We find it highly amusing how Michael Tonello faffs on about how he's all about "exposing" and "reporting" fakes and scams.
Highly.
Since, of course, he is the ultimate fake himself. Perhaps he should buy himself a dictionary, because he seems to have confused the word "report" with "stalk" and the word "expose" with "lie".
Folks, he LIED about being behind PFA. Lied, and lied, and lied. Over and over and over. His lies are actually too numerous to count. Threatened to sue (himself). He goes after people he claims misrepresent themselves, yet we do believe he posted a photo of himself in Bob Lehtonen's car on StyleForum.net and tried to pass it off as his. Tries to pass himself off as an expert. Hysterical how he's taken out his little sleuth outfit to "investigate" the latest Hermes fake .... oh, by the way. Some of those photos have watermarks from the legitimate owners still on them. Guess you need a larger magnifying glass, friend. And anyone going to him for help? We'd be really careful about handing over any personal information to this dubious character.
Tries to pass himself off as wealthy. Because all the wealthy people we know have stalls on Bonanza selling scarf booklets. Keeps them occupied between charity balls and cruises in the south of France, we guess.
And heaven forfend someone should make the grave, grave error of criticizing his work of literary genius (a work of bad fiction that was obviously miscategorized) ... his poor benighted ego just can't handle that! We can think of lots of authors ... doesn't make them worthy of respect. Does Mein Kampf ring a bell, Mikey? He was an author, too.
We especially love it when he gets all hot and bothered about what we write here. Can't handle the truth, Mikey? That's OK. The rest of us know it when we see it. Even if you don't. And we're happy to keep pointing it out to you.

He posted the photo of himself with the Mercedes SLS AMG in the GQ Forum, not StyleForum. The photo caption was "My ride for the next two weeks".
Get your story straight.
Sounds like a post from MT or duchess, nasty. When they post on Efen Haute, pure sweetness. They certainly just save it.
wHat's his ID on Bozanza? I'm looking for Hermes booklets.
@Anonymous 9:24AM
Nasty? The fact is that the author is wrong. Seems you have a double standard here. I was a member of GQ for nearly 10 years and posted thousands of comments, I know what was and wasn't said. I also import Porsche's and am a self-proclaimed car nut and therefore remember that specific post very clearly. {And no I'm not a duchess or MT.}
What's the double standard - the fact that he lied about the car being his, or tried to make people think it was (he also posed outside what I'm guessing was Donna's house and tried to give the impression it was his) is still a lie. The fact that the authors here confused StyleForum with GQ? Big deal.
And if you were on the GQ forums all that time, did you agree with Tonello that it was ok to bully that kid?
@Anonymous 1:58PM
The double standard is this: I've read many of the comments on this blog, most of which are nasty, yet no one has ever commented that the comments are nasty (and they most definitely are). I made a comment that the photo MT posted said "My ride for the next two weeks" and that the blog author should get the story straight, and you called me nasty. It's hardly nasty. It's nasty when you state something that is not true. "the next two weeks" does not suggest ownership of the vehicle.
That "kid" who you refer to is 25 years old and claimed to be a billionaire. Yes I agreed with MT and we had regular discussions about him. On the GQ forum that "kid" wrote that both his parents died in a helicopter crash years ago. On the StyleForum {some months later} he wrote that he was shopping at Bergdorf Goodman for cufflinks for his father for father's day. He made "dates" with many of us on the forum to meet for drinks, etc, but was always a no-show. You should get your facts straight before you protect a pathological liar. That "kid" was the laughing stock of the GQ Forum and the subject of hundreds of Private Messages to that effect. He was quickly exposed for what he was {a liar} on StyleForum, and he disappeared after about 15 posts. MT was bold enough to stand up to him on GQ and call him for what he was.
To 3:16; thanks for your comments. The owners of this blog never called you nasty. We're sure some of the comments here are, and some have been critical of us as well. That's fine. We do think if you take a look at what MT has done to many people over a period of over ten years now - actions which involved getting involved in their real life activities, and not their screen names - you might have a different view of him. We certainly do. Sorry, but we don't think it's "bold" to stand up to, harass, and stalk people in real life.
"Sorry, but we don't think it's "bold" to stand up to, harass, and stalk people in real life."
??? You've lost me on that one.
Did you mean, "over the internet" rather than "in real life"?
Or did Tonello actually confront someone in person?
I know that according to his memoirs he stated he was prepared to take on the sexy Frenchman who had a SA @ Hermes luuuuuuuv him (name escapes me right now), but I never took him to be a front on bully boy.
Who does Mikey think he is anyway, the FBI? So he tries this vigilante behavior all over the internet trying to catch people who say they aren't who they are? Wow. Maybe he could lend his expertise to the US intelligence services, which would be way more useful that wasting his time trying to find out who pretended to be what.
I mean...does he think people are stupid? I think he does, because usually most people can figure out a faker after a while. It might take some time, but time usually tells and fakers do out themselves eventually.
I feel so sorry for poor Mikey. Just think! If he'd found his vocation 20 years ago, he might have even found out where Osama was hiding!
@Anonymous GQ forum member. Congratulations. You busted a 25 year old kid pretending to be a billionaire. Do you think this is some great justice? That you have brought a criminal mastermind into the light of day? Please. MT is just as guilty of pretending to live a life he can only dream of. Fashion forums will always be this way. They are anonymous forums where people can create all kinds of false personas. If the 25 year old was a little more clever, you would probably still believe he is a billionaire. But, please do continue on with your good work of policing fashion forums from poseurs. You are going to be one busy guy.
" MT was bold enough to stand up to him on GQ and call him for what he was.
July 3, 2011 3:16 PM"
Bold? More like a troublemaker, Michael Tonello is. I'm not much of a follower of the story on GQ Forum, but have this point to make - MT has no right to bully. Call this boy out? On what authority? Even if the boy has lied, you just don't have to like him and walk away. Instead, Michael Tonello makes a victim of him and harrasses him, as he does without anyone he has an issue with. Grow up.
Hwah hwah hwah! Just 2 weeks? Can't afford one, aye?
It's OK not owning a car of a prestige marque. One would have to be terribly shallow to judge a person by the car he or she drives.
Shallow, to need a car to enhance self-worth. Guess every bit helps when you've none.

Then why do you come here if you aren't involved and a victim of MT and his side kick, Duchess?
I don't go to your blog and post, not interested in it. If your privacy was invaded by a cyper stalker then perhaps you would understand.
I suggest you mind you own business unless you are a victim and slandered by these dispicable people.
@PFAExposed
Interesting you'd claim that MT was stalking and harassing that guy "in real life" since none of us knew his real name or where he lived. That is about as accurate as the earlier claim you made about the Mercedes ownership.
So this Mikey guy has been stalking and bullying someone for ten years? Why haven't the police been brought in?
"Sorry, but we don't think it's "bold" to stand up to, harass, and stalk people in real life."
SO, TO BE CLEAR, ITS HARASSMENT AND STALKING WHEN HE DOES IT, BUT ITS OKAY WHEN YOU DO IT.

Have you written a letter to, or called MT?
To the GQ forum guy.
You don't know the history of what people have experienced at MT & duchess wrath.
Why don't you inform yourself by reading more on MT's blog! You are exposed to only part of the story & making yourself look foolish by not knowing 'the rest of the story.' Open your mind & drop the ego.
And we'll ignore your rantings till you are fully informed.
I see that you haven't posted my question. I will ask again.
You claim that MT has stalked and harassed someone for 10 years. Has that person written to or phoned him about it? Did they file a police report? Or do you (and they) just write about it on here?
And we'll ignore your rantings till you are fully informed.
July 4, 2011 8:27 AM

I have read both blogs. I believe there are always two sides to every story. My question is this: Did the person being harassed and stalked for ten years contact MT directly? Were the police contacted?

^^ DUUUUUDE, I am surprised she wasted her entire bank account on H! I bet her SA's were so glad she bought the entire store! I hope she goes bankrupt soon. She's asking for it. LOL.
Someone seriously needs to get her to take a picture of her house. If she lives in some mansion, then I can let her purchases slide, but if it's some ugly, run down, trailer park (and she looks like one), then that woman has some serious issues.
I'm surprised her husband approved her buying the entire store. I feel sorry for him now that his wife wasted $500,000,000 on H. In this economy you'd think she'd be more wise. Let's hope her and her DH's job gets laid off so she can cry and has to sell/return all those items. LAWL!
And look, she has a son. Shouldn't this bish focus on taking care of her son instead of wasting her money on H? Like cooking, cleaning, and buying him a whole tower full of toys? I guess she only cares about herself and not her little boy. Spoiled whore.
I find it funny that she's going to put up a lawsuit for those who steal her pictures. really? Like the court is going to bother with that. Fat ugly betch.

Regarding the post @11:57 - I was thinking the exact same thing. "Somebody" is a little jealllllllous arent' they! Calling the OP names like that. There is no reason whatsoever to call her names. She is a darling girl who can spend her money any way she want to and it is none of Michael Tonello's and Donna's business or anyone else's. I am so sick of the jealous people on PFA making fun of people, calling people names, etc. for no reason. They get all bothered if people don't post all their H in one picture or have modeling shots. Then someone does and all they do is call them disgusting names and make fun of them.

Don't waste your "pity" on her husband.
She is a lovely young woman who is well educated and married to a loving DH. Yes, there are a few of those around, Donna. She's the original wife not the 3rd wife. They never do as well.
Don't waste you time worrying about them, worry about yourself.

You don't need to know this information! You aren't involved.
It is definitely duchess, she is obsessed with her house. And she uses her house as a ridiculous yardstick, as to measure up how rich a person is. Duh. No point having a showy house if you have a huge mortgage on it! LOL!! Why must people prove their worthiness to you? Why do you care? People can live simply, to stay under the radar but have a very pleasant lifestyle. Your way is not other people's way.
People buy H for all sorts of reasons, and mainly because they are happy with their purchases. No business of yours to determine whether one can or cannot carry H.
And to have you curse someone on the forum that you don't know, you seriously need to have your head examined. Why so angry all the time?
"You must think victims are stupid. Why would anyone give MT their home or phone information after the crap he posted about them on the internet?"
----------------
Again you story does not add up. You claimed earlier that he was stalking and harassing you (even at your place of employ) for 10 years. How would he do that without already having your home or phone information? And if you went to the police you wouldn't "give MT their home or phone information".
And if you sent him a letter you don't have to put your return address on it. Again, get your story straight. And with comments like the one you wrote, yes, I am beginning to think "victims are stupid." Actually what I think is that you are a pathetic liar.
"You are opening several blogs with different ID's, MIKEY."

That's easy to answer, duchess is married to a rich/ elderly/ obese man who keeps her financially on an Hermes budget. He's a "lucky pilot"!
Things are going to get ugly. duchess made her blog "duchessofh" private again. It won't be forever, she loves to show off!
Still got you duchess:

Sorry to tell you the bad news
Who are all the MT- fan trolls who have invaded this blog?!? Amazing that out of nowhere they just happen to come across it while surfing the net. PULEEEZE!
There is a pattern on PFA. Anyone on the Hermes forum who has made multiple reveals or huge reveals are always ridiculed by Donna Lehtonen and Michael Tonello.
Mia has her initials stamped on her bags. If they weren't, I bet you, Donna and Mikey would have come out to suggest that she's a reseller. Just because they cannot comprehend that there are far richer people on earth, and want to create doubt about these ladies' blessed.
Their bank accounts are full and do not get depleted by one shopping trip. Their financial growth is typically faster than anyone's imagination. But of course, you have 2 clowns who cannot understand that, and instead chosose to curse a member of the purse forum.
Sour grapes. Your partners don't gift you enough H your hearts desire? So you ridicule others more fortunate than you? Pathetic.

DL is strange, she seems to think she's at the very top of the heap & no one else comes close.
Almost like DH limits her exposure to life & others who live big also?
See what I mean? Michael Tonello and Donna Lehtonen up to their same old nonsense. Contacting the owner of Hermes Culture pretending to be an interested buyer of a particular bag, with the sole purpose of acquiring personal information and then splash that information on PFA. For what? To pose as if they have the scoop. Anyone who has a reselling business should by learn to be very careful when you have enquiries. Most interested parties are genuine. But malicious few people like these two, they spoil it for everyone.
Hermes Culture, the attack is personal. Screen capture all that is posted on PFA and get them to your police and attorney,

If Edina Chu did indeed post, what's her agenda? Did the 2 of them have a business thing going and things fell apart? Weeding out competion?
I hate to see resellers have a go at each other. Fishy business. If Im going to part with thousands of dollars, the reseller better have a stellar record.

You are one of the supporters of TPFAE who go out of their way to incorrectly attribute ANYTHING and EVERYTHING posted in this blog to MT and DL.....and then prefer to stand straight and admit nothing, rather than fall on your sword and simply apologise for making an error (I am being overly nice saying it was an error btw).
This is not the first time I have been named as MT or DL. Probably closer to the third, fourth or fifth time now.
The blog owner knows my IP addresses (yes multiple), and knows they are from a country far removed from the USA, Canada or Spain, yet has never seen fit to correct my misnaming by posters in this blog.
Why would that be so? To protect the innocent? More likely to make MT and DL look evil in the minds of the flock.
Kind of sounds like the supporters, and blog owner of this blog have the same approach to others as they claim MT and DL have to them.
My mind is made up, and my support now lies firmly in the other camp.
The only exception is Curly, Larry and Moe who has at least the decency to call a Spade a Spade with conviction and more than a semblance of integrity.

"When you don't have to impress because you know what you've got, then you don't run around SCREAMING look at what I have! You don't need to. It's those that have next to nothing that need to shine the spotlight & gloat about how much they just purchased. "
Of course we have Donna to do that with her meager collection of Hermes. Are you writing about the gloating "duchess of crap" on her co-owned blog with MT. After all, MT lied about it being his blog so more then likely the "betch" did as well!

No one can make them "look evil"" they are. Read their nasty blog where they made fun of strangers. I don't understand for what purpose. Is it because these individuals had poor judgement and joined that blog, TPF? Well so did MT and duchess and they were banned by breaking the rules of TPF. I don't care about TPF, left there a long time ago. Donna posted every Hermes item she purchased. There seems to be a double standard. MT and duchess are permitted to do whatever they desire but others don't have that privilege according to PFA.
They are getting back what they dished out and don't like it. Tough!!!!!!

I think this is where you are wrong. I think they LOVE it. Every time you write about MT on this blog you increase his Google search ranking and there is also no doubt you are driving book sales for him. And as you say here, that is all he cares about, "hawking his book".

Mia clearly has a charmed life. It's her good fortune. Just because you can't live her life and you want to talk trash about hers? Maybe if you start cultivating a heart of kindness now, you can perhaps reach a fraction of her good life. Sour grapes.
Not everyone or every country is affected by the recession. Live with it. Reflect on your own life and your ways - it's not perfect due to your own doings. Go and repent. That may help, although I think it's too much debt you've accumulated.
