In February I explored and reseached some vending bussinesses online and stumbled accross Redbull vending machines. Redbull was a hot product and I instantly became interested in the business opportunity that Creative Concept of America presented. I left my information and was soon contacted by CCA's development manager Edward Erdody. A few days later I received a packet which contained everything one would need to know in order to start this Redbull vending bussiness opportunity. After reading all materials in the packet I was convinced it is a lucrative business opportunity. One reason was a letter of agreement contained in the packet from RedBull's Director Jim Murphy to CCA's Andrew Kennedy which states the relationship of Redbull and CCA. Another reason I was convinced was the references CCA provided. I called everyone on that list and received positive feedback regarding the Redbull Vending business venture. Also, I was promised to be 1 of 5 authorized Redbull vending operator in my county.
A month later I was able to attained an Equity Loan and went ahead with the purchased of 3 Redbull machines and 1000 can of Redbull for $14,105. I received these 3 machines about a month and a half later.ccA also referred me to some location companies. I went with Excel Locations Service and paid them $500. Everything looked good until the rep of Excel location was struggling to get me even one location. A month later with no locations for my machines I became less optimistic about the situation. I tried calling CCA for direction but was unable to get through. I found out that CCA was in trouble and everyone working there had cleaned out their office. I was devasted as I came to the realization that I am a victim of a scam.
I was fortunate enough to get rid of my machines but only for $1200 each.
In retrospect, I believe that Redbull should be held accountable for my losses since they were in agreement with CCA which is no longer in existence.
