Complaint Review: Red Bull North America

My name is Jerry. I am one of the Unfortunates. My story is much like others. I am 35, a husband, and a father of three. In Feb 2006 I closed down our family owned and operated tavern that was my life and livelihood since 1998. As I searched for my next investment and endeavor, Red Bull was something I had a great deal of experience with and believed was a wonderful opportunity.

I was quickly sold on Creative Concepts due in large part to Red Bull North America's endorsement. I also have a good deal of experience with vending. I was aware that these machines were being substantially bumped up in cost. As was the product. These things did not bother me because I thought I was getting in tight with a Juggernaut. My wife made me really cool business cards. I dreamed of traveling location to location. I dreamed of dollies. I dreamed of expanding exponentially. And then I was horribly awoken by the debacle that was CCA.

I am out almost $30,000, not to mention ashamed for feeling impotent. Creative Concepts and Red Bull bilked hundreds of people for thousands upon thousands of dollars, and they simply DO NOT CARE. Red Bull is worth billions, and could easily take a little hit by coughing up some money, but they DO NOT CARE. CCA is gone forever, but the people who worked for them should be found and prosecuted. I wish SOMEONE would care somewhere. Thank you to Ripoff Report for this opportunity to vent.
