To whom it may concern,
This report was filed on this website from a disbarred German lawyer who now lives in the Philippines, Aston Mom Nardone, and owns a production company which did business with Home Shopping Express (HSE) prior to our company making an investment in HSE; since this article was published we have disinvested from HSE and no longer have any affiliation or ownership of HSE.
The report Aston Mom Nardone filed on your site was an attempt to 'extort' money from our company (and me personally) as he knows we are a public company and wouldn't want any negative internet online reputation.
Aston Mom Nardone had apparently been a vendor and services provider for HSE prior to our investment in HSE. I know there were disputes between the two enterprises; personally and professionally. However, once our company made an investment in HSE, Aston Nardon decided to lump our company (and me personally apparently) into his smear campaign,demanding money from me/us or suffer extortion consequences such as this article.
When I first heard from Aston Mom Nardone via Skype requesting to be paid for services provided to HSE in the past, I personally conducted a full investigation and due diligence to the books and records of HSE to determine if the dispute was valid. After a deep investigation of all the accounts payables, it was CLEAR to me that not only was Aston Mom Nardone's companies paid, but in fact we found that Aston Mom Nardone severly overbilled for his services to HSE.
Regardless, we have since disinvested in HSE and no longer have any interest or ownership in HSE, therefore we are not liable for any of HSE's obligations. Bottom line, our company, nor I, ever did business with this man or his company, therefore it's not possible for us to owe him any money. This is all a lie and clearly a feeble attempt to extort money from us/me.
This man is using your website to hurt not only our company reputation online, but also my personal reputation as a means to EXTORT money from us and/or me personally. This is deplorable and unfortunately, he has used your website as a platform for his nefarious extortion activities.
Please take this into consideration, and feel free to contact me directly to resolve this matter in order to get this post removed from your website. I realize that hiring an attorney will likely be a waste of time and money against RipOff Report due to its policies. So, I am appealing to your sense of fairness and humanity and remove this extortion post.
Aston Mom Nardone may have a grievance against the ownership of HSE in the past as I know they once did business together, however we/I never did, so we/I should not be persecuted by him or this website.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of removing this report from your website.
