This company preys on unsuspecting new business owners by contracting in writing to locate any machines that you purchase from National Vending Consultants for a fee of 50.00 per location. National has them on a locator reference list along with two others and you may choose which one to use. However the salesman (richard) I talked to from National highly recommended ALS so I went along with them.
If you are delayed in accepting Nationals deal, and you have tried to contact the locators to get some back ground info, they will have get your name and phone number and will call you back. Using high pressure tactics and your enthusiasm against you, they masquerade as a eager company that wants to get down to work and immedately find you locations that you would approve of.
Also they guarantee in writing that you will at least recoup the cost of your machines in less than 12 months or you will get the difference refunded by them.
They insist on a wire transfer. A wire transfer cannot be reversed or recouped. And the money can easily be transferred to another account.
After this be ready for a long never ending series of phone calls, which if they do answer (ID caller is a great tool) will only be met with "I will give him the message" or a promise that they will assign another locator because yours has just found another reason why they cant be available to find your locations or a flat out Ill call you right back.
In the end, You will lose any and all money that you foolishly sent to them and you will find that they are experts in their field (not necessarily locating). Any chance of collecting your money will then cost you more than what you would expect to collect and that there isnt any guarantee that you will even get anything.
Stephen Mazziota does not associate his name with American Location Specialist in any of their literature however he was the owner of the account that I was diected to wire the money too. And he is listed on the Orange Cty fictitous business name (reg. Number 20036936865, along with Krystal Whittenburg) search web site.
Other People that are involved are: Krystal Whittenburg, registered co-owner of the business, Tony Lange, Marketing Director, Ron Alfoso, Location manager, or any of the following locators: Matt Dillion, Mike O'Donnell, Bob Dillion. Phone numbers associated with this company include: ALS: (800) 592-6393, ALS: (949) 709-5203, Ron Alfonso: (909) 371-0304, Dillions: (330) 284-8406, (216) 288-9181.
If anyone has been victemized by Steve Mazziota, American Location Specialist, Patrick Abeyta or National Vending consultants contact me through the rebuttal key. Also I would like to hear from anyone who has even done business with these individuals.
