Cyber-Tabloid sites like this and others who you all trust and therefore must believe in aliens and that Elvis & Jim Morrison are singing duets together. Why not do the professional background search on a company by checking out their BBB listing. Ours is: http://www.seflorida.bbb.org. Good luck.
Ms. Peden,
My words are not meant to threaten or scare you in any way. Here is the lie I am referring to in your complaint:
1.) "Mike Martoe have called me a number of times to harrass me. They threated to sexually abuse me, to come to my home and other harmful things."
2.) "They need to be put out of business and go to jail for making threats."
These are lies. I, MIKE MARTOE, NEVER SPOKE WORDS TO YOU THAT YOU CLAIM IN YOUR COMPLAINT. MY VOICE NEVER UTTERED THAT KIND OF SMUT INTO YOUR EAR. THAT IS A LIE. THAT IS SLANDER. THAT IS DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER.
In addition, you make direct reference to my family in your rather cavalier response to my rebuttal. I ask you never ever make reference to my family in any way - EVER. I have not done so to you, nor will I.
Have your attorneys look at what you and I have posted here. I will be happy to have my legal team speak to your people any time. I have a signed petition with almost 140 signatures on it speaking on behalf of my character and my job responsibilities here. If someone here spoke to you in the manner you claim, they deserve to be reprimanded by their superiors - not me. I am in charge of sales. I oversee the producers who are out in the field selling consistently. You were not one of them. So we never spoke. And, if we did, I am not surprised I did not remember you. You never officially 'started' with the company. You never sold any advertising. Why? That is your business. You also requested I not contact you via phone, which I will respect.
REMEMBER, THE TRUTH IS ON MY SIDE. I, MIKE MARTOE, NEVER EVER THREATENED OR SPOKE TO YOU IN THE MANNER YOU CLAIM IN YOUR COMPLAINT. THIS WILL NEVER EVER GO AWAY UNTIL YOU TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR ITEM. I WILL GO TO WHATEVER LENGTHS THE LAW PROVIDES TO SEE JUSTICE IS SERVED HERE. You have slandered my family's name, committed defamation of character and are responsible to me for punitive damages allowed by the law. (by the way, an attorney is over my shoulder as I write this).
Please tell the truth and this will all go away.
Regards,
Mike Martoe
Here is an excerpt from an email I received from Ms. Peden and I think this proves my point that she did in fact lie, meaning I never spoke to her in the manner she described in her original complaint. Since she will not take accountability for her own wrongdoing, I will accept this as an apology:
To Whom It May Concern:
I worked for this company only a few weeks but when they did not pay me for the work that I did I chose not to continue my employment.. At that time I was called and harassed by Victor Lewis my supervisor at the time. He asked for materials to be sent back along with the people I met. I explained to him that I had given him the list of people and I had no other materials except for the folder. At this time he proceeded to cuss me and then threatened to "stick his dick in my mouth" if I did not give him what he wanted. I asked if he was threatening to rape me at which time he replied "I will do whatever it takes to get my money's worth out of you. I know where you live and I will come to your house." I hung up on him and called 911 to report the crime here in Knoxville, TN. I also called the office and asked to speak with Victor's manager and was given Mike Martoe. He claimed he had never heard of me before...
Apology accepted. Next time get your facts and names correct. Thank you.
Regards,
Mike Martoe
First of all, your personal information does not appear anywhere on this site. Your wishes were respected even though your story is seeming to change a bit. I will just complete your apology by posting the following excerpt from an email you sent me today and we never have to speak again:
“To Whom It May Concern:

Oh, and as for the other complaints you mentioned, I was never Lewis Victor's supervisor and we both work in different departments. So I'm not surprised I did not know you at first. I did find your cell number because we are a company and we do retain records on all applicants and if you listened to the message, it was a very sincere question, "Why do accuse me of these attacks?" That's all. We're all proud of your research, phone records and 911 call, but that never addressed the reason for my apology. Seems like your lawyers need to educate you a bit more. Good luck to you and your family and thank you for the truth.
Again, thank you for the apology. I simply wanted you to acknowledge the FACT that I never spoke to you in the manner you described. I will not address any of your other ridiculous and irresponsible comments (you do need to use your spell/grammar-check, though). Naturally, if anyone with access to the World Wide Web goes to our South Florida BBB, they will find my name as the Director and assume I own the company (wrong). Therefore, that is why you see my name peppered into a search engine for me or the company I work for. Though some are mistakenly negative and misguided, there is nothing I can do about that. Again, thank you for the truth and good luck in the future.
