South Beach Coffee Company/Troyal Inc Bob Pac Classic Case of White Collar Crime Miami, Florida

I came in contact with South Beach Coffee (Troyal,Inc.) after seeing an advertisement for a coffee distributorship business opportunity. I spoke with an individual named Michael Hutton for sevral weeks before making a decision to proceed. I began doing what I thought was extensive homework researching this company. I checked the local Better Business Bureau and the Florida State Department and everything seemed legitimate.  

 On September 27, 2011 I signed a distributor agreement with Troyal, Inc. to represent the South Beach Coffee Company and become distributor in Northeast, Ohio. In order to receive the product, and begin selling as a new distributor, a pre-payment was required before shipment would occur. On September 30,2011 Troyal, Inc./South Beach coffee cashed my company check in the amount of $16,950. During the weeks of 10/3/11 and 10/10/11 no representatives from Troyal, In/ South Beach Coffee contacted me about my order.

Starting to get nervous, I began making several attempts via email, phone and web site to discuss the status of this paid order. No one ever responded to me and on Monday, October 17, 2011 I discovered that the phone is now disconnected.  The web site is still active as of this date Southbeachcoffeco.com. Rumor has it they have shut the doors, but I do not know for sure. They cashed my check knowing they were going to close the business and essentially stole from me. Since this is now a federal matter I have filed a complaint with the the F.B.I along with the Florida Department of Consumer Services,The Florida Attorney General and the Southeast Florida BBB about what has occurred. I am sure others have been impacted by this crime too. Hopefully Karma, or the Law will catch up with these white collar crooks.
