Commission Robot SCAM?

Hello,

I have been a Commission Robot member since the pre launch date.

I paid $97 to lock in my membership with Commission Robot and also pay a monthly advertising fee ($400) and monthly administration fee ($47).

TOTAL: $544 USD
per month.

The system is meant to start profitable PPC campaigns for you and divert traffic to you ClickBank Affiliate links.

So far, I have had 256 CLICKS and NO SALES. The other forums I have read (Before the company shut them down) had over 50 members who had the same results.

I have started this post here to see how other members of Commission Robot are going and to see if the results are consistant with what I am experiencing.

I hope that Darren Gaudry and Commission Robot can not shut down this forum, I am sure that scam.com is independant.

Commission Robot
members, please let the world know.

What are your RESULTS?

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Hi all

I just received an email from Darren promoting a Stock Trading Robot.

Unfortunately when I try and go to the website - http://www.trystocktradingrobot.com/ - all that comes up is a blank page but with the following error message:

Unauthorized URL Modifiction

Does anyone else get the same thing happening?

Now I can tell from the URL addresses in the Status bar of my browser that this website rotates through a number of different people's clickbank IDs, this got me thinking that these people could possibly be Commission Robot members ...

I know one of the products promoted with Commission Robot is FAP TURBO and when I do a search through Google there is an ad there with the URL http://www.tryfapturbo.com/ which is also a rotator and I know is one of Darren's from a WHOIS lookup and exactly the same thing is happening - blank page with the error message...

This concerns me as this could be a possible reason as to why I have had 195 clicks and ZERO sales with Commission Robot as nothing comes up once the URLs are clicked on???

I have emailed Darren with this information and have asked him to look into this and get back to me so I will keep you informed...

Here's hoping for an answer hey!!!

Unauthorized URL modification message from ClickBank
If you are using TinyURL to mask your ClickBank affiliate URLs and suddenly start getting 'Unauthorized URL modification' message (well, actually it says 'Unauthorized URL Modifiction' - oh my god, ClickBank, learn to spell) - that's probably because you are using a browser plugin or some software that causes this to occur. Rest assured, other people will still be properly redirected to the merchant's website through your link, unless they use that software as well. The most common case is using a Firefox plugin called NoScript. If you turn it off temporarily (click the 'S' on your status bar and then 'Allow scripts globablly (dangerous'), you will notice that ClickBank affiliate URLs are once again redirecting properly through TinyURL. Alternatively you can just disable its XSS cross-site sanitizing function (although that will prevent NoScript from protecting you against XSS attacks).

but, that said, i am not paying anything for any stock market or forex robot.

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

I have been involved in Commission Robot since Prelaunch and IU was really excited about the program especially after hearing all the testimonials.

However after the official launch (Go,go,go....) I paid my dues and right now I am glad I only went into the second level ($247) because so far I only got 131 clicks but NO SALES.

I wrote an email to customer service asking what the conversion rate would be but so far did not get any answer back.

I really hope this whole thing turns around otherwise Darren Gaudry will be in deep trouble for all the promises he maid.

Still no clicks today and no sales. No updates from Darren or Commission Robot about improvments to PPC campaigns.

I just noticed that they shut down a wordpress blog and threatened the owners with copyright infringement. The owners of this program do not like us talking about the miserable results of the Commission Robot program.

Why would Darren Gaudry risk his good name on a possible scam? No one is making mney from this program except him!

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

can someone send me the link with the next video update? i don't get emails off Darren or CR anymore even though i hold a position - i have yet to subscribe for the first month. I was thinking of getting the Pro package, but waiting too see some results!!! I feel for you guys, especially those who have little cash flow.

I just want to ask this...

If CR did actually work - it made a profit - brought more money in that you spent.. then why would Darren share it? Why pick 500 random people from across the world that he has never met before if it WORKS? There is no incentive for him to do so. AND if there is an incentive, why limit it to 500 people, and random people at that? The fact that the billing arrangements changed so we cannot use clickbank and ensure we get our money back if we dont see profits shows Darren (and the team) lack confidence in ComRobot OR they knew before the launch that it doesnt work and want a quick $$ from people paying the first month with no refund opportunity. Combined with the no Upgrade/Downgrade capability of CR, they raise their chances of people subscribing to the Pro and Dominator packages, which brings them in a greater amount of quick $

So lets just say for arguments sake that 500 people pick 'pro' do to the inability to upgrade later on.

500 x 347 = $173,500

Now lets say that he is actually using the 300 dollars in advertising for us (somewhere)..

500 x 47 = $23,500

Average salary in USA is approx 23k so if its a "scam" type scheme, darren will make the average US persons salary per year in ONE month. If he just fakes the clicks on all members and doesn't spend any of the money on advertising, he takes home $173k in ONE Month.

Now lets just say that your 60-day money back guarantee ($97 to guarantee position) has run out, because you decided to go for it for the first month and it has since run out. Darren will also secure 500 x 97 = $48,500

So he'll make in the first month either
23,500 + 48,500 = $72,000 in ONE Month
OR 48,500 + 173,500 = $222,000 in ONE Month

so either way he is gonna make more than the average US salary per year in one month. That should do him for this years worth of work.

I have never seen nor heard from the "team" so for all we know, it could be Darren doing everything with his wife - his wife is the 'girl they hired' to answer our emails.

So really unless the questions above can be answered by Darren with a logical and reasonable answer, i cannot see his incentive for sharing CR other than to make money of himself quickly (and to some extent quietly - only 500 members involved - targeted towards newbies - suggests they do not spend much time on internet, blogging etc. so word of his CR Disaster may not spread so far..)

Sorry this post is long, i hope it doesn't bore you guys

regards

luke

p.s. Darren has gotta be careful, he doesn't know what maniac could sign up for this - it fails - they HUNT HIM DOWN lol we all know there are weird ass people out there. personally I wouldn't resort to violence, but I would look into legal action, especially if all 500 people saw no results.

p.s.s I have some faith that Darren is honest an truthful, his reputation, showing that holiday video. but again an experience marketer would use these tools to bring in the customers, develop a relationship with them.
It just seems every positive point i can think of, comes with a cyncical view, both plausible, but which one is right? Only Profit will tell us.

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

I too have ZERO sales at this stage...250+ hits.

In the last couple of days, I have had 5 clicks only. Has the robot crashed?

I cant see how affiliate marketing via clickbank can be a sustainable business. Most ads by commission robot are directed at internet marketers. Why would any internet marketer buy clickbank products from other sellers instead of registering as affiliates and buying under their own ID instead.

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Hi folks,

I activated the "Robot" eight days ago and so far, zero results. I have 248 clicks to date and nothing is happening.

I think we should all stick together on this and ask for a full refund, there is ***** in numbers. All the testing was supposed to have been done prior to our investment or at least most of it.

I have emailed Darren several times and he fobs me off the CR support team who are sending me automated responses also!

I picked the Dominator package and am very dissapointed and frustrated to be honest plus on review I don't like the idea of selling products that I know nothing about, so looking back, this was a bad investment on both counts, I rushed into and I am sorry now.

But I really think we should all stick together and request a full refund. A person I got to know over the last few days online has been telling me about FABTurbo and Day Trading Robot how their codes are inconsistent with the daily markets and are in danger of being shut down.

Unfortunately there are alot of exploiters out there. Every programme Darren introduced to the marketplace that I have partaken in have not worked out for me because I believe that they were completely sold on hype and bad products. I think CR is another one.

I don't think Darren is a bad bloke, I just think he likes money alot and bends the truth to get it.

Nevertheless, lets not get too dissapointed, we can learn from this and still seek to get a full return of our hard earned money that is more thank likely owed to the credit card companies.

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

On another final point regarding CR. I know of one of the marketers that did a testimonial for Darren on the CR intro site.

I have tried to call him, Skype him, email and he is not responding to any of either. This is speaking volumes to me and the integrity of these gentlemen.

I will not mention any names here but I do find it interesting. I have talked to many people on different forums who have not made a penny either from this.

I think if something doesn't change shortly with the "Robot", a fairly large case is imminent.

Onwards and upwards "Roboteers"

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Total 248 clicks - which has gone down.
1 click today.

I cannot believe that Darren Gaudry could do this.

It's not like its only cost us a few dollars. It is a lot of money for most people and the fact that he picked on newbies makes it even worse.

I hope it turns around and Darren keeps his good name.

What are the chances of getting a fefund?

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

On 03/23/2009 I paid $97 to lock in my position with commission robot.

On the release date of commission robot, I paid the cheapest fee + admin fee.

As of today, 61 clicks, and NO SALES

What a scam. He's living the nice life traveling around the world on our payments.

Rott in hell Darren, FU

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

If I do not see a single sale by the first of the month I am contacting my credit card company to dispute all the charges. I have not received any response to my questions using the contact form on the robot. There is also no phone number or contact info posted ANYWHERE.

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

If this is definitely a scam, which it looks like - everyone that signed up must pursue Darren Gaudry on the internet by relentlessly posting at forums, writing reviews, writing articles, comment on blogs, twitter, facebook, you tube and everywhere else you can think of to make sure his name is mud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

I have requested a full refund in the interest of fair trade. I doubt very much he will return the funds but he is in for a nasty ride if he doesn't start issuing refunds shortly.

I personally won't let Darren Guadry get away with this. $600 might not be alot to him but it sure is a damn months rent to me and more. I will wait and see his response first before I take it any further.

I have no doubt that his name will be blackened across the internet and nobody will purchase anything from him again, I don't think he wants this although this isn't a great start. I thought his PTW and MIB programmes were total ripp offs anyway but alot of people made money from them.

Of course the no refund policy kicked in with them also without full disclosure. No doubt he is in for a rough one....but to be fair, he brought it upon himself by taking advantage of newbie's to the internet.

Be patient "Roboteers"

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

We should all contact clickbank and ask for our initial $97 refund. I dont see why they wouldnt honour our request.

We should also demand CR to give us a breakdown of the advertising costs and to provide evidence that the advertising was paid.

Consumer Affairs inAustralia will also be contacted.

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Sent to Comm. Robot on Sat. 4-25-09

Darren and Staff,

I am very concerned when I have had NO SALES ($0.00 Dollars) in 7 full days (not counting Fri 4-17-09)! I have the “DOMINATOR” position... enough said there.

I have had a total of 271 Clicks and 245 Hops. This is very depressing...

When I watched the Testimonial Videos Chris Andrews had sales in 4 out of 7 days and in 3 weeks made over $557.00; Richard Williams had 11 sales week ending 3-11 for a total of $542.00 in sales; Bill had 6 sales from 3-8 thru 3-13 for $192.00; and Walt Kreutzman had 5 sales in 2 days... and there were more testimonials that I did not watch... too depressing???

I'm confused with these stats... can you HELP ME? I still have faith in you Darren and hope that I can still break even in the last 3 weeks before another $447.00 plus is due!

Thanks!


Sent this one on Mon. 4-27-09, 4:35pm EST

What Is The Problem?

So far I've paid into Comm. Robot $583.57 (includes SWERG fee & IL Stae Sales tax... none of which would have been paid if I had not joined Comm. Robot).

9.75 Days, 277 Clicks, 250 Hops (200 of those Hops were from/to vendor Maverk66)... and for this past Sat., Sun. & Mon. = 5 Clicks (only x1 click for today - Mon.)...

And $0.00 in Sales...

This is not what I signed up for... nor is it what was presented in all the video testimonies!

What Is The Problem?

Sincerely Confused!


P.S. It's Starting To Smell Very Fishy! And I thought I had a good sense of smell! The only program/scam I ever received my money back from was "Le Club Prive" $1,495.00 Maybe this will be the 2cnd one!

P.S.S. Instinct told me to request my money back by starting with SWERG before the 3 business day rule... then we got the "Ramping Up" crap and I just wanted to believe... isn't that how they always get us? lol

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Hey guys, 3 from our family have joined up with the dominator pack.

Just to get a good idea of the kind of stats we're looking at here:

We got on average 801 clicks between the 3 of us and 0 sales!

I don't care if you're the crappiest marketer in the world, with 800 clicks you would at least have a few sales!

I emailed support to explain this, I also suggested that they may be getting clicks but they're not converting because the landing pages, ads, etc aren't doing the job and NO reply.

I only got 2 clicks today which means that maybe we've blown through our monthly budget in just over a week.

All I know is that we sure as hell can't maintain $447 per month each for no return, hell no am I handing over my money for nothing in return.

Guys, take home message - this sounded too good and it was, if the
testimonials were legit, they obviously had no clue how the system would work with large volumes of people.

So, take that money and invest it in yourselves!, do free marketing, set up free blogs, squidoo pages, hubpages and I guarantee you'll get more out of it then you would with this program, plus you'll be able to sleep better at night.

Peace out.

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Hi all

I think everyone needs to have a read of this blog about how someone was able to get a refund from Darren's other "baby" - Passport To Wealth...

http://www.passportscam.com/passport-wealth-scam-blog/

I'm sure if Commission Robot continues to fail, then if we all stick together and pursue this, then we should be able to get some action...

In Australia there is a law against providing false & misleading information - so far that's all I've received with Commission Robot - so action needs be taken if Darren doesn't come up with the goods...

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Yes, I agree with all above posts.

I will definetly be looking into legal action to reclaim the money for product which was not as described.

Only 4 clicks in the last 24 hours and NO sales.

Surprise Surprise!

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Hi guys. I can relate to everything posted so far. Has the robot crashed. When i logged in to the com robot homepage it goes in but when i click on the robot overview icon for eg,it shuts down the page and goes back into the login page. Surely this bloke cant be ripping people off this bad. It sounds too unbelievable considering his reputation. If i still havent made any sales. Ill be starting to get worried as i have made no sales with about 140 clicks. Any response would be appreciated.

I think we should make his details available to all members of Commission Robot.

We have a clear financial interest in his company considering we have invested our hard earned money in this latest program.

Still no clicks, no sales and no response from Darren. What is going on?

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

No success yet???? 2 clicks per day over the past 3 days.
No reply from admin ticket.
No communication from admin to members to update them.
Sunday I contacted ACA with this story and I have not heard back yet but I suggest other members follow my lead. The Subject line was something like.

Australian Internet Millionaire Scams Mums & Dads.

http://aca.ninemsn.com.au

I responded to an add in the local paper. It promoted a system where a robot would promote products through Clickbank.com bringing in affiliate sales to its members. This was a pre launch campaign. The system has been up and running since April the 18th with what i can tell to be no results to 99.9% of members.
About 4 weeks prior to launching we received an email to guarantee your position as only 500 members would be accepted. The fee was $144 Aus. When the system launch Darren did a video stating that there a 4 levels of entry starting at $147 - $447 US and once you chose your level you could not upgrade or downgrade. Well you can guess where most of us poor suckers chose to enter and yes thats $670 Aust plus the $147 paid previously. Now I'm still hopefull that this system will start to work but with no follow up from Darren on the systems failure in this first 8 days of operation I'm starting to wonder. I'm telling you this so if it is a scam you can do as much research on CommissionRobot.com before it is pulled of the net. Some members started blogs in order to communicate with other members which have been pulled down now since an email was sent out. The email Follows.
Hi Gang,

Darren here, I trust you’re all getting more sleep than I am… ;-)

Put your reading glasses on, this is a long one, but a MUST read.

Now that the Robot system is generating clicks from your marketing budgets, the most common questions we're being asked concern sales conversion ratios. The sales conversion ratio is the term for the relationship between clicks (Clickbank calls them hops) and actual product sales.

Affiliate marketers love to talk conversion ratios. I've spent hundreds of hours listening to bull sessions when us marketing types get together and brag about our conversion ratios. It is a fascinating topic.

A common mistake of newbie marketers -- and even experienced marketers -- is to calculate the sales conversion ratio without enough data. A statistical measure that is calculated without enough data is said to be not statistically significant. What does this mean? Simple -- the influence of chance is still too strong to have confidence in the result.

This is heavy stuff, so let's go to a real-life example. One of our members actually wrote to us to tell us that he made a sale on his very first click! I couldn't believe it, but with the number of members we have it was bound to happen. In fact, most likely it happened to more than one of you.

So at the time of his first sale, this member actually had a 100% conversion ratio. But is he going to make 50 sales from his first 50 clicks? Of course not. The conversion ratio at the time of his first sale lacked statistical significance.

So how many sales do you have to make to have confidence that your conversion ratio is statistically significant? More than you might think. An old marketing rule of thumb says that you need at least 7 conversions to have reasonable confidence in your conversion ratio, and 12 conversions to have strong confidence.

I've been in this business a lot of years, and what I've learned is that there's only one statistic that matters at the end of the day. Hint: it's not the sales conversion ratio. The bottom line? Return on investment. Sales conversion ratio is only one component of ROI. Cost per click, commission per sale, and other factors also come into play.

Before I wrap up, a word about recurring sales. Many of the products the Robot promotes on your behalf are membership or continuity products. In other words, these products are recurring sales and the customer is typically charged on a monthly basis. What does this mean for you? When a customer you send buys a recurring product, you will earn a commission not just on the first charge but on all the future recurring charges. Keep this in mind when gauging ROI.

I'm still working long hours with the Robot team to make sure that the Robot system is working optimally, and there are some big plans in the works. I haven't had the chance to take the time to shoot and edit a video update, but look for one around mid next week guys.

Be Blessed
Darren Gaudry

VERY IMPORTANT – IS YOUR ACCOUNT AT RISK OF BEING TERMINATED?

P.S. It has come to our attention that some members have registered domain names or created URLs with the trademarked name Commission Robot. Some members are also using the logos and graphics without permission. This puts your account in jeopardy. Please read the news section in the Commission Robot member back office if you think this may impact you, as we have already suspended two accounts, and our lawyers are reviewing a number of other offenders as this very moment.

I don't know if I am doing the right thing in reporting this to you. I don't know if Darren has gone out believing this system would work or if he to has been scammed into some joint venture with the two guys that approached him. What I do know is if it is a scam it is the members that will lose their money not Darren Gaudry.

I await your response.
A could be SUCKER.


P.S.
I forgot to mention that the $670 fee is a monthly fee. Being $47US for Admin and $400US for PPC advertising

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Greetings Roboteers,

It seems that this thread is gathering momentum and other members from other forums are joining us. My clicks have now gone into reverse...way to go Robot!

I have contacted my credit card company to proceed with a chargeback and I was informed that I have to wait the full 30 days before I can do it but they can get it back for me which is a relief. There is a small bit of paperwork involved but I don't care to be honest.

So Darren has got 30 days minus a nine days in my books to put this right or he will lose my money. I would suggest that everybody do this. I tried to issue a refund request from SWREG but for some reason cannot, the pages won't allow me to which is kinda weird.

Remember we are entitled to our money back if no service has been provided to us and it hasn't. I have also asked Darren for written proof that the funds I paid for advertising were in fact paid for advertising and asked that they be linked to my clickbank account.

This won't happen by the way because we are not supposed to know how the Robot works...God forbid we find out!!
Nevertheless I'm getting my money back and that's all that matters and I strongly urge everybody else to request a refund based upon fair trade and fraudulent activity from SWREG and if you cannot get any responses from either Darren or them, contact your bank immediately.

Banks like to hear that you have gone the proper route before calling them about a chargeback.

Hope this helps folks, lets all keep giving each other updates if possible or our respective progress.

Dominator out!

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

I have now gone from 250 clicks to 220 clicks...and yet this is the reply I received from admin today...


"As marketing campaigns are added to and dropped from the Robot system, you will see fluctuations in click traffic. This is normal. We have reviewed your account and it is operating properly."


If this is normal, I wonder how they define unusual?

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

I think you just need to set the date back to the 18th. By default it only shows the last 7 days. Stupid but true!

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Any one fancy a "phone Darren athon" well lets get down to business:-
Darren Gaudrey
Phone 754717677
Fax 754717317
This is an Australian number, for anyone wishing to contact Darren and wish him glad tideings from outside Australia simply put the prefix 001161 before the number.
Remember to check Australian Eastern Standard Time, it would be a waste of time outside of business hours.

On another point, If anyone has the skills to make a copy of the video on the commbot website promising us untold wealth, make a copy before it disappears along with the promises made.

p.s. The phone and fax number are available for anyone on the web, domain search whois
darrengaudry.com

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

4 clicks yesterday.
2 clicks today.

Whoa!, the stampede of traffic is killing me!

Notice how everything's gone silent?, no communication from him?, wasn't he meant to change the site's colors or something?, they haven't even done that, seems like nothing's happening there, no activity, it's gone completely silent.

I was also shocked to see a lot of sites pulled that were going to give reviews of Comm Robot citing "copyright infringement", we'll I'm glad we have this site so we're not gagged into silence, the truth has to be told.

Darren, you've got some 'splainin' to do.

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

I got a response today from them regarding my refund request, it went a little bit like this:

"Dear _________,

Thank you for your email.

The Commission Robot terms and conditions of service clearly state that Commission Robot packages are not refundable. Here is the clause from our terms and conditions that can be reviewed on the Commission Robot Get Started page:

No Refunds: You must also understand and agree that all campaign fees are completely non-refundable, as these monies are automatically paid into the Commission Robots marketing fund to cover the advertising on the various Pay-Per-Click advertising networks.

You agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions when you purchased your Robot package.

If you would like to cancel any further billings on your Robot package, please email help@commissionrobot.com us. If your account is canceled you will not be billed again, but you will continue to receive access to your account and Robot clicks as usual until the end of the current billing period.

Best regards,

Catherine
"

So, this is what we are dealing with. I replied back sternly stating to them that I will be reporting them to various fraud agencies and online media channels and that my bank had started proceedings regarding a chargeback. It will be a day or so before they get back to me but this is what we are dealing with. They don't really care that we have made no money, as long as they get theirs. This enters the false advertising arena.

Will keep you guys posted.
Dominator

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

Ok so just checked my Dads entry level account and he's had 2 hops advertised in the past 2 days.

So, the commission robot is advertising 1 hop all day for you lucky people at entry level.

Checking my Dominator account, The account that was going to make us in the region of $4000 a month. WooHoo...

Has had 4 hops in the past 2 days.
1 of which is for a product, Panicaway, how to cure panic attacks.

Maybe darren found it while panicing about how he was going to get himself out of this mess!!??

So with my 270 hits so far and no sales.... at the current rate of 2 hits a day, im gona have to wait... how long for a sale??

Oh thats right we can really truly calculate the conversion rate, or return of investment until we've had 7 sales.
Wow, so im gona have to keep piling $447 a month into somethin for about 6 months before i find out if its working or not???????

hahahahahahaahah

Re: Commission Robot SCAM?

I have still one vendor listed but only got 1 click in the last 2 days. WOW!!!

I have a total of 137 clicks since beginning but no sales.

I also sent two requests to support but no answers from them.

I suggest that everybody sends in a request for a full refund including the $97 fee to guarantee our spot. Let's see if we get some kind of ***** there.
