Common Vending Machine Business Scams And How To Avoid Them

In the vending machine business, scams are found left and right.

Because the vending business is an easy, almost dream business; it’s easy for scam artists to trick many new vending operators.

Always remember that, although the vending machine business has great potential, it is after all a business. If it sounds too good to be true even for a vending business; it probably is.

Common Scams:

Overpriced Vending Machines: Although this is not directly a scam, it is worth mentioning.

Many times unethical companies will target inexperienced buyers who have little knowledge of the vending machine business and try to sell them new vending machines at a premium price.

An overpriced vending machine will take longer to pay for itself; in fact the overpriced vending machine scam is the number one cause for vending machine businesses to close down.

Remember that the vending machine market is huge, you can always find cheaper, used vending machines in good condition if you dig through the internet deep enough.

Buying a Vending machine in poor condition: This is a scam that usually occurs when buying from another individual instead of a company; buying a vending machine without actually seen it and testing it in real life is an easy way of getting scammed.

Always confirm the condition of the machine in real life if possible. If this is not possible buy from a reputable seller or a reputable vending company.

Bad Locating companies: A locating company will find locations for your vending machines at a price. The problem is, many of these companies don’t do anything you couldn’t do yourself; such as calling local businesses and asking to place a vending machine in their establishment.

Many times a locating company will claim to be “the best locating company able to find super earning locations for your machines” (or something along those lines) when in reality these companies place your machines in average/mediocre places.

If you are starting a vending machine business, find the locations yourself, it will benefit you in the long run.

Poor Vending Routes: When you sell a vending route, you can be selling a single vending machine in location or it can be a whole vending machine business.

In the route scam the seller will usually claim the route generates more money than it actually makes.

When buying a vending route always ask for some sort of verification to the profit of the route. Bank statements are the best way of verifying the actual profit of the route.

False Income potential claims: Vending machine companies that guarantee “making x amount of money” with their vending machines should not be trusted.

Remember that profit potential in the vending business depends entirely up to the location as well as the work and capital you put into the business.

If a company guarantees that you will make a certain amount of money by purchasing their vending machines, they are most likely after your money and nothing more.


The Ultimate Way of Avoiding Scams

Knowledge:  Been well informed about the business you want to pursuit will always beat any scam. Many of these scams can be easily avoided by taking a little bit of time and researching.

Scammers pray on the lack of knowledge of their victims, for this reason knowledge is the ultimate way of avoiding vending machine scams.

Suspek kes penipuan mesin layan diri dibawa masuk ke dalam kereta polis sambil disaksikan oleh sekumpulan mangsa di hadapan sebuah hotel di Petaling Jaya, kelmarin.

KUALA LUMPUR 9 Okt. – Satu skim penipuan perniagaan mesin layan diri (vending machine) yang melibatkan kerugian ratusan juta ringgit berjaya ditumpaskan menerusi penangkapan seorang lelaki di Petaling Jaya dekat sini semalam.

Kegiatan penipuan itu dibongkar hasil maklumat yang diperoleh Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) selepas kira-kira setahun mengumpul bukti dan maklumat daripada kira-kira 1,600 individu yang menjadi mangsa skim berkenaan.

Dalam serbuan semalam, PPIM dengan kerjasama polis memberkas lelaki yang dipercayai salah seorang dalang utama skim penipuan itu ketika memberi ceramah di sebuah hotel.

Pegawai Kerja PPIM, Mustafa Hamzah berkata, dalam serbuan itu juga 30 mangsa penipuan skim tersebut meminta supaya suspek memulangkan semula wang mereka sehingga berlaku pergaduhan kecil.

“Suspek akhirnya mengaku bahawa beliau bertanggungjawab serta sedang berusaha untuk memulangkan wang yang dituntut mangsa,” dakwanya di sini hari ini.

Mustafa menambah, PPIM kemudiannya menghubungi Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Petaling Jaya yang menghantar anggota untuk menahan suspek bagi siasatan lanjut.

Katanya, mangsa dikatakan ditipu supaya membeli beberapa jenis mesin layan diri Matkiosk (mesin serbaguna), Waterdrop (air) dan ‘kiddie ride’ (alat permainan kanak-kanak).

Menurutnya, modus operandi skim itu adalah dengan menjanjikan keuntungan setiap bulan kepada pelabur yang membeli mesin itu, namun tidak pernah dibayar.

Setiap mesin layan diri itu katanya, dijual dengan harga serendah RM18,000 dengan ada di kalangan pelabur yang membeli beberapa mesin berbeza membabitkan nilai sehingga RM100,000.

Berikutan penangkapan suspek itu juga, Mustafa menyeru orang ramai yang menjadi mangsa kepada penipuan skim perniagaan mesin layan diri itu tampil memberi maklumat kepada pertubuhan itu.

Sementara itu, Ketua Polis Daerah Petaling Jaya, Asisten Komisioner Arjunaidi Mohamed ketika dihubungi mengesahkan seorang lelaki ditahan dalam kejadian itu kerana dipercayai terlibat dalam skim penipuan perniagaan.
