Crypto-only checkout
Every order “gets a unique amount” and the licence “activates automatically once the network confirms the payment”. There is no card option and no refund route a bank could enforce. One product note recommends “$1,000+ (min $500, very high risk)”. Licences run on two live accounts, so the robot trades real money at a broker the seller does not name.
The referral layer
Buyers earn 10% of everything the people they refer spend, renewals included, for ever. A product that pays its customers to recruit customers grows through recruitment, not results.
If you bought a licence, keep the transaction hash and wallet address you paid to, and review what the EA did on your broker account.
