I bought a territory and 3 turbines on 05/29/07. As of today 02/07/08 this original order is still not complete. I have been contacted by 7 other distributors all with the same story. Carl Vetts (real name Carl Vettes) signs you up and sends you 1 turbine. The police say that this is a legal issue so that after he sends you the one unit they can not assist you as it is a civil matter.
Carl has used this same scam at least once before selling territories for a golf product that he then did not supply or supplied product that did not work. This scam was listed as Topgolf and can be viewed at the BBB and www.frauds.org. His freetricity BBB rating was "A" when I started dealing with him but has now dropped to a "CCC".
The turbines that he sends out for this scam do not and can not work as they are. I have been able to personally test two of the units and have spoken with two other distributors that have had their units tested by electrical engineers. I have never spoken to anyone that has charged a battery (what the units are supposed to do) with one of Carls turbines.
Carl claimed that back in 05/07 he had 70,000 working units out however he has refused to provide contact for any of these units to anyone that I have spoke with. He also claims to have over 400 distributors but again refuses to provide contact info and internet searches fail to turn up even a couple of working freetricity sites. Carl is very smooth and obviously knows the legal system keeping things small and spread out to avoid law enforcement. This is certainly a buyer beware.
