Lake Cities Vending Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I got an email a couple of weeks ago from a gut named Mark Mips from vendingbusinesslocator@gmail.com. He wanted to know if I needed any locations for $8.00 each. I ordered 10 locations in my area and he sent them later that day. I thought that was quick so I ordered another 10. Then I asked him how he got my email and how did he know I did the mint boxes. He said he couldn't say but he did work for Sheridan in the past. Went out to place the first 10. Two of the locations had been out of business for a while. A couple of them the contact person hasn't work there for a long time or they didn't know who they were. I realized that he had sent me an old list, probably from when he worked at Sheridan. I questioned him about it and he said no they were all new locations. I could tell from the Paypal receipt that he was in the Philippines, which I don't really have a problem with that. He sent me 22 locations, out of that I placed 7 boxes. I sent several emails and he said he would look into it. Now he want answer me any longer. I got the money back through Paypal for the second set of 10 I ordered. Just sending out a warning and wondering if he contacted anybody else. I guess he has records from Sheridan and out to make a quick buck.

I never did do anything with it though. Sounds like I would have regretted it. Thanks for the heads up, sorry they got you though.

verdigirl Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I also got an email from them. I asked him for more info and a website, never heard back. I suspected he got my info through Sheridan. Thank you for your warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney69 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 You can get outdated lists free. I doubt it was an old one, just a free one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vendtex Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 FWIW Sheridan Systems does have locating services on their website which are as little as $6 each for 200 or more up to $12 and $28 in person per their website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Cities Vending Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've been using Sheridan for years until they sold me and another local guy the same locations. Maybe it was this same guy from when he was working for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
