The ad tells a familiar story. A cashier or delivery driver quits after finding a three-step system on their phone, then shares the video link while it lasts.
That link opens Income Team X, a program sold online since 2022. Before you pay $37, or while trying to get it back, here is what the pitch leaves out.
Overview
What Income Team X Claims
The current sales page opens with “IMMEDIATE PAYMENT – PENDING” in giant letters. It announces a new team connection, puts you third in line and shows a $417.22 daily deposit.
A countdown warns that your spot goes to the next person watching. Entry costs $37, described as a one-time payment with a 60-day money-back guarantee.
What You Actually Buy
Behind the hype is a basic affiliate marketing course. Its own product page lists four training modules, 10 prebuilt affiliate pages, a members area and a library of bonus ebooks.
You are not joining a payroll. Any money would come from commissions on other companies’ products, after an affiliate network approves you and you find your own traffic.
The bonus library is a set of general ebooks, with titles such as Serious Side-Hustle and Affiliate Marketing Mastery.
Is Income Team X Legit?
No. The course exists, but the way it is sold depends on claims that are false on their face:
- A payment is described as pending when nothing is owed to you.
- The sales video’s start screen imitates a Cloudflare security check that is really part of the video thumbnail.
- An exit pop-up claims a $97 regular price and a free $497 bonus pack.
- Buyers on one checkout route are offered one-click upgrades of $497 and $197 right after paying.
- The support page tells buyers not to contact their bank, claiming they would lose a dispute.
Income Team X Reviews and Complaints
Real customer feedback is thin and negative. The Trustpilot profile for incometeamx.com holds a 2.6 TrustScore from four reviews, and every one gives a single star.
Those reviews date from February to July 2026. Buyers call it a scam, say they paid for nothing and complain of no support and a product unlike the advertising.
Trustpilot also shows a notice that the company may be associated with high-risk investments. The Better Business Bureau has no business profile for Income Team X at all.
Many pages that turn up for Income Team X reviews in 2026 are something else. They are glowing write-ups posted on Google Sites, Experiment.com project drafts and FeedBear feedback boards.
Their buttons pass through redirect pages to the ClickBank sales page with an affiliate hop ID attached. Whoever wrote the review earns a commission if you buy.
The funnel’s own exit pop-up adds a five-star badge claiming 1,114 verified reviews and a Best of 2024 vote. The page names no source for either.
How the Income Team X Scam Works
Step 1: A Personal Success Story Appears in Your Feed
From December 2025 to February 2026, Meta ads from pages named Sarah Hooper, Francesca Smith, Jessica Harper and Anna Schneider sent viewers to the Income Team X invitation page.
The stories rotate. A Costco or Walmart cashier supervisor resigns, a DoorDash driver or trucker quits, or a stranger on a plane made $260,000 last year.
One version claims $1,770 in the first week and more than $2,460 in the second. None of these ads explains what the system actually does.
Meta removed some of these ads for breaking its advertising standards. Others ran from accounts or pages that Meta later disabled, according to its Ad Library.
Step 2: The Page Says Your Payment Is Already Waiting
The invitation page treats you like someone collecting money, not buying a course. An Instagram-styled version shows a $437.32 daily deposit and 1,700 live viewers.
Nothing is owed to you. The deposit figure is a graphic on a sales page, and the only payment involved is the $37 you are being asked to make.
Even the video’s start screen is staged. It shows a Cloudflare human-verification box with a reCAPTCHA checkbox.
The whole box is the video’s thumbnail image, so clicking the checkbox simply starts the sales pitch.
Step 3: Timers, Fake Comments and a Fake Discount Push the $37
A security timer, about 30 minutes on one page and 42 on another, warns that your spot will be forfeited to the next viewer. Reloading starts the countdown over.
The Instagram-styled page adds comments from Tanya Brooks, Marcus Ellison and Crystal Vaughn. They are written into the page code with fixed timestamps of seconds ago.
A small pop-up announces that Robert from United States just activated their Income Team X earnings. Try to leave, and an exit offer appears instead.
It shows the same $37 price beside a struck-through $97 regular price, plus a $497 bonus pack of side-hustle ebooks thrown in for free.
None of the sales pages asks for $97. The discount exists only to make $37 feel like a bargain you will lose by closing the tab.
Step 4: One-Click Upsells Follow the Purchase
On the BuyGoods route, the page after payment is the Platinum Fast Track upgrade. It charges $497 in one click and promises up to 1,000 buyer clicks.
It claims only 7 of 25 upgrades remain as of today, a date the script reads from your device. A sister product, 3 Step Payday, repeats the same line.
A second upgrade, Elite Member, costs $197 and is labeled optional upgrade 2 of 3. Taking both brings the bill to $731, with a third upgrade still to come.
Both upgrades are billed as one-time charges. The risk is speed: a single click charges the card you just used, with no new checkout form.
Step 5: The Course Teaches You to Run the Same Kind of Funnel
According to its product page, the training covers prebuilt affiliate pages, getting approved to promote offers and exit traffic, which redirects visitors who leave your page to commission links.
An earlier support page said member earnings were paid through ClickBank and gave tips for getting a ClickBank affiliate account approved. The system is affiliate marketing of other offers.
That is a real business, but it takes paid traffic, testing and months of work. It cannot produce a deposit waiting for you on the day you join.
What the FTC Rules Say About Pitches Like Income Team X
No FTC case or notice names Income Team X. The agency’s rules and guidance still show what an honest money-making offer owes you before you pay.
The Business Opportunity Rule covers sellers who promise outlets, accounts or customers, including online ones. They must provide a one-page disclosure document at least seven days before payment.
Income Team X’s upgrade promises up to 1,000 buyer clicks. Its checkout takes payment on the spot, and no disclosure document appears anywhere in the funnel.
In January 2025, the FTC proposed extending that rule to money-making opportunities such as business coaching, with written proof required for earnings claims. No final rule has been published.
The FTC’s consumer advice is simpler. Ask for the disclosure document and any earnings claim statement, and walk away if the pitch contradicts the seller’s own paperwork.
Income Team X contradicts itself. The sales page shows a $417.22 daily deposit, while its earnings disclaimer says there is no guarantee you will make any income.
Seller, Retailers and Refund Route
The Seller Gives a Name but No Address
The main terms clause leaves the company name blank, calling the website the property of an empty placeholder. Disputes go to arbitration in a place written as Company, California.
Exceleron Marketing is named in the refund, anti-spam and FTC compliance policies, and the ClickBank vendor account is exceleron1. None of those pages gives an address or registration number.
Three Retailers Take the Same $37
The same product sells through ClickBank on cb.myincometeamx.com, BuyGoods on bg.myincometeamx.com and Explodely on the main www address of that domain.
Each page prints the retailer’s address: Boise, Idaho for ClickBank, Wilmington, Delaware for BuyGoods and Orlando, Florida for Explodely. Those belong to the retailers, not to the seller.
The BuyGoods footer even carries the platform’s supplement disclaimer about the Food and Drug Administration, which has nothing to do with an income course.
Support Discourages You From Calling Your Bank
The support portal says customer service works weekdays from 8am to 8pm Eastern, through a ticket desk. Refund requests are sent to the retailer instead.
Its refund instructions tell buyers not to contact their bank, warning that a dispute would only delay the refund and that they would lose it.
That outcome is not the seller’s call. Your card issuer decides disputes, and you can ask the retailer for a refund and still dispute the charge with your bank.
The Members Area Uses One Password for Everyone
The old incometeamx.com address now opens only a members login for Income Team X 2.0. Buyers sign in with their purchase email and a default password printed right there.
Anyone who knows a buyer’s email can try that same password, so anything you save in the members area could be seen by a stranger.
Income Team X Domains, Name Changes and Sister Funnels
The original incometeamx.com domain was registered in July 2022, and myincometeamx.com followed in July 2025. The newer domain now carries every live sales funnel.
The numbers have shifted. A 2024 page promised commissions of $989 to $1,797 a day, and a 2025 page introduced the $417.22 daily deposit that still runs.
Paid social traffic is not new either. An archived July 2025 invitation link carries Facebook ad tracking tags, months before the ads now visible in Meta’s library.
The 2024 page also features Brad Wilksford, a single dad who says he built a 50-person team and needs only 45 more partners before stepping back.
The Instagram-styled page also carries a BuyGoods checkout link into 3 Step Payday, a separate product whose upgrade page copies Income Team X almost word for word.
That page is signed by a different presenter, Cole Marner. Shared sales copy shows a shared template, not who owns either product.
The Brad Wilksford name also appears in our report on the 7 Minute WiFi Blueprint phone trick.
Similar phone-trick funnels we have covered include the 3-Step Wi-Fi Trick, Cash Loophole and the Digital ATM System.
What to Do If You Paid for Income Team X
The 60-day refund window is your best tool, so act quickly and keep every email and receipt:
- Save the evidence. Screenshot the payment-pending page, the timer and every receipt, because the funnels move between domains and pages change.
- Find the retailer on your statement. A ClickBank purchase appears as CLKBANK*IncomeTeamX. BuyGoods and Explodely orders name those companies in your receipt email.
- Request a refund from that retailer. Use ClickBank’s support site, BuyGoods at support@buygoods.com or Explodely’s help desk. List every charge, including each upgrade.
- Dispute the charge if the refund stalls. Ignore the support page’s warning. Give your card issuer the order emails, the sales page claims and your refund request.
- Look for one-click charges. Check for $497 and $197 upgrade charges you did not mean to approve, and treat later fire sale emails with the same caution.
- Treat the members area as public. Because the login relies on one shared password, keep personal and payment details out of it.
- Expect new invitations. The funnel already cross-sells 3 Step Payday. Treat any daily-deposit pitch under a new name the same way.
- Report the ads and the seller. Use the menu on a Facebook or Instagram ad to report it, and file a report with the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
- Ignore recovery offers. Anyone promising to recover your money or unlock your daily deposits for a fee is running a second scam.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Income Team X a scam?
As it is sold, yes. The deception sits in the marketing rather than in whether a course arrives, which is why a refund request is your strongest move.
Are the Income Team X reviews online real?
Treat any review with an official site button as an advertisement, because it pays its writer a commission. Reviews from actual buyers are scarce and uniformly negative.
Is Income Team X the same as Income Team?
If you saw Income Team on a daily-deposit page, yes. The logo spells INCOMETEAM with a large X through it, and the pages also shorten the name to ITX.
Who is Brad Wilksford?
He is the presenter named on the older sales page and the $497 upgrade. Nothing on those pages ties the name to a real company, address or public profile.
Does Income Team X charge every month?
No subscription appears in the checkout. Each charge is labeled one-time with no rebilling. The money adds up through instant upgrades, not monthly renewals.
Why does incometeamx.com only show a login page?
The sales funnels moved to myincometeamx.com. Old sales and policy links on the original domain now point to the members area meant for paying buyers.
The Bottom Line
Do not buy Income Team X. The $37 buys a basic affiliate course sold with a fake pending payment, a staged live audience and at least $694 in upgrades.
If you already paid, ask the retailer on your statement for a refund of every charge within 60 days, and take it to your card issuer if the refund stalls.
Real side income starts with a named company and terms that explain how you get paid. Until money reaches your bank, a number on a sales page is not income.
