On December 2005, I was a college student with part job looking for some opportunity to open my business.
At that time, I had about $10,000 from hard earned savings account which I saved for about 4 years of my college life doing various jobs.

The first time when I heard Red Bull vending machine opportunity from Jefferey (Creative Concepts), I was convinced that the machines will make about 25 cans / day at College Campus, Gyms, and Shopping Malls. He even said the locators will find me best locations in my area in just 2 weeks.

I even had couple phone numbers as a reference from Jefferey and those people got to be planted by Creative Concepts.

The Red Bull was becoming very popular in College Campus so I thought it will be a good opportunity to make some extra cash to pay for the school.

So I decided to use all of $10,000 and about remaining $14,000 from my credit card to start my first business. Total investment was $24,000 with the locating service.

After about 2month, my machines did arrive but I wasn't able to get hold of locator. So I decided to find the locations on my own. First, i contacted all of schools, gyms and malls per Jeffereys location recommendation.

Soon, I found out all of good locations were already contracted by Coke, and Pepsi. Therefore, I ended up placing my machines at small motels and snack shops and the sales were bad. about less than 20 cans / month which comes to be less than can/ day sale.

Not long later, I started to same red bull machines in my area at car dealerships and service centers. So I try to contact Red Bull/Creative Concepts to find out what happened to my Area Distrution Rights.

On my contract, it stated these machines had placement area protection which only allowed my machines to be placed in my city.

To make the long story short, 1 machine were stolen later, 1 machine were vandalized and 3 were sold at $800 each.

Basically, I lost about $20,000 in a year because of this rip off scene.

Eversince this happened to me, I am having 2 jobs night and day and trying to pay off my debt on credit card. My life has been miserable and I am starting to see the doctor for the depression.

This Scam from Red bull and creative concepts must be aired by TV and let people know how much Red Bull are hurting innocent people like me.
