NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Television Production Scam back to work! Well it appears Paul Scott from Platinum Television Production in South Florida has arisen from the dead and is back to scamming perspective retail business owners out of thousands through a new "affiliated" company called KH Direct Media. This company claims to be affiliated with Kevin Harrington an infomercial kingpin of sorts that coined lots of popular as seen on tv products ages ago. Kevin Harrington is involved in several projects currently, and this one could not be verified by his organization. Any production company that is asking for 10's of thousands of dollars (15k, 20k, 25k, up to 40k even) to produce a spot for you is a scam. As we have learned, the cost is not that high for quality HD production of anything and to air on local networks - maybe in the 1k to 5k range at MOST. BEWARE of this and also the explanation of the cost being so high becuase you will be airing on "big name networks", etc. As seen in past scams associated with Paul Scott, Platiunum (now known as KH Direct Media) NOTHING AIRS..... Below is an email that was sent to our company to solicit the scam.
Hello,
Angelo Ferraro, senior product manager from the studios of KH Direct Media & Kevin Harrington, you may know Kevin as an original Shark on Shark Tank, and as the pioneer of the “As Seen on TV” brand, but his current project has him looking to discover relevant products in a variety of categories including Grillmaster. (Company name taken out) was brought to our attention and we’d like to schedule a call to learn more and discuss the possibility of participating in his upcoming media campaign. We can either coordinate a best day & time via email or you can reach me directly at our studios at 813-498-2124 ext. 2011. Also, our website is www.khdirectmedia.com

Hey, Brian Harrington here, I've been fielding calls regarding KH and the Shark Finds DRTV campaign. I'd like to set the record straight:
1. Kevin Harrington (my Dad) serves as the Co-Executive Producer of these DRTV campaigns and films customized introductions of every product featured.
2. This is a For-Profit, Independent Media Production company and there is a fee involved. The fee is considered nominal in the DRTV industry for a media test and the participants have ownership of the spots produced. An opportunity is presented; however, nobody is under any obligation to proceed, if it's not a good fit for their company.
3. The DRTV spots ABSOLUTELY air in the top 100 markets and Cable Networks. Scheduled notifications are provided in advance of airings. Affidavits of Performance are issued by the networks.
4. The company always tries to respond to all inquiries, including questions of legitimacy. The studio offers In-Studio tours to meet the team, upon request. We invite you to resubmit any inquiries.
5. On a quarterly basis, the company organizes an Innovators Think Tank in Coral Springs, Florida, for the participants of the campaign. My Dad and I are present for one-on-one meetings, as well as an impressive Advisory Board and Executive team. This event allows for a greater understanding of the DRTV industry, the role of New Digital Media and assisting our participants in potential retail opportunities.
6. Important to note: the postings on this site are NOT actual participants. Many of the actual participants of the campaign serve as references, and have written glowing testimonials about the progress they've attained as part of this opportunity.
I'm mind boggled by the number of companies that have had their good names damaged by sites that allow these types of anonymous posts. The studio will kindly address any further questions regarding this matter.
