Red Bull North America Red Bull and CCA stole $14555 form me. Santa Monica California

My name is Ismael Halidou, and Im from Alexandria VA. I recently entered into an agreement with a company called Creative Concepts of America (CCA) to purchase three Red Bull Vending machines and start a vending route franchise. I entered into this agreement on April 3rd 2006 at which time I paid CCA $14,555 for three Red Bull vending machines and 1000 cans of Red Bull that were to be shipped within forty five days of my purchase date.

I have not received my machines and every attempt I have made to get my money back has failed. CCA claimed to be Red Bulls exclusive vending distributor, and Red Bull led me to believe that indeed CCA was the only company I could purchase Red Bull (RB) vending machines from to start a RB vending route franchise. I have asked RB for help and their response to me is that I should make complaints to the Attorney General of Florida.

I have been defrauded by big business people who have taken my money and refuse to give me what I paid for. Is this legal? If I did this to people I would justifiably go to jail. Please help me get my money back. I have already filed a police report with Broward county sheriffs office. My case number is 06072465. I have also successfully sued CCA and was given a judgment in the amount of $14,555.
