is what Push Button Profits does! It gives you the traffic that you need from qualified people that are also interested in making more money and each of these leads that you receive are now your new prospects and you need to follow-up with them with an email or phone call to give it that personal touch. The one man said that he bought 2 packages and got a lot of leads but I did not hear him mention anything about doing any follow-up with the 100 leads that he received. This is not Presto Magic push a button and the money starts rolling in and the creators do not claim this. What they do claim is that when you buy a Traffic Package at any level you will start getting clicks to your web site the number depending on how large the package is that you purchased and out of these clicks you WILL get leads that is people who will give you their name, address and phone number and you have a very valuable lead and you are starting to build your list which is very valuable in any online business becuz the money is in the list! What you are doing is using their advertising to advertise your web site to the publicand you spend no money on advertising whatsoever which is very expensive and you can lose a lot of money doing it yourself if you don’t know what you are doing. They spend millions of dollars on advertising and advertise in all of the most popular money making magazines becuz they are advertising geniuses and have created attention grabbing advertising that produces leads.
Theses 3 men have over 100 years of successful online marketing and all have built huge successful businesses on their own and what they have done is to combine all of their talents together and have created Push Button Profits that gets people qualified leads to build their business and you can direct the leqads that you receive to any business that you desire becuz they are your leads and you own them. Now they don’t guarantee that you leads will produce sales. They can’t becuz they can’t predict that nobody can. It’s not a Get Rich Quick Scheme. It’s all a numbers game. It takes work, persistence, integrity and many other things. Another thing that the one man mention is that they give you a whole slew of online training. There is a whole Trtaining Course after you join that they teach you how to successfully market your new business and give you many different ways to do it. And people are making a lot of money with this program and I repeat it’s NOT a scam or a rip-off!
Thank You

Frank I feel sorry for you. This is one of the clearest scams I have looked into. Clearly you have a different opinion.
loading...
There is no scam to it. How can you call it a scam? You are given a web site with a great looking capture page and you pay for clicks to your web site and within a few days you start receiving opt-in leads from people who are interested in your opportunity. They do not guarantee SALES .They guarantee CLICKS! You are building your list for this bus ness or any other business you choose. Traffic is what every online business must have to stay in business and that is what they give you for your money!
Yes, we do have a BIG difference of opinion and when the money starts to come in I will get back for an update for you and all of your readers.
loading...
Frank, I tried PBP. Most of the emails were delivered into spam folders. I tried without success to get Eric and his team to figure out how to avoid spam folders. He ignored me. I cancelled my membership after wasting about $1,200. You are right, it is a numbers game, but if most emails are picked off by gmail’s spam filters, you can not buy enough traffic to make it work. It is definitely a scam. How much have you spent? How much have you made?
loading...
They actually do market it a push button site and they will do all the work. All you have to do is push the big green button. They do not, mention anything about making follow up calls however they do say everything is taken care of by there team. I don’t know what video you watched.

I have to speak here….Eric Bec ( I like to call Duck before you get sucked) stole $3995 from me with his connection with Mr. Kansas himself (T.J. Rohleder) in a big direct mailing scam about 10 years ago. He was selling worthless traffic then. Not one sale but a guaranteed 1% was the “hitch” that he was pitching. Not one single sale and when contacting his so called support, I was told that my mailing had not even gone out on my behalf…..4 months in!!!! Total scam bucket. I don’t know how these guys get away with things but Eric B. was told he could make more money with his hype online and get the speed of the internet on his side and apparently those that don’t know better are falling for it. I been in this industry for a long time and these guys name come up….I run in the opposite direction and stay clear of the smell it leaves. OH my goodness….and High Traffic Academy!!!!! Vick S. stole $5k from me in Abunza….talk about two scammers….making money off others desire and their weaknesses. Shameful!!!!
loading...
Specialfxs69, I could not agree with you more!!! I was totally and completely RIPPED OFF by TJ Rohleder a few years ago by a direct mail program “Guaranteed” to make me thousands of dollars by selling me hot leads and providing a “great system.” I lost $1200.00 to TJ and despite MULTIPLE emails, phone calls, and letters to TJ and his staff: to this day I have yet to hear one word from them….AND he never refunded me a penny, despite my requests for full REFUND which had been “guaranteed”!!! I didn’t have the money to sue the scamming bastard but sure wished I could!! Eric Bec is TJ’s business i.e. scamming partner for many years. He also ripped me off!! DO NOT fall for these POS scammer’s “offers”!!! They steal your money and run! In fact, Eric Bec ran and is now hiding in Florida. He has moved to three different states in the last 2-3 years, undoubtedly to hide from the law. If you see any of these scammers names attached to anything: RUN LIKE HELL AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS!!!! ‘Just my own experience with them and my own opinion.

Ouch! I can’t afford that!
loading...
I’m willing to “GO ALL IN” that your another one of these paid by the business that’s spoken of to write bullshit POSITIVE reviews, lol if you can provide legitimate proof of your “so called easy income” I’ll GO ALL IN IMMEDIATELY
loading...
I fell for the SCAM of PUSHBUTTONPROFITS. IT IS A SCAM! I worked my ass off for 3 months creating my own traffic and also bought traffic….JUST TO HAVE ERIC STEAL my prospects! He was emailing MY prospect list. They are scammers and that’s how they do make money…from stupid people like me who are just trying to make a few extra bucks. I was so dedicated, I even bought a brand new computer and printer/scanner for my home business. THEY are SCAMMERS! I have proof and I am not afraid to “get it out there”!
loading...
What a bunch of B.S.! If you need to throw money away, you’re better off buying a lottery system instead.

I got the sales pitch through an email. It was deceptively making it appear like a job. Once I went through all the info, it turned out to be an MLM business and the product was clicks. Not just clicks but really expensive clicks.
My question to you is, how are they obtaining these clicks? If they are sending emails out to people and if that’s how they get these clicks is by using some sort of deception for people to click, where is the value in these really expensive clicks that people are suppose to pay for? In my opinion jobs and starting a business are two different things…Wow!
My other concern is that why the deception because if they use deception to get people to join their MLM Click business, what are they going to have people do to make a buck online?
I can go on and on, but I will stop here you laid out a lot of info on how the upline gets paid if someone’s downline doesn’t purchase these clicks.
Thanks for your review because people really need to know what they are getting into.
loading...
I was not able to find out how they are getting their clicks.
loading...
I’ve gotten several emails from these people and listened to a couple of audio tapes. Bathe sound so enthusiastic and genuine. This disgusts me. And to think that shared PBP with me in the beginning I thought to be a friend (Nathan D. KY)
loading...
I thought so, just another one of many out there. Thanks!!
loading...
Sheesh. Not only does the name of this “opportunity” sound phony, but so does the the copy writing. Still these con men know what they are doing because there are millions of folks who will fall for this obvious scam anyway.
