Energy Beverage Vending - Same Criminals up to the same Scam - Stacker 2 Shot Vending Machines –

I received an email yesterday from the same con artists that ripped me off for 35 Buzz Bites machines. I got the same email last month with them selling Mad Dog Energy Shot Vending Machines. BEWARE to anyone even thinking about buying from these guys, they have opened and closed 3 companies in the last 8 months. First it was Buzz Bites they shoved down our throats, then they switched to Mad Dog Energy Chews and tried to shove those down our throats. After that came the Mad Dog Vending Shot Machines and now they are onto trying to rip people off using Stacker 2 Xtra Extreme vending machines. This seems to be there MO....changing names every few months to avoid detection. DO NOT BUY INTO THIS CRAP, this company will shut it's doors in a few months time and you will be left holding the bag. If you're thinking about buying some energy products go to the source and work with Vroom Foods, they are the only reputable company in this ring of con artists. The owners behind this company, Mad Dog Energy Products are being sued for a RICO charge and are being investigated by the FTC, US Postal Inspector, and numerous Attorney Generals. There is an entire group of us who were ripped off by this company that are working with authorities to bring them to justice. Only a matter of time before this whole ring of criminals is behind bars. Anything and everything these guys tell you is a LIE. I was told I would have exclusive territory rights and they were going to be doing a super bowl commercial and tons of advertisng etc. etc., and in the end they shut down their company, switched their phone numbers and came out with a new product not following through with any of their promises. These snake oil sales people will tell you anything and everything you want to hear to get you to fork over your hard earned money.

See for yourself. Here is the RICO case: http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-ordce/case_no-3:2008cv01149/case_id-90195/

I am not the only one who feels this way or received this email. There are a bunch of us who have fell for this con. We chat here so please join us.

(((ROR REDACTED)))

Others will join me posting here to expose this operation before they can rip off anyone else of their hard earned money.

#1 Owner of Company

WE ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH MAD DOG ENERGY PRODUCTS

AUTHOR: Trey - Centennial (U.S.A.)

To all who see this post,

Our company, Energy Beverage Vending was just launched in June and the owner of our Compnay is Daniel Guzman who aquired the same machine from the manufacturer who made the Mad Dog Energy shot machine. Mad Dog owed money to the manufacturer and lost thier contract for this type machine and we took over the rights to use it to represent the Stacker 2 name (one of high credibility for over 15 years). Daniel Guzman, is NOT affiliated with the company that you are speaking of, Mad Dog Energy products in any way shape or form which can be verified by contacting our company and we will give you any proof you need. It is just the same type of machine. Our owner is FURIOUS that our name has now been slandered by someone thinking we are another company just because we have the same type of machine!

DO RESEARCH BEFORE YOU POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats like saying once car dealer took your money and saying something bad about another dealer that carries the same car!!!!

If we find out who you are we fully intend to file a lawsuit against you for slandering our good name! If this is called into ripoffreport.com and taken down we are willing to let this go!

We are researching into who posted this as we speak!

I guess you might be wrong

AUTHOR: Arturo Ortiz/adolfo Campos - C0R0ZAL (Puerto Rico)

We are former customers of Mad Dog Energy products who were taken advantage of by that company. We have been speaking to Energy Beverage Vending after our miserable ordeal with Mad Dog and both my partner and I will promise you that the 2 companies are not the same. Energy Beverage Vending has gone out of its way to help us get our machines that we paid for up front for from Mad Dog (who sent us a pay on delivery bill to get more money) of which we did not have any money to get our machines from their dishonesty (Shipping to Puerto Rico is expensive). Energy Beverage Vending helped us get our machines from the delivery company who were holding them till we paid. They have agreed to take us on as customers as we live in Puerto Rico . We highly recommend them as they have earned our business as we are not dealing with Mad Dog Energy products any longer. I do feel sorry for Energy Beverage Vending that someone has confused the 2 companies and made the mistake of posting a bad comment.

Names and Lists are bought and sold daily

AUTHOR: Trey - Centennial (U.S.A.)

Pam......names of customers are sold or aquired daily to other biz opp companies...why don't you instead of slandering our name give us a call....we would be more than happy to furnish any proof you need to who we are. We are sorry that you had a problem with Mad Dog Energy products...

Our number is (888) 851-6146 Please feel free to call us anytime...we will have you contact Stacker 2, State of Colorado, The manufacturer of the machines....

Disgruntled is one thing but be careful as you are now doing whats known legally as Tortious interference of business (look it up) against a company that has NOTHING to do with or any connection to Mad Dog Energy products...

We had a previous customer on here of mad dogs that you are also welcome to email who will verify that there is zero affiliation......

You need to do your homework because all you are doing now is creating a VERY serious legal problem against yourself....

You may be confused about your info. Always do your homework first !

AUTHOR: David Ferris - Sunset Beach (U.S.A.)

I was contacted by Energy Beverage Vending and asked if I would post something to confirm who they are. I flew out to meet them 2 weeks ago from Californa to go over the Stacker 2 vending deal. I met with Daniel Guzman and he was nothing but a person of high caliber. I was prepared to write a check that day for a 20 machine package but was advised that they could not take the money due to I live in California and they haven't registered in my state yet……to say the least I was very surprised by their honesty (I even mentioned I wouldn't say anything but they still said no). I have also looked into the Mad Dog Energy products deal but was steered away by to many people who are unhappy by their unethical behavior. I think I would rather wait till their registration is completed and go with a more credible company, EBV.

I would be very upset too if someone posted wrong information about my company. I'd say due diligence wasn't used before an irate post regarding another company.

Jolene is Right

AUTHOR: Energyvending - Denver (U.S.A.)

When Jolene says it is a different owner she is right. DIFFERENT OWNER BUT THE SAME SALESPEOPLE. Trey Friedmann was the manager that sold those other products. Now he wants to make all the money on his own so he is selling the same vending machine under a different name. That is how he has all the customer names because he managed the companies that sold buzz bites and mad dog.

Mad Dog never had a contract that was canceled for the energy shot vending machine. They stopped selling it because there wasnt enough sales. The vending machine looks great from the outside but the inside is very cheaply made, it doesnt even have a money stacker. When money goes into the machine it just falls into it. Imagine if the vending machine did make money, you would spend all day collecting it because it would be all over the inside of the machine.

Mad Dog Doing A Smear Campaign Against Us

AUTHOR: Trey - Centennial (U.S.A.)

To whoever reads this Gary Luckner and Richard Black from Mad Dog Energy Products we found out are the ones posting nasty things about our company. They are trying to do a smear campaign against us because we have a company that is run very credibly and they are upset that they have a lawsuit against them (RICO Suit) for fraud. Yes, Trey Friedmann use to work for Mad Dog but left due to unethical behavior from the owners of Mad Dog Energy products whose products we represented to go to work for a company and it's owner Daniel Guzman with high integrity. If you have amy questions please call our office and we will be happy to provide any proof or customers who you can ask how their transaction with us has been. These machines work fine and it is sad that a partner of Mad Dog is bad mouthing their own equipment that they offer. Says alot for them as a company. We as a company stand behind any warranties on any of our machines.
