For many months, online marketers have promoted what they claim are their own legit reviews for a product named Mini Mobile ATM app — also known as the “7-minute phone trick.” In my article, I offer a genuine review. My review differs from many others because those reviews often use clickbait headlines to grab your attention, then push a link to persuade you to buy the Mini Mobile ATM app, claiming it’s legit, or another money-making product that will only waste your time. In my review, I will not try to sell you anything. I simply present the facts in this article, nothing more and nothing less.
Unknown people created the promise of the Mini Mobile ATM app, one of many online scams that promise riches beyond your wildest imagination, and that possibly doesn’t exist as an “app” at all. They launched this scam ahead of the 2024 holiday shopping season, while they were also pushing ridiculous products like “electricity saving boxes,” cheap drones, and strange TV streaming devices to consumers. Among these scams, “get rich quick” schemes dominate the world of online fraud. In this review, I provide my fully researched analysis of the Mini Mobile ATM app course — a purportedly legit “7-minute phone trick” money-making product that clearly shows all the signs of being a scam, not a genuine opportunity. Some users have searched Google for reviews about the Mini Mobile ATM app on Consumer Reports, Reddit and other websites to find more information.
The product name Mini Mobile ATM app included “ATM,” implying that purchasing the “7-minute phone trick” would let consumers easily and legitimately withdraw money. In my YouTube video about the not-legit product, I explained that at least hundreds of online video advertisements for these programs have appeared in recent months as sponsored posts on Facebook and Instagram. These ads showed people telling fake and sometimes conflicting stories to trick users into clicking a link and visiting minimobileatm.com.
If you’ve struggled to find legit Mini Mobile ATM app reviews or the “7-minute phone trick” on Google, you’re not alone. Scammers are likely flooding Google’s search results with fake positive reviews. In my article, I provide the most honest and thorough review available online. To help fight the scammy articles and videos promoting this product, I encourage you to share my article on Facebook and other social media platforms. Record videos, feature my article in your clips and post those videos to Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. Let’s work together to spread the word and raise awareness about the fake and not-legit Mini Mobile ATM app reviews.

What Is Mini Mobile ATM App?
The Mini Mobile ATM app is the name of a supposedly legit money-making course or program that claims in Facebook and Instagram video ads to offer a “7-minute phone trick.” Based on my research, the actual product seems to be a digital download that may teach users, through a “one-page guide,” how to build an online business selling digital products like e-books and courses or how to use social media to earn revenue. As one Reddit user pointed out, similar guides already exist for free on YouTube.
In online ads, people promise that the Mini Mobile ATM app offers an easy way to make tons of extra money, regardless of the disclaimers or other statements featured on websites like minimobileatm.com. These promises might remind readers of investment scams.
Back in 2024, the Mini Mobile ATM app’s website displayed a pop-up over a lengthy video. Back when the scam existed as the “2-minute phone trick,” it claimed, “I reveal the 2-minute trick that makes me hundreds of $$$ every day (it’s easy!). I burned out working a 9-5 job, living paycheck to paycheck. But this system allowed me to fire my boss and make all the money I need from home. It takes just 2 minutes to set up, then the cash keeps rolling in. You can do this, too…from anywhere!”
Within the first few moments of the lengthy video — a video that lies to users by claiming it legit will last just under three minutes — an AI-generated narrator voice explains how the product works. According to the video’s opening, people only need to open the course on their phone, do something simple and then they’re done to make thousands of dollars per week with Mini Mobile ATM app.
Seconds later, the video states that you must complete some work to set up the program. Then, it promises that once you finish the setup, you will earn money on “autopilot.” In some versions of the scam, the AI-voiced narrator claims the company has already completed “90 percent of the work.”
In March 2024, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published a news release about a similar-sounding scam that promised users could “generate passive income on autopilot.” The FTC stated, “The truth was that few consumers ever made money from these schemes.”
According to the FTC’s November 2022 complaint, the company and its owners promised consumers that they could “generate passive income on autopilot” when the truth was that few consumers ever made money from these schemes. They sold their programs under a number of different names, including AMZDFY, Amazon Done For You, and Amazon Done With You. They also pitched supposed cryptocurrency investment services that included their “#1 secret passive income crypto trading bot,” which they claimed could “generate profits for you even while you sleep.” Their marketing and sales pitches were filled with fake consumer reviews touting huge profits.
The company and its owners agreed to a settlement that required them to turn over the funds to be used to refund consumers harmed by their deception, as well as requiring them to stop their deceptive earnings pitches.
Always remember that if an online offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Mini Mobile ATM App Facebook and Instagram Ads
While researching the Mini Mobile ATM app, I reviewed at least hundreds of different Facebook and Instagram ads promoting similar money-making schemes. All of them appeared to promote various “phone trick” scams, including fake “7 minute phone trick” reviews.
Some marketers promoting fake Mini Mobile ATM app reviews included in their ads a fake TV news headline reading, “New Phone Trick Is Making Millions. Thousands of Americans Have Retired Early.” Other past ads sometimes showed a fake Forbes article with the headline, “Calling It Quits: New 2-Minute Trick Allows Thousands to Retire Early.”
Some people appeared in video ads on Facebook and Instagram, often claiming to know individuals who earned thousands or even millions of dollars with the “7-minute phone trick” course. It’s unclear whether these people were involved with the product itself, worked as affiliate marketers or simply acted as paid spokespeople telling fake stories. Some of them clearly lived in regular apartments with rather dark and ugly kitchens visible in the background. In other words, if the Mini Mobile ATM app had legit made them tons of money, why would they still live in modest apartments?
Additionally, let’s not forget that these ads used some of the same tropes found in other online scams and pyramid schemes, whose participants often claim their “businesses” aren’t pyramid schemes. For example, the ads featured phrases like “quit your 9-5” and “retire early.” The video on minimobileatm.com also displayed flashy cars, beautiful people, travel destinations, expensive homes and other misleading promises.
Think about it. The idea suggests that you’ll become a multi-millionaire by spending only $47 and following a set of instructions. Marketers promote what they claim is a groundbreaking money-making strategy in Facebook ads. This isn’t how life works. This doesn’t reflect anything genuine in the real world.
Meta Accepts Money for Scam Ads
Let me take a quick pause from my genuine Mini Mobile ATM app review — again, the only legit one you might find on the internet — to share another fact I don’t want to leave out. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has accepted money for thousands of scam ads. Meta asks users to tap the “report” button if they see ads violating their policies, as if users work for the company.
As The Associated Press and others have repeatedly reported, Meta regularly tells investors about quarterly revenue numbers in the tens of billions. Even so, the company has not chosen to invest in hiring enough credible moderators to manually review all Facebook and Instagram ads before they appear on users’ devices. Instead, the company manually reviews only some of the ads, while the majority go through a seemingly (and conveniently) broken automated review process.
In 2023, Fox News reported on the prevalence of scams in Facebook sponsored posts. They wrote of scammers, “The way they do this is by buying accounts that have already gone through the verification process, such as business manager accounts that are allowed to post lots of ads. Once hackers take over these accounts, they can charge thousands of dollars in ad spending to credit cards associated with the compromised accounts and post whatever ads they want. So, it’s really a flaw within Facebook’s verification process that allows these ads to come to life.”
The Mini Mobile ATM App Machine Reviews Video
Next in my Mini Mobile ATM app review, I want to talk about the not-legit video on minimobileatm.com that featured an AI-voiced narrator. That fake narrator began, “Confession time. I’ve got a dirty little secret. One that makes me feel guilty and ashamed. One that would make my mom turn in her grave. You see, I did something bad and I’m still haunted by it. Something so taboo, it makes me squirm just thinking about it. You’ll be shocked when you hear what it is, but I had my reasons. But here’s the twist: This dirty, nasty secret makes me more money than I’d ever dreamed of. See for yourself.”
“On Monday, I made $682.82. And the day before was pretty good at $642.70. Saturday topped that with $873.14. And Friday? The best day of the week at $1,089.80! And as you can see, every day is like that. Many hundreds of dollars flooding in and swelling my bank balance.”
“Now, I understand if you’re skeptical. But as you’ll soon see, this is not some fake screenshot. I’m about to log into my account live so you can check the numbers for yourself. And I’ll refresh the page so you know I’m not faking it. I make this kind of money day in, day out, all without doing dropshipping, creating ecommerce stores or running ads. How? I just use a 7-minute trick! One that turns my phone into a Mini Mobile ATM.”
The video basically promises that you’ll become rich, quit your day job and relax on a beach sipping drinks. It also uses the same tropes as other scams, such as falsely claiming that someone with similar interests keeps trying to remove the product from the internet. Another scam trope reassures users of a strong level of security and encryption. Too much reassurance raises a red flag.
After the video ends, the website directs users to a checkout page that asks for a $47 payment. That checkout page displays a “BBB Accredited Business” button. However, the Mini Mobile ATM app — the “7-minute phone trick” scammers claim exists as a legit money-making opportunity — does not hold accreditation from the U.S. Better Business Bureau (BBB). Instead, the accreditation logo belongs to the payment processing company ClickBank. The ClickBank page on the BBB website shows an average review score of 1.47 out of 5 and lists more than 200 complaints.
I found no information about the people who created the Mini Mobile ATM app. If the “7-minute phone trick” truly existed as a legit offer, why wouldn’t its founder or founders make themselves known? If the product worked and the creators felt proud of it, where are they? Wouldn’t they beam with joy in online videos?
If you’re examining a potential scam and can’t find any information about the people who designed the product, ask yourself why. You’ll gain more clarity about the matter.
Genuine Mini Mobile ATM App Reviews
I did not purchase the not-legit Mini Mobile ATM app for myself. I don’t typically hand my credit card information over to people running potential scams. A YouTube user under one of my videos providing a review of the information about a product similar to the Mini Mobile ATM app said, “I paid $154.22 for this program and have never heard from the company. Scam.” Remember, these products are no different from Mini Mobile ATM. Scammers simply rebranded the same scheme under the new name Mini Mobile ATM to market it more effectively.
A different user posting on Reddit had this to say about a similar product: “My credit card company flagged it as a scam, so I came here. I decided not to complete the purchase for now. Too many unanswered questions.”
I made the right choice by not attempting to buy the product myself. I hope readers understand this. Occasionally, I receive negative comments from people upset that I didn’t hand over my financial information to potential scammers. My goal is to help consumers by compiling information and dominating search results to save them money.
In the same Reddit thread, another user added, “I bought it knowing I could get a refund… which I’ve already requested. It’s another affiliate marketing gig.”
The Outbrain advertising platform’s blog defines affiliate marketing as “when you earn a commission for the online promotion of another company’s product or service.” The article also adds, “Essentially, affiliates perform online marketing on behalf of a merchant, to drive traffic and conversions for the merchant’s website. For every click or conversion earned, the affiliate is paid by the merchant.”
Meanwhile, back in the Reddit thread, at least one user seemed to genuinely offer this advice: “It’s not a scam but also not worth buying. It pretty much tells you to make an Instagram account, and repost certain things on it. It’s definitely a long-term kind of thing, but not something I would get into, especially if I’m not guaranteed money.”
In other words, these online users who bought into the not-legit Mini Mobile ATM app reviews did not witness the same exciting opportunities presented in the Facebook and Instagram ads or in the video on minimobileatm.com. Offers that seem too good to be true — pyramid schemes included — often make big promises like flashy cars, vacations and millions of dollars, only to end up costing users an enormous amount of time for little, if any, monetary gain.
Sound Publishing’s Scammy Sponsored Content Articles
Aside from the Facebook and Instagram ads, other ads promoting products similar to the Mini Mobile ATM app appeared in sponsored content articles. These ads also promoted promises like the “7-minute phone trick.”
Have you ever heard of a company named Sound Publishing? Whether you have or not, you’ve likely seen their articles in Google search results.
Sound Publishing promotes not-legit reviews of products similar to the Mini Mobile ATM app course. The publishing company owns news media outlets in Alaska and Washington. Some of their efforts include publishing apparent paid-for articles for scammy products. People commonly refer to such stories as sponsored content.
For example, the following Sound Publishing websites hosted sponsored content articles promoting fake positive reviews for products similar to Mini Mobile ATM: BainbridgeReview.com, CovingtonReporter.com, CourierHerald.com, BellevueReporter.com, VashonBeachcomber and two additional stories also hosted on CovingtonReporter.com and VashonBeachcomber.com. The authors of the misleading stories hope to fool users into believing the websites host genuine reviews. Also, they all read like someone fully generated their text with AI. Further, other than the very bottom of the lengthy articles, the only indication of the articles existing as paid-for sponsored content displays as a small “sponsored” label at the top of the stories. Some users will undoubtedly not see that label.
The benefits of scammers turning to a company like Sound Publishing to promote their schemes are threefold. The publishing company’s media outlets provide an overall trustworthy appearance, prominent placement in Google search results and what you could consider the “holy grail” for scammers: trustworthy-looking placement in Google News. Some users looking for genuine reviews might see Sound Publishing’s sponsored content articles in Google News and assume credible journalists authored those stories. How many consumers fell victims to scams because of these scammy sponsored content articles?
In addition to not-legit reviews of products like the Mini Mobile ATM app course, Sound Publishing’s websites also promoted other scams. For example, they published sponsored content articles containing scams about keto gummies for weight loss, CBD gummies and even a purported “Genius Wave” scheme claiming that listening to specific sounds could magically unlock a person’s “superbrain,” purportedly leading them to “financial freedom” — in other words, the exact opposite of sound publishing.
Promises of Low-Cost Courses Changing Lives
Marketers have for several years promoted products similar to the Mini Mobile ATM app, all with the promises of existing as legit, claiming that downloading a special program or course — whether in the form of a video, PDF or other deliverable — could dramatically change individuals’ lives or increase sales with online businesses. These marketers present their purported solutions in the form of short video ads on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other platforms. Their short videos lead to landing pages hosting longer videos. The longer videos might then lead to either a digital download or a 1-on-1 meeting. The strategy of marketers offering a meeting usually indicates an incoming pitch to pay a lot of money for “executive coaching” or other products.
While it’s true some of the people offering these products might have an impressive background in online marketing, their promises of “secret methods” or coaching to help random online users achieve “financial freedom” usually smell strongly of scams.
On the same subject, the FTC reported in August 2022, “How can you tell if a business offer or coaching program is a scam? If it promises guaranteed income, large returns, or a ‘proven system,’ it’s likely a scam. Even a free or low-cost ‘system’ to get your business started can quickly turn into a money pit — costing you tens of thousands of dollars for mentoring or other services that promise to increase your business’s success but leave you deep in debt instead.”
After all, if an online marketer holds the key to achieving an abundance of wealth, why would they be spending time attempting to share their money-making strategies with other people who might later compete in the same space? Wouldn’t they be traveling the world on luxurious vacations? These product pitches usually make no logical sense.
Again, if an online offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Scam Victims: Call Your Credit Card Company
If any readers fell victim to a not-legit opportunity like the Mini Mobile ATM app scam, please immediately call your credit card company. Notify them of the misleading and scammy title of the scam (ex. Mini Mobile ATM app or “7-minute phone trick”).
Readers scammed by any fraudulent schemes can file a complaint with the BBB and follow sound advice from the FTC and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Also, don’t fall for scams known as refund and account recovery scams. These scams involve deceptive users claiming they are experts with a special toolset to help victims recover lost money or get access back to a lost online account. Basically, they’ll come in after you’ve already been scammed and will try to scam you a second time. They’re only after your money and have no special technical skills.
