The SCAM starts with an add in the local paper for a coffee route for sale.  The number listed is a Miami 866 number which belongs to South Beach Coffee. 

After several conversations with Michael Hutton, he pushes you to look at the option of a new route in your area vs. purchasing an existing route.  They claim to have distributors in over 34 states averaging selling 4-5 bags of thier coffee per day. 

To help sell the new route, he gave several references which included a "distributor" in NY, TX and DC.  All have a very good story to support the SCAM and with great detail they all have a success story.

Once you have the product, they push you to engage a "locator" company to establish the route.  For a separete fee per location, A-1 Locators AKA Stan Lewis sends out a local rep to help locate your new sites.  Half of the ones they found were in areas which required a police escort or stores which ened up NEVER able to sell one bag of coffee. 

After having several conversation with Michael and a dedicated customer rep named Elizabeth Anderson about why sales were so slow, a call to South Beach Coffee rolled to the answering service.  After early Oct , no more e-mails were answered and calls to the "distributors" revealed bad numbers.  

In addition, calls to Stan Lewis with A-1 Locators were not returned.   For over two months I spoke with 10 different individuals all taking part of this SCAM.  Michael Hutton, Elizabeth Anderson and Stan Lewis need to be sent prision for LIFE.

South Beach and Stan The Man

You should file a similar complaint about Stan Lewis with A1 Locators separately. Just search for him on this site. He already has a journal of complaints about how he conducts himself, and his business. I too had a similar experience with South Beach and then with good ol' Stanley.
