✍️ RPT1000 RUNNING ZEUS AI GETS & CHANGES REVIEWS - it’s 100% UNDETECTABLE

It’s getting scary what AI and technology can do.

A new device called the RPT-1000 (short for “Review Power Tool”) claims it can “sniff” certain IP addresses on the internet for order confirmation emails coming from all the top e-com sites.

The developers claim they have a 40% success rate on capturing order names and matching to real accounts using the sniffed emails and big data.

Check out the video:

The Pro version can run timed attacks on competitors to lock up inventory and can alter up to 28% of “bad” reviews going back up to six months (it can only change them - it can’t delete them).

If you have been selling for a while, you know many Chinese blackhat sellers used to have mobile phone banks (like in the picture below) that would do add to carts, wishlists and other nefarious activities to help sellers rank.

But this stand-alone machine, originally developed by bitcoin miners, is on another level. They figured out how to grab web data and mimic real human actions when interacting with e-com sites using AI.

The device is the size of an iPad (a little thicker) and doesn't connect to WI-FI for security reasons - you have to use an Ethernet port and cable. You can set a delay on the SKU level for the number of days to wait before it generates a review.

A sophisticated AI writes some 4, but mostly 5-star reviews using a special LLM called “ZeusEC.” It looks at your public listing, your previous “real” reviews and competitor reviews to train. No two reviews it writes are alike and they are undetectable by AI checkers.

The RPT1000 will not go over a 10% review rate and uses an algorithm to space postings. The device price is really low, but there is a small “per success” fee. Payment is by Bitcoin, ETH or WETH - no credit cards or fiat currency.

Reportedly, the Chinese government is trying to ban the export of the RPT1000, perhaps to protect local seller advantage. So the public release has been delayed to May while production ramps up in an undisclosed location (Russia maybe?).

In private beta testing, sellers are seeing a median 3.24X increase in sales after just one month from improved conversion and click through rates. ACOS has also gone down on average for the beta test group from 36% to 14%. Kinda surprised the e-com giants are blind to what’s happening.

Even though the RPT1000 leaves no trace and has an automatic self destruct mode if compromised (there is also a panic button on the back), I won’t be using this in my business.

But I hope none of my competitors do because I will be f*cked trying to compete.

💵 WALMART ACCEPTS MONOPOLY MONEY TODAY

“Wally World” as we call it in the South is reportedly is accepting monopoly money as payment during a one-day only promotion in stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama today.

Be careful though if using your paper money from old games that have been sitting in the attic. Some of the earlier Parker Brothers money (before Hasbro bought the game) is worth a lot more in the collectibles market.

The stores are allowing customers to redeem up to $25 in monopoly money using the self-checkout lanes. Coupon scanners have been programmed to accept official Monopoly currency from the popular board game.

The promotion is today only, and there is a limit of one redemption per person (PRO TIP: just split your shopping cart items among your family).

Note: If you believe this story, Happy April Fool’s Day!

🚚 SAVE MONEY SHIPPING to AMAZON

In light of all the added costs now to ship into multiple Amazon warehouses, new tools have popped up to help sellers potentially save money in replenishing inventory.

One such service is called Nemoship (not an affiliate link). A seller I know recently avoided the inventory placement fee and was able to consolidate goods into one warehouse, saving herself about $2,000.

For a $99 monthly fee, Nemoship ties into Seller Central and allows you to choose one FC from the available ones and create a shipment solely for that selected FC.

It uses tricks like letting you include or exclude “dummy products” from your shipments and use dummy ship-from addresses to increase the number of available FCs.
