How do I find out more about my investment in cashless ATM machines
made through American Data Sales in Wheat Ridge CO. and the locating
company they work with called North American Locating Company, from
Lakewood CO. which is no-where to be found on the internet or by calls
because they are "out in the field locating" I had made a $12,000
investment and want answers not the same rebuddles from ADS on the
phone. The locating company won't tell me exactly where the machines
are and ADS tells me i have to pay an addtional $3,600  just fo find
out how many transactions I am doing "real-time." Can I contact anyone
that is involved doing exactly what I am doing as an investment with
the same company to get answers to see if this really works? Also I
have checkes with the BBB, FCC, IRS, and on the federal, state, and
county levels for both companys. ADS was listed in the BBB but North
American Locating Co. is no-where to be found or contacted due to
voice recordings that they are out in the field locating all the time.
FRUSTRATION!! I have also read all the documents that I signed
carefully and all the fine print.

CORRECTION:  North Amercian Location Company

I had never heard of Cashless ATMs but a sponsored advertisement above
the question says it all:

I know exactly what you're going through. Many of our investors
started off doing business with companies like this who are only
interested in making large commissions. "Bizop" companies don't care
if you make money. They're goal is to get as much out of you as
possible the first time you buy because they know they are running a
scam operation and they aren't going to be building any long term
business relationships.

Our business model is centered around what's right for you. You should
be in control of your own locations and be on a first name basis with
your merchants. It's your business, and nobody can look after it as
good as you can.

Don't be fooled into thinking these companies have your best interest
at heart, because they don't. We understand that if you prosper in
this business and you're happy with the way things are going, then you
will stay with it and the business relationship will grow. If
customers are getting what they need, then the profits will follow.
It's the only way to do business.

Although your ad has expired, I am an exact duplicate of you.  I
purchased 10 machines after researching carefully from American Data
Solutions in Wheat Ridge, CO.  Almost the second they got my money, I
was not allowed to call anyone but their Customer Service Dept. who
operates on a very limited basis a few hours a day. And...the number I
have called for the last year has just been disconnected and I had to
really hunt to contact them.  It's a very elaborate scam...I'm no
dummy.  At this point I have sent them my new email address change
TWICE and this will be the third month they have not communicated with
me.  So, in addition to only receiving pennies per month, now I get
nothing.  I have sent them a certified letter with return receipt
requested along with a letter to Bill Gerit at North American Locators
demanding to see my account for the last three months.  If I stop my
payments I'm in violation of the contract.  But, on the other hand, if
they don't communicate with me are they in violation?  This drives me
nuts.  I don't want to continue to pay on these bogus things.  Can
anyone help or shed some light on this situation?  Thank you.
