OK here we go with this scam. i was trying to start a small business so i decided on a vending machine one. seemed like a safe business i could start from home. and do in my spare time and keep my current job.

you know i look at a lot of vending businesses. i did want to do no stickers or bubble gum. that seemed small change and all the sites were advertising red bull vending machines. and from time to time we have all drank one of these drinks.

so i saw a perfect opportunity to make some money.so i was contacted by a man named Micheal biggs in Florida. he worked for a company called creative concepts of America. which was selling the machines for red bull , he told me that we would be able to place the machines in our local areas. people would be begging to get one.

so i paid my money and i got the machines so i called my locater and paid my money to them to place them. so three months went by no locater when i called them they seemed pissed that i would call and ask a question. but they had no problem taking my money. so i gave them a few more month and still nothing. so i got another locating company and the same thing happened again.

so i called cca and they said i would all be alright. then a month later i get a call and a email from cca that the whole red bull vending was ending just like that. so i got a call from red bull that never happened before. and they said they would help us to make our business work. and everything would be fine then i get a letter saying they would help or just buy them back. so then i hear nothing for a year. until one day they just want them back. so that was fine with me but seemed weird because some one else reported them to the Florida attorney general and postmaster. no that the threat of lawsuit comes in now red bull want them back a fast a possible and want us to sign a release form in order to get them to buy them back.

and they only want to pay any one who bought them bacisly pennies on the dollar. and my only point with them is they are in this as much as the rest of us and they are a billion dollar company. and they knew that we would never be able to place the machines or ever use them. so now they have come and bought them back so that they can now place them and resell them there selves which is fine. but we all paid alot of money to be part of the red bull company. and to get taken and they can waste more money on all the stupid events that nobody really cares about. instead of taking care of people who believed in their product and company name and rep. to just be taken just shows how greedy it has be come. and i understand all business are a risk. but when they know from the start the they are selling false dream or goals or what ever that is just wrong ! i worked hard for that money and now it's gone for nothing i just want to be treated fair.

this is the same as the home mortgage thing the companies new no body could make the payments in the future unless the house keep going up in value and then refinance it again. same with this red bull and CCA new we would never be able to place on use them. and took all the money to the bank. and like they say stupid is not a defense. so i will tell everyone out the red bull is a rip off and not worth your money for even on can. i sure i will never see my money again, but you live and learn so if i can help another before the waste there money i hope i did
