Mike Mathia is THE most evil, selfish, pervasive, manipulative, impulsive liar and cheat that I ever had the misfortune of meeting. From his dealings with his so called "businesses", to his personal life, to his daily search of new con's regardless of laws, Mike Mathia never lets one minute pass by which is not manipulated and distorted into his own personal use.

Hypertech Computers: Owner *it's him workin in his basement.

He charges customers for new parts then puts the new parts in his computer and takes his old parts and puts them in the customers' computer.

Photography: Mike Mathia sleeps with most of his models. Its a cheap ruse to get them in bed. He is NOT a professional, he just has a "fancy" camera, which cost him NOTHING and takes 'nothing' to operate.

Age of his victims does not matter and actual proof can be found on his website gallery. There is a 16yr old nude in his apartment ON HIS SITE. He is a pervert, and enjoys nasty nasty pornography and pornography sites which he aids in running. He also posts photographs of people without their written permission.

Mike Mathia hasn't paid taxes in years and has made tens of thousands under the table without paying the IRS. He also owes thousands upon thousands of dollars in ripoffs *TO HIS FRIENDS and XGIRLFRIENDS and BUSINESSES inluding identity theft, fraudulent behavior,misrepresentation, and stolen merchandise or software. He also says he is responsible for TMOBILE 's network blackout several years ago and his hacker name is EAGLE EYE. He is involved in illegal dealings online through his hacking abilities.

His website is nothing but lies and misrepresentation. Of the hundreds of women he has TORTURED and hurt and abused, I'd like to say that he is the biggest A-HOLE this side of the planet.

If you would like more information and proof, check out his website at michaelbrianphotography.com and keep in mind that every word out of his mouth is a LIE.

I'm pretty happy with what I have posted

AUTHOR: Someone - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, May 30, 2006

I'm pretty happy with what I have posted, thank you Kara. If I can recall, there's a picture of you half-naked in my shower on Mikes' site as well-- A picture taken by Mr. Mathia while I was in the other room, sick as hell and totally unawares.As a matter of fact, the next day, Mike told me you were moving into the complex and that we were breaking up. So please do not pander and extrapolate things. I have a right to post a ripoff report, and so I did. If you don't like it, I don't care.

I look at it merely as a Personal Credit Report-- for NO ONE should be allowed to live as he has, off the backs of others, and go through life with a clean slate. If you are not seeing this behavior then I am assuming that he climbed high enough on OUR backs, to get where he is today. Or merely that he is a good deceiver. Either way, I hope you enjoy the blood money. And thank you for the comment, your opinion means nothing to me.

As for Mr. Mathia's posting, I'd say it's a good read at best.That is, if you have ten hours of free time. I didn't. But I get the jist of it. The mere fact that you took soooooooo much time out of your "Busy and Prosperous" life,to write a 25 paragraph essay about yourself merely proves that there definitely IS something to be defensive about and that you are a pretty self-centered individual. An innocent man--when accused of wrongdoing--need not say a thing, forthat evil he is accused of, is incomprehensible. You know what you did. You know how you did it. You know your guilt.Now live with the consequences.And thank you for the comment, it proved more than you know.

Glad you can add and put 2 and 2 together, Mike. Maybe you might check out my new posting on myspace. Kara too, if you're up to it my dear.

I didn't post this to get into a brawl with you, I put it up for the people to read. However, when you think of it, how many people of importance really are going to see this report? Not many. Just a few "backs". So I highly doubt that you see me in any way as a danger to you. I think you just like drama. Drama of any form. Drop a line, and here you come runnin. Well I won't indulge your sick fantastical interpretation of reality anymore. Unlike you, I had a purpose with this.


I posted this for reference that others may (and have) replied to, regarding you. I'm now leaving this testament to be self-sufficient. Write more, go ahead. I'll never read it. Have more of your sad, sad 'posse' attest that you're a good guy, Go ahead. Smart individuals will never believe it. Not everyone in this world is hated, and rats prove that even the lowliest of creatures are in good company.

I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU MIKE MATHIA.

As my one postee said, What's done is done-- it's out there, it's said, people will read it ...and I'm quite happy with that.

How Lame do you have to be?

AUTHOR: Mike - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, May 25, 2006

The person that submitted this report on me and my businesses is my ex girlfriend Melissa. I met her in Wichita, KS as she was from Augusta, KS when I met her (she's originally from Colorado Springs), on a whim, moved out to Denver with her around January of 2005. You can look her name up in MySpace and find more information on her. I was able to look up her information by the email address she submitted with her first post here, and since it was an Yahoo address, it wasn't hard to find. This, by the way, doesn't make me a hacker last time I checked.

When I moved out to Denver with her in 2005, I had no job, and no money, no car, and no driver's license, as it was suspended from traffic violations in the past. I had just finished paying my dues to society on that, and was ready for a fresh start. So I moved in with her out there, got a job as quick as I could, got a license, and we shared her car for a while to get to work and other places. Later on, I tried to acquire my own vehicle, but my bad credit history from not being able to pay my bills on time because I didn't have a job. She VOLUNTEERED to purchase this vehicle for me, and I would pay her the payments while I drove it. I thought that was nice of her, but in the back of my head, I knew that it would be held over my head, and sure enough, it was.

I held a job for some time, then found what I thought was a better opprotunity, tried it, and it turns out that was a scam, so once again, I was out of a job. I fell behind on a car payment or two at this point.

When I found job number three out there in Denver, I was catching up on things and things were going okay, so we decided to make a trip down to Rio Ranche, New Mexico where her parents lived (and she lives now) to visit family. Earlier in that year when her parents lived an hour away from Denver, I got to know them, and they seemed really nice people, so it was refreshing to get out of Denver.

Now that you have a little background, here's a little bit on why she submitted this.

Hypertech Computers. I am the co-owner of the business, not the owner, first and foremost. This business does have a legitimate tax ID, and it is a real business by all legal standards. Started in 1996, I did work out of my basement, then the business got too busy, so I tried to open my own office, but I found out the hard way back then, that having an office to work out of as well as paying employees to do the work costs too much money, and from the advertising that I did on the business, there was no need for the store front. So after that expensive mistake, I laid off my part time employees and moved it back into the basement of my residence. Then the driver's license issued happened. During that period, the other co-owner, Richard, ran things while I was gone, and when I returned, it was just down to him and I, but still a steady work load. Then I made the mistake of Denver. Then I came back. Now it's just Richard and I, once again, both A+ certified, and myself, also MCSE and Apple certified, technicians, working out of my basement. So yes, when it comes down to it, I do operate it out of my very decked out basement, to save costs to myself and pass those savings along for my customers. As far as the parts are concerned, yes, I put used parts in when the customer wants used parts (to save money) in their computer, and otherwise, when they request new parts, they get new parts. I have a Mac. Anyone that knows anything about computers, know that if you have a Mac, you can't use PC parts in them most of the time, so this accusation is stupid and totally false.

Michael Brian Photography International, formerly Mike Mathia Modeling and Images, is a legitimate business, and it's totally insane to say otherwise. Melissa knows that my business and passion for photography mean a lot to me, so she makes these accusations to try and degrade my reputation so that I won't be able to get modeling work. What she doesn't know is that I am now (not then) very well known in the modeling community, and posting something like this will not phase anything.

Yes, I have a fancy camera. As a matter of fact, I have several now. Note that I pawned one off while I was in Denver to make a car payment for the car that was under her name. I went to Wichita to visit friends and family, and came back to her having stolen everything out of the apartment, some hers, some mine. She then had a group of people take the car out from under me, while I had the money on me (to make the payment), so that I would lose my job as well as my way to get there. The reason for her doing this is because I had found someone that I liked, so her justification was a lovers' quarrel. Seems a little extreme for a lovers' quarrel to me. Anyways, back to the point.

Yes, I Have a fancy set of cameras, I also have a decent laptop now, a nice Mac desktop, and a studio once again in Wichita, and a soon to be second location here soon. The girl is psycho, so I will not reveal that location here and now.

All of the above mentioned equipment costed me nothing? What about my studio in Wichita? The rent for that cost me nothing too? Wow. I should really look into that kind of deal. Sadly, this is not true. This equipment is not cheap, by any means.

I have no victims in anything that I do. Yes, there are under age models on the site. Yes, they AND their guardians, all have signed consent forms and modeling releases. Yes they are available for public view, call me and I will email it to you if you wish. No, there's nobody on my site posing in my apartment, with the exception of a few photos of my girlfriend Cara, which by the way, is well above legal age, and her, along with every other model I have shot, has done everything voluntarily, and was not forced to do anything, period. Melissa's motivation for this is that she was extremely jealous about my shooting of other girls while she was with me. I did this before I met her, I did this while I was with her, and I still do it today, in a very professional enviroment.

Feel free to contact me personally, as my phone number is on here, and I will discuss with you exactly how psycho this Melissa girl is. It's truly amazing that someone can be that much off the deep end like this. Can't say I didn't warn you.

Yes, I didn't pay taxes in 2001-2004. Yes I was broke, as I didn't have a Driver's License because when I was younger I was a stupid kid. Once I reaquired my license in 2005, and after all of the BS that happened to me thanks to Melissa while I was in Colorado, I recovered, and since then, have started paying my back taxes. I should have them paid off within the next year or so. The IRS is up to date on what is happening. Feel free to call me or them to verify this.

I sure would like to know where these tens of thousands of dollars are that I supposedly make under the table, I guess I would be able to keep up on my bills better. Gas is expensive on my truck.

Yes I have DJed at various locations for cash, and yes I haven't really reported it, due to it being very little money on the side. Everything else is reported, and can be verified as doing so.

I do owe a few friends some money, but they are friends, and they understand that I am going through some hard times right now, and they realize that they will be compensated.

I don't owe any of my ex-girlfriends anything. Period. There's a few that owe me in fact, but I don't care about any of that anymore. It's in the past. All one can do is live and learn.

Yes, I owe some businesses money. I have credit cards, and they have what is called a credit limit, and while I have not hit that limit yet, I still owe them money. She's right about that. I also have a loan on my truck, and yes I am paying on it, on time in fact, and so yes, I owe that business money. I don't owe any other businesses money, with the exception of utilities.

I never have commited anything close to identity fraud, or any other type of fraud. I have never stolen anything, from anyone (this coming from someone that took my stuff out of my residence in Denver), and while I haven't paid for ALL of my software, I have paid for the majority of it.

I haven't "hacked" anything or done anything to T-Mobile's, or anyone else's, network, for any reason, any time. This is just a rediculous accusation that has no substance at all to it. My MSN screen name is EagleEye, hence her reference to this. If talking on MSN is hacking, then call me guilty.

I have never tortured anyone or abused anyone a day in my life. I have prided myself in knowing that I go beyond the norm to help others in need, and I have plenty of people that know me, really truly know me, that are not psychotic, that can back me up on this. This is obvioiusly a personal vendetta to make me look like a*s, and it just shows to the public just how far she will go to try and get to me.

About the lies. I am a very blunt, up front, and honest person. This is truly the entire opposite of what or who I am. I actually put everyone else before myself, and the last thing I would ever do is put my personal agenda over someone else's. She thinks I used her in Denver for a place to stay, although I paid my fair share of the bills. And when her cousin that was staying with us got us kicked out due to him turning my home entertainment system up too loud, that she also stole from me, I was forced to get an apartment in the same complex under my name so that she would still have a place to live. So if that's me using her, then I guess she's right. I'll let you make the call.

About severing relationships. I have severed three in my life. My ex-fiance, this Melissa Flugstad, for obvious reasons, and one other person. Every single other person that I have met for more than 8 hours I have maintained contact with over the years, and some for decades now.

Please do check out the website, just like she said. Then verify the information, check into everything, I recommend that with all of my clients anyways, and also call verify things, no matter what you do in life. You will soon learn that everything here is total BS from a psycho girl that has it in for me because she's butthurt about my leaving her over a year ago. She obviously has nothing better to do then to dwell on her past and type things like this to try and make me look bad when in fact too many people know me, truly know me, and know otherwise. To her I say thanks for making me waste my time having to type this crap to save face. Haven't you wasted enough of my life already?

Sincerely,
Mike Mathia

So yes, when it comes down to it, I do operate it out of my very decked out basement, to save costs to myself and pass those savings along for my customers. As far as the parts are concerned, yes, I put used parts in when the customer wants used parts (to save money) in their computer, and otherwise, when they request new parts, they get new parts. I have a Mac. Anyone that knows anything about computers, know that if you have a Mac, you can't use PC parts in them most of the time, so this accusation is stupid and totally false.

Michael Brian Photography International, formerly Mike Mathia Modeling and Images, is a legitimate business, and it's totally insane to say otherwise. Melissa knows that my business and passion for photography mean a lot to me, so she makes these accusations to try and degrade my reputation so that I won't be able to get modeling work. What she doesn't know is that I am now (not then) very well known in the modeling community, and posting something like this will not phase anything.

Yes, I have a fancy camera. As a matter of fact, I have several now. Note that I pawned one off while I was in Denver to make a car payment for the car that was under her name. I went to Wichita to visit friends and family, and came back to her having stolen everything out of the apartment, some hers, some mine. She then had a group of people take the car out from under me, while I had the money on me (to make the payment), so that I would lose my job as well as my way to get there. The reason for her doing this is because I had found someone that I liked, so her justification was a lovers' quarrel. Seems a little extreme for a lovers' quarrel to me. Anyways, back to the point.

Yes, I Have a fancy set of cameras, I also have a decent laptop now, a nice Mac desktop, and a studio once again in Wichita, and a soon to be second location here soon. The girl is psycho, so I will not reveal that location here and now.

All of the above mentioned equipment costed me nothing? What about my studio in Wichita? The rent for that cost me nothing too? Wow. I should really look into that kind of deal. Sadly, this is not true. This equipment is not cheap, by any means.

I have no victims in anything that I do. Yes, there are under age models on the site. Yes, they AND their guardians, all have signed consent forms and modeling releases. Yes they are available for public view, call me and I will email it to you if you wish. No, there's nobody on my site posing in my apartment, with the exception of a few photos of my girlfriend Cara, which by the way, is well above legal age, and her, along with every other model I have shot, has done everything voluntarily, and was not forced to do anything, period. Melissa's motivation for this is that she was extremely jealous about my shooting of other girls while she was with me. I did this before I met her, I did this while I was with her, and I still do it today, in a very professional enviroment.

Feel free to contact me personally, as my phone number is on here, and I will discuss with you exactly how psycho this Melissa girl is. It's truly amazing that someone can be that much off the deep end like this. Can't say I didn't warn you.

Yes, I didn't pay taxes in 2001-2004. Yes I was broke, as I didn't have a Driver's License because when I was younger I was a stupid kid. Once I reaquired my license in 2005, and after all of the BS that happened to me thanks to Melissa while I was in Colorado, I recovered, and since then, have started paying my back taxes. I should have them paid off within the next year or so. The IRS is up to date on what is happening. Feel free to call me or them to verify this.

I sure would like to know where these tens of thousands of dollars are that I supposedly make under the table, I guess I would be able to keep up on my bills better. Gas is expensive on my truck.

Yes I have DJed at various locations for cash, and yes I haven't really reported it, due to it being very little money on the side. Everything else is reported, and can be verified as doing so.

I do owe a few friends some money, but they are friends, and they understand that I am going through some hard times right now, and they realize that they will be compensated.

I don't owe any of my ex-girlfriends anything. Period. There's a few that owe me in fact, but I don't care about any of that anymore. It's in the past. All one can do is live and learn.

Yes, I owe some businesses money. I have credit cards, and they have what is called a credit limit, and while I have not hit that limit yet, I still owe them money. She's right about that. I also have a loan on my truck, and yes I am paying on it, on time in fact, and so yes, I owe that business money. I don't owe any other businesses money, with the exception of utilities.

I never have commited anything close to identity fraud, or any other type of fraud. I have never stolen anything, from anyone (this coming from someone that took my stuff out of my residence in Denver), and while I haven't paid for ALL of my software, I have paid for the majority of it.

I haven't "hacked" anything or done anything to T-Mobile's, or anyone else's, network, for any reason, any time. This is just a rediculous accusation that has no substance at all to it. My MSN screen name is EagleEye, hence her reference to this. If talking on MSN is hacking, then call me guilty.

I have never tortured anyone or abused anyone a day in my life. I have prided myself in knowing that I go beyond the norm to help others in need, and I have plenty of people that know me, really truly know me, that are not psychotic, that can back me up on this. This is obvioiusly a personal vendetta to make me look like a*s, and it just shows to the public just how far she will go to try and get to me.

About the lies. I am a very blunt, up front, and honest person. This is truly the entire opposite of what or who I am. I actually put everyone else before myself, and the last thing I would ever do is put my personal agenda over someone else's. She thinks I used her in Denver for a place to stay, although I paid my fair share of the bills. And when her cousin that was staying with us got us kicked out due to him turning my home entertainment system up too loud, that she also stole from me, I was forced to get an apartment in the same complex under my name so that she would still have a place to live. So if that's me using her, then I guess she's right. I'll let you make the call.

About severing relationships. I have severed three in my life. My ex-fiance, this Melissa Flugstad, for obvious reasons, and one other person. Every single other person that I have met for more than 8 hours I have maintained contact with over the years, and some for decades now.

Please do check out the website, just like she said. Then verify the information, check into everything, I recommend that with all of my clients anyways, and also call verify things, no matter what you do in life. You will soon learn that everything here is total BS from a psycho girl that has it in for me because she's butthurt about my leaving her over a year ago. She obviously has nothing better to do then to dwell on her past and type things like this to try and make me look bad when in fact too many people know me, truly know me, and know otherwise. To her I say thanks for making me waste my time having to type this crap to save face. Haven't you wasted enough of my life already?

Sincerely,
Mike Mathia
