I found this posted at RipOffReport.com. It affirmed my decision to ignore this "opportunity". To those who keep asking "where does the money come from?", the answer is from everyone who signs up. Don't let that be you! There's no such thing as money for nothing! Here's the post:
SUBJECT: Push Button Xtreme Total Ripoff!! Get in line and get SCREWED!!! Consider yourself warned.

I unfortunately don't have time to write a full-length story on my experience so I'll just get to the important details: I foolishly paid $104.90 to become a member with a $37/month associated fee. They tell you the program is a profit-sharing matrix and 'No Recruiting Required' - 'Just Get in Line and Get Paid' - '$495/wk with no selling' - these are common pitches for this program. You are supposed to earn commissions every time you cycle through the matrix. I joined PBX just after it launched 4 weeks ago and have not cycled one time- thus haven't made a penny.
The hype surrounding this program is massive. That being said, this report will probably get the attention of recruiters who are promoting this scam. So when you see a rebuttal that says, ' I joined a week ago and I've already cycled and made my money back....blah,blah,blah'. DO NOT BELIEVE IT! They will desperately try to mask this scam with a false sense of integrity because they know potential customers will check this site before signing up. I wish someone had posted a report here before I joined. If so, I never would have signed up for this and my money would still be in my bank account. You've been warned.

tweston: I am very confident that I will cycle again.
I have to take this back.
I waited the first 29 days and cancelled just before I was billed again. Needless to say, I didn't cycle again...
Attention
-----------
If you are in this program and about to cancel, it's almost impossible to ask for a refund after you have cancelled through the website.
I would advise not join if you want to "get in line and get paid".

I joined 10 days ago - but have not "cycled" . . . .YET !!
With any matrix set-up, the ones who get in early will probably cycle quite quickly - but PBX has 14 levels - so a lot of people will have to join before you cycle from say level 10.
Apart from any "cycling" income they have got a good selection of landing/capture pages which can be customized and hosted at no charge - I guess some people will be happy to pay the monthly fee just to use those - and regard any money earned through "cycling" as a bonus.
But if you have joined to make a fast buck - wait on ! !

Funny,
How in the world would you go into any program and expect to make a profit in the first month. Egads, one month wonders are what gives the industry as a whole a bad name. No wonder most people fail, they quit before they begin. lol
If you understood the program, you would know that if you start on the lowest levels, 12th or 13th, it is going to take longer to cycle, no secret here, there are more positions that need to be filled to complete level which pushes you up another level.
I started on 10th level, hardly the top, but I studied the movement and cycled two times in first week. I had a woman from India who registered on 2/6 and was on 13th level, it took her until 2/22 to cycle, so logics says the level you start at dictates the time frame to cycle. She was excited because having spent $3K on several other deals and not making a dime, she was thrilled to death of seeing a measly $27.00. lol
There are many who cycled early, and now there are many who have not cycled in first couple weeks, and even some who are not seeing anything in first month, and it is these people who quit for they didn't take the time to absorb all the information on site.
What is sad is that I have seen many people quit over the years just before they would have made it big. One woman got disgusted when not seeing any results and signing up one person who did nothing in two months. She quit, and the one woman she sponsored rolled up to me in this program, and low and behold, she was setting up her business plan and did nothing for the first two months until she was ready. Long story short, she took the business serious and quit her excecutive sales job and went to work on her new business. She personally earned me several thousand every month for more than a decade, so let this be a lesson to those who quit before they ever begin.
Sorry, but if you quit in one month, you will never see success in any business of your own. The first lesson you learn as an entrepreneur is to never quit. If you are not prepared to stay the course in your own home business venture, then save yourself the disappointment and the few bucks and don't bother starting. You cannot possibly think you will succeed in one month and doing nothing at all towards marketing is even worse.
Yes, you can technically earn a minimum if you do nothing, and with so many do nothings in the world of online home businesses, imagine if Push Button was the one system which would allow all the do nothings in the world to squeeze out $1980. per month in six months, maybe a year, but just imagine if all the do nothings finally saw success, if only they would stay the course and not quit. The quitters are what kills all programs and why most MLM's hit the wall in 18 months, attrition is the enemy in all programs, always has, but again, imagine if that issue was solved?
Success to all,

I'm a little bit weary of this, but since it looks like it's free I think I might as well give it a shot. If some people have made money doing nothing, then at least $27 is better than $0. I'll take anything wherever I can get it.
EDIT: Forgot there was a second page, stopped when I saw that they were charging $99 to join, and decided not to join. Good thing when I saw the first reply at the top of this page.

Update:
Having asked everyone I can what they are seeing, it is obvious that those on 13th level are going to see it take a lot longer than those who happened to come in on 10th level like I did. I saw a quick two cycles in first couple of weeks, then nothing for almost four weeks, but finally another cycle. Is this thrilling, not really, but then again, you have to understand nothing happens in most programs for many months other than your personal efforts.
Most people are looking for a free ride to riches, and this is the problem with the industry, everyone makes it sound like everything is get rich quick, get in now, etc. This one needs time to fill in that 14th level which requires over 16K, not that it won't happen, but not in the first month. Everyone cycles at different times based on one simple fact, where they begin, but the ones who don't begin will always lose, and no matter how many times I have seen these flash in the pan deals, how many really hang in there long enough to see results? Maybe 3%, so which will you be, the 3% who are winners, or the 97% who are the losers?
Success to all,

Here's my experience so far.
I joined February 1. Not cycled once and have been doing some promotion. My position doesn't seemed to have moved. It just says I need 25 more cycles before I would cycle. I contacted support and got a long drawn out response, which I couldn't understand.
For all the hype I'm starting to smell something...

Update,
As I see it, we have to see the 14th level fill in before anyone who entered matrix in Feb. will cycle. I just researched all my people and the 14th level is seeing some fill in as of this week, three have seen one under them, so with this progress, we should see more cycles. If you are on 12th or below, you are going to see slower progress, but once you are in 10th or above, it speeds up considerably.
Success to all,

tweston: I signed up with the program. And I got cycled just yesterday! That is great. $27 for doing nothing. So for those people who are asking If anyone has made any money with this: I have!
Thanks alot for sharing, I got introduced to something like this from other forums, and i did sign up under one user, but didnt pursue it further because i was working on other stuff. I guess i'll look into it some more.

Well, finally I see some action on the 14th level, so hopefully it will accelerate once this level is filled, so you have to be patient, and fortunately, I am. lol
Success to all, Mike

Yup. Things seem slow. But, only when you're witing on them.
The key point to all this is that there IS movement period. We would all like it to be faster. But, it's going to do whatever it's going to do.
Perhaps concentrating on personal sales would put more money in your pocket. That way you are only relying on what you can control and then the cycling becomes the icing on the cake.
Just a thought.

I was in PBX for 2 months Cycled twice,At that time we got paid
via PAYONEER which is a Big time ripoff. Iquit PBX
Here is a clue take a look at the leaders on top of PBX.
Then google their names.
Thats should be a clue on what to do next.
Why are these same names jumping from program to program?

Hey Earl, to a certain degree you are right. I don't know any of those folks personally. However, there are alot of sponsors in EVERY business out there that are total duds.
All they are interested in is the quick buck and the the next sale. What happens in that situatio is that they make their money, drop their downline on their heads and move on.
That's exactly why folks need to do their due diligence not only on the business, but their future sponsor as well.
Once you find a business that fits, make sure you find a sponsor that will be there after the check clears.

Good point,
But you missed the real point, when you have a huge list as Rachal does, why wouldn't you use it to promote a dozen programs, after all, not everyone is interested in the same business opportunities.
Having been around long enough to research thousands of online businesses, the one thing that you learn is that those with the biggest lists win. PBX is the perfect answer since it is allowing you to build your own list, otherwise you will never make it in any online home business.
The top producers are all on that list for a reason, they earned it through years of building their lists, just as all the online guru's have done. I don't care what their names are, if they are making money it is because they have a list.
PBX is going to work for only those poeple who stick it out and are patient and most are not. I have seen people quit after one month, and this blows my mind. Who in their right mind can possible hope to make money in first month and not do any promoting? For all those who quit, let this be a lesson to you, only losers quit, and this is why 97% plus fail in their attempts at an online business, they quit before the begin.
If you study the PBX plan, and understand the mechanics of a non static matrix, and it helps to watch the new presentation they just added, only then will you see you have to be patient. It may take two months to break even each month, and it may take six months to hit the minimum $1980. per month, but so what, I could care less if it takes a year, the product works, and is well worth the small cost per month.
Yes, I too have seen little progress as I am now on 10th level, but I made enough to pay for a whole year in first two months, so I can afford to be patient and let the matrix fill, and it will, it just is a little slower for some who fall in the lower levels of 12 or 13th. But if you understand this matrix, while it is slow to cycle now, it will speed up as you progress to top, and everyone is subject to the same growth rates, some faster to start, but they will occupy the exact same level you are in sooner or later, even the top dogs on list, so be patient, system is working, and better for those who work it. lol
Success to all,
