Hello all, new to this site
I met up with Paul Cooper in brum about 7 years ago
Like a mug I bought into one of his franchises
Big mistake..I was lucky I got 50 beavers..think now the deal gets you 40 Segram machines..
You all know the average beaver takes £10-£15/month..some better some worse
Also works on paying 10% commission..joke
His team cold call the area you bought into
Most pubs etc are the crapest of the crap..
So my info would be don't touch bite size...
Hope this helps
Need anymore info just message me

Knew it sounded dodgy, I don't like people that won't give proper figures or details unless you agree to meet them. Glad I didnt waste my time!

I met this guy in 2011 when I was looking at different franchises and he offered me exactly the same deal - 40 bulk vendors for 10 grand plus VAT. He claimed an average £67.56 in sales for each machine per month and extrapolated this up to 100 machines by year 2 and £51516.00 net profit in a year!

When I met him he claimed to be starting a new venture - Pringles machines (towers), I just dug the brochure out - claimed average monthly sales - £300!

I checked out his claimed 'average' sales figures and realized it was a con.

I was the latest victim of this scam...as a result I've got 13k debt to pay back to my bank & more than half the machines are still sitting in my house, after almost three months as they were unable to present me with any decent sites to fit the vending machines...if anyone has any ideas or experience with this sort of thing & can help me to sort this & get my money back, I would be forever grateful!

Sorry to hear that, the vending industry is a magnet for con men unfortunately. If I were you I would try and site the remaining machines yourself as the last thing you want is the machines sat at home earning nothin. If you are no good at site finding then perhaps you could ring tubz vending and ask them to do it for you. They are a bit hit and miss with quality but its only going to cost you £20 per site and at least they will earn you some money back. Good luck

Did they put in writing regarding sales, or as is most of the time it's an estimate. Did you get a contract?


Small claims is cheap enough and easy to do, actually getting the money is a bit harder unfortunately.
