Especially those with well-known names, like red Bull, seem like very attractive propositions: Work at home, passive income, they place and service machines, you collect the money, etc. Here's an interesting story you may want to share with your readers both as a warning about vending or other scams that use well-known names to add credibility, and the damage a company's reputation can suffer by associating with the wrong people.  While <a title="red bull vending" href="http://www.unhappyfranchisee.com/2008/07/red-bull-vending-scam-alleged/" rel="nofollow">Red Bull</a> spends millions in advertising and sports sponsorships to create a positive image, a bad vending franchise program has ignited a controversy involving a very angry & vocal group of investors.  Feel free to link to and or quote from the dozens of comments they are leaving on franchise watchdog site <a title="franchise due diligence" href="http://www.unhappyfranchisee.com" rel="nofollow">Unhappy Franchisee</a> and <a title="red bull vending" href="http://www.franchisepick.com/franchise-business-opportunity-complaint-red-bull/" rel="nofollow">Franchise Pick</a>.
