I was also a victim of the cookie vending machine scam.
In April 2004, I bought 21 cookie vending machines from UAC(Gaylen Tirrell) owner. When I received them, over half them started breaking apart. The machines were made of cheap plastic that was super glued together. The brackets on the lids would breakoff and the seams of the base would crack open as well as other parts would break as wells. I was also never told about the clam shells. Nolan Dobsen (Proplastics) was the manufacturer. I filed a lawsuit with him. I lost because I was told I had to suit UAC, Gaylen Tirrell not the Proplastics because I purchased it directly through Gaylen. Mr Dobsen also sold me substandard cookies that went stale quickly. I filed a lawsuit against Gaylen Tirrell. I won the first lawsuit but he appealed and I lost because I was told that I could not file a lawsuit against him personally, I would have to file against UAC. UAC is no longer a company and Gaylen Tirrell has since died. Nolan Dobsen knows exactly what he is doing. He is scamming good and decent hard working people. He should be in jail. I have lost over 15,000.00. I feel like such a fool. Nolan is long overdue and what goes around comes around. Keep me informed on the latest information on him. Let me know what I can do to help.
