Bringing Home the BS

The modus operandi on PFA... Let's start with frequent comments or posts about the following:

1. Grands Fonds (a PF poster with whom Michael Tonello had an Ebay run in - in 2007. Do you even remember your Ebay sales or purchases from 2007? And since Mr. Tonello wasn't banned from Ebay until long after that, that doesn't seem to be the reason.)
2. Amazon and sales of Michael Tonello's book Bringing Home the Birkin
3. Gushing about Michael Tonello and Donna Lehtonen. We particularly loved the one about how the PFA "author" met with MT and DL in NY in January. It's seriously time to get those multiple personalities integrated.

There is also the insistence that there is are all kinds of nefarious scams going on at PF. Yawn. As we've said previously, perhaps there are. Any large blog where people interact in real life is going to have them. It's called buyer beware. Where's the outrage over what happens on Ebay or Bonanza or ANY other large interactive site? We're waiting to see that.

The email correspondence that Michael Tonello posted on PFA. What's that about? Fabricated or were they real? I would like to know the truth please.

If you google "Michael Tonello blog" this website pops up on the first page of Google results. Good work, TPFAExposed!!!!

The correspondence he published is total bullshit. ANYONE can write a word document and make it look like it's real. He harassed grands fonds to the point where she has had to get the police involved and basically erase her presence online. OVER A SCARF?

PFA's other writing style:

a. Have a post where "Anonymous" is poking fun at a member of the PF picking from the following words or a combination of them: nefarious/jealous dreamer/shyster/braggart/snob

b. if called out on it, insult the person calling them out as "PF moron" or "PF idiot" .

You really should find yourself a thesaurus, Mikey!

See the following from PFA:

tpf = shysters PLUS braggarts and snobs.

This gem from kalodie1 regarding RHONY:

"No I actually think Sonya can not believe she is forced to socialize with the likes of Alex and Simon. Regardless of her background as a gold digging waitress, which she fully admits to, she was married to a Morgan for God's sake. Look at where she lives...and the types of people and status she was exposed to while married to him. One can get used to that very easily and believe me...she and her husband did not mingle with the likes of Alex and Simon. That I can guarantee...nor did Luann and the Count or any of the others for that matter."

Sonya was married to a horse??!

Not everybody knows that a Morgan is a breed of horse. How are you, Donna?

Hey Im a little confused... I was looking up stuff about Birkins in the wake of that Ashley Tisdale tweet thing--Im not really the expensive purse type-- and I came across your site. Interesting reading, sounds like these purses cause lots of controversy but anyway when I looked up the Purse Forum Advisory to find out exactly what you are talking about it on here it states that it is "Michael Tonello's PFA." so I'm not really getting where the mystery/controversy is on who writes it? Not trying to be mean, just found it odd because even your banner makes it sound like noone knows this. Sure there is some explanation, anyway good luck with everything, im sure the truth will come out in the end anyway.

Surprised that Michael Tonello has come forward as the owner of The Purse Forum Advisory Blog.

What do you say now Donna?

Gee. Is anyone really surprised that Michael Tonello has finally come forward as the owner of PFA? So ... all those denials in the past? More lies from him? And do you all finally see his agenda, once and for all? This dude is only concerned about one thing: he wants to take down PF by attacking their advertisers, posters and owners. Frankly, he should be ashamed of himself for allowing the kind of disgusting content on that blog. PFAE, don't stop writing about this - until he's ashamed enough to shut PFA down.

I am glad that Michael Tonello has finally come forward as the owner of that disgusting PFA. I did not need his confirmation, but I am relieved to have it. At least I know for sure and know that he is a liar. He denied ownership for so long. No one should ever trust him again. Ever. He is a liar and a cheat.

Needs a bit of a history telling here. Michael Tonello had long denied any ownership of PFA but continued in bashing members of the Purse Forum. The only compliments were of himself, his book and his BFF Donna Lehtonen. Everyone else associated with tpf is a scammer according to their years of tales and mischief.

Overnight, the masthead includes Michael Tonello's name. He is up to something. He probably is thinking short pain for long term redemption? I think it's all over for you. See the evil that you have done all these years? Revenge was all you thought about and you sure worked up a lot of delusions in your head. If you had really solid good friends, they would have advised you to enjoy your life in Barcelona. You ought to have spent your time and energy cultivating good relationships. Guess not.

EXACTLY. I couldn't agree more, what sort of a sad life does this Tonello loser have to go to such extremes. Just proves what sort of character he is, really.

I can answer that one: fabricated, completely.

The ebay transaction with GF didn't even involve the items he mentions in this fake correspondence. He has had two different transactions, between two completely different buyers confused from the start, and has 'merged' the two into this fake email discussion. Shows just how much time he put in to creating his BS, really.

More proof that he can't keep up with his own lies.
