Back in October 2005, I saw the add on a Franchise/Biz-op website, and thought, WOW! Red Bull is offering vending machines! Having been in the vending business already, I jumped at the opportunity. I called Creative Concepts of America and was relayed to a salesperson named Jeff Youngbauer. Jeff was excited, but not overly so, and began to tell me that they had just shipped a brand new "business in a box" so to speak to someone and in the first week, this person had seen they're Red Bull Vending machine do 20 sales a day average in a bowling alley, and that he had heard that other sale's people's successes were in the 30 range. It was supposed to be "Proven". There were exclusive areas, and if I bought more, I'd be able to "Lock up" two counties and I would be put in "Direct Contact" with the local Red Bull distributer, who would give me an insider price on more product, especially since the 5400 cans I was buying wouldn't last me long! In addition, they had high-traffic locations waiting. He insinuated, without saying it directly, but he led me to believe that those locations would be selected or had been selected by the local whole-sale distributor who was an agent of Red Bull, N.A.

Another Red Bull Owner is at it Again

I am looking for anybody who has spoken with Charles Provenzano who was a sales rep for Creative Concepts. He is a criminal and has worked for other companies that have taken millions from innocent victims. Just to name a few of the companies, Global Resources (shut down by the feds), Pantheon (shut down by feds), and Americard Dispensing (also shut down by the feds). He is at it again, continuing to scam people with other so called opportunities. If you or anybody has some information that may help put him away for good please email me at garbagecharles@hotmail.com.

Very sorry to hear about all the people that got taken advantage of with the business. It gives me some satisfaction to know that they have at least sent some of the ring leaders to prison. I have had some dealings with a man by the name of Charles Provenzano. He used to work as a salesman for this company but also previously worked for Global Resources (another phone room that ripped people off for millions of dollars), Pantheon (owned by Shevin Goodman who went to prison), and Americard Dispensing which was also shut down. He has professed to making millions of dollars in commissions from his ill gotten gains. I would like to hear from anybody who has been taken by this guy. Maybe we could stop him from doing this to other people. If so please email me at garbagecharles@hotmail.com

I guess we have to wait until January 2011 to see what happens to everyone. My report is #341939. It's sad that I had my business counsel contact RBNA to discuss the venture and they gave the green light that Creative Concepts was good to go. However Red Bull quickly distanced themselves from everything and left all of us with huge losses.
There is no way we will ever see our money back unless as a group we go after RBNA since Creative Concepts was acting as an agent. We've been fighting this battle for over 4 years and barely getting any movement. Most have just written-off that they were ripped off and there is nothing that can be done.
