Mike Iannarelli Reports & Reviews (73)

Mike Iannarelli claims to be best friends with the actor Stephen Dorff and to live with him. He stole the facebook fan group from the founder, because Mike was really convincing in telling the "truth". He once asked the fans for money if they want an autograph from Stephen. I never found out if anyone sent him money or if they ever received anything. After getting suspicious, because he only posted pics you can find on the internet I asked what this is all about. He got very mean and shortly after he kicked me out of the group and blocked me. He also left the fan group and created a new one (but hopefully this got already deleted, because I reached out to one of Stephen´s real friend). Be careful, this guy is a scam. Mike, if you will ever read this: get your life together, man up and stop pretending to be someone you are not!

Okay I will pm you on here. It may not work but at this point we have nothing to lose.

Useful

I think you should Zigzag, will you be willing to share those members names with me as I remember some also. Maybe we can both contact them and inform them of the proof and the truth? PM me on here?

Useful

I was found out and deleted too after my first comment here! He is definitely watching this post! I have the names of some members he seemed close to. I have thought about messaging them and telling them the truth about him. I don't know if they would believe me though.

Useful

Looks like I’ve been found out! He’s deleted me? Watching are you mike? What’s your deal? Why don’t name and shame me?!

Useful

Cupcakes - I do think it’s getting out of hand. I don’t know who to trust either because I’m convinced he has at least 3 profiles that he’s running within the group.

Useful

I’d posted this comment further down
Yes this group is still active as I am a member of it. I’ve been suspicious from the beginning from the very first group. I’m growing increasingly concerned of its recent content and I don’t know who to trust or to turn to in this matter?
Zigzag I’m in the group also, do you not think it’s getting out of hand?

I sent him money for one of those autographs and I never got anything. First I thought it was taking a while because of all the covid stuff having places shut down. But then he closed out that group and started the new one and it was never mentioned again. I've been suspicious of him every since. The new group is still there, I'm a member. With the group being hidden noone can find it if you're not in it. There is a lot that he posts that have raised red flags for me. At first I thought he might be legit but once he scammed me out of the money for the autograph and since I've seen some of the questionable things he's posted since then, I think he's scamming everyone.

He doesn’t just pretend to be “friends” with Stephen Dorff, he actually goes as far as to insinuate they’re in some sort of gay “relationship” Without just coming out and saying it ! He claims to have lived with Stephen for years! The first group was dismantled because the original admin caught on to his lies. He had and still has a lot of people fooled! He even had Members of Stephens own family believing him for awhile until they figured him out. Then he banned and blocked them from the page. I believe this new group he formed is still up and running but he made it invisible and impossible to find! Wonder why! None of Stephen’s family or real friends are allowed to join. If you paid attention in the first group, which I was a member of from the beginning, he went from saying he had never met Stephen but knew his brother when he lived in Tennessee (also a lie) to his story slowly changing to them being friends their whole lives, to them living together, etc. He never posted pictures of them together, just vague shots he got off the internet of Stephen posing with random faceless people in the background that he would claim were him! It really wasn’t hard to figure out at all that it was all a bunch of bull! Stephen himself is aware as is Stephens family and friends. If the new group is still up, it’s hidden so no one can report it, unless a current member wisens up and sees these scam reports! But it doesn’t seem to do any good bc he just bans and blocks anyone who calls him out or asks too many questions! The most we can do is put him on blast everywhere else and hope he owns up to his deception. Don’t see that happening though! I just feel bad for the fans that actually believe this quack!

@Lzdt Mike you are a liar. And I never wrote something like that, what you just said. Stop being such a silly person XD

Useful

Not Mike sorry. Can't speak for anything else on here, only to this nonsense which me and several others know isn't true. Sorry LR 2009

Useful

Who thinks "lzdt" is Mike?

Useful

Not true Bini Lube. I was in that group, and a few members saw what you did. I even saw you post where you wanted to go and find Stephen in Malibu. When you were called a stalker, which from what I witnessed you came off being, you got mad, so don't lie about this and make this stuff up, too many people witnessed some of the things you said and did.

Useful

Same thing happened to me. I answered his ad of putting all the years he had of GL on two separate hard drives. I sent him $150 via PayPal and he strung me along for over two months.Once I asked for a refund he replied to my message that he dropped them at the post office. He then promptly deleted me from his Facebook group and blocked me on messenger. It was already too late to file a claim. This was also after he bombarded the fb group to raise $600 for a new computer. I also sent him $40 for that. In total he owes me close to $200.

Initial means of contact Not applicable

He did the same with me. Then once he got the money a snowstorm hit and then he broke his leg. He also set up a GoFundMe for his aunt who was getting kicked out of her house. Didn't make anything off it though. He's pathetic. Get a job. Are we supposed to believe that even if Stephen Dorff WAS gay that he'd be slumming it with a pasty a[censored] loafer like Mike? Please. When I'm bored I use his email to get on Trump email lists. Those b[censored] spam. And he deserves it.

In January 2019 I send him money via Paypal for Friends because he promised me a DVD full of Guiding Light episodes. In May 19 I asked when he sent the DVDs, because I had nothing reached yet. No replies anymore from him. No DVDs either, now over a year later still nothing

In July of 2016 I had been following Mike's Youtube channel and facebook page when he began to offer making discs of old "Guiding Light" episodes. I reached out to him and messaged I could not afford to pay much but there were certain episodes I would like. We came to agreement I could pay $30 for what I wanted and so it was sent. As the weeks and eventual months went by, I would message him and ask for an ETA on when the discs would be delivered. Each time I was given a different excuse ( his mother was ill, he was ill, he had been busy etc.) , I initially tried to be very understanding but as it reached November of that year and he made promises to me and those on his GL facebook page that he would be sending out the discs very shortly and nothing happened, I grew suspicious. Since Paypal has a limited amount of time to raise a claim about getting a refund or getting what you ordered and it was coming up on that expiration point for me. I chose to open a dispute with Mike explaining that I just wanted what I ordered. His reply to me "You need to close that Paypal claim before I send you anything...Not the way to go about it with me!" He then proceeded to grow increasingly threatening and belligerent with me while speaking with me on PayPal,refusing to do anything until I closed the Paypal claim. At this point, I chose to escalate the claim and cut off contact with Mike, including blocking him on Facebook. My money was refunded but shortly after, he sent me a lengthy email claiming he had spoke with a Guiding Light actor who thought I was in the wrong and that he would be telling everyone that I was to blame for not continuing to post Guiding Light episodes on Youtube.

Amanda, it's been 4 years for me and I'm still pissed! So glad youtube figured him out, but I miss the uploads!

Useful

Glad you at least got to report him and got your money back. I was not as fortunate. It’s been months and I’m still pissed.

I sent Mike Iannarelli $50.00 in 2016 for a disk of some episodes of the show Guiding Light. He never sent them and strung me along for over a year with excuses. Not an honest guy and so mean about it when I asked for a refund. Told me to get a life, it was only 50 bucks and he was tired of dealing with me.

Mike Iannarelli is pulling a catfish scam on facebook And probably elsewhere. He has a secret group set up, he is admin, for fans of actor Stephen Dorff. He is pretending he is a friend of the actor’s & his roommate. He has also Set up a secret fake profile Pretending to actually be Stephen Dorff, the actor. The profile is Stephen Hartley.

I have not been harmed exactly but he has kicked me out of the group & blocked me. I guess my questions scared him.

Same experience. I found it so suspicious that Stephen Dorff suddenly became so present in social media and professing love for Mike so openly... I made a comment on the “exclusive” fan page too. Mike and “Stephen” ripped into me and then poof I was banned. That just validated my suspicions. So ridiculous and creepy!

Useful

Is his new group still around? I tried to get it closed but he blocked me everywhere.

In September of 2019 I answered an ad off of his YouTube channel for a Labor Day "special" offer. $150 for a hard drive of Guiding Light episodes spanning from 1984 (or close to it)-1997. I didn't have alot of extra money at the time, so he acted super nice, letting me split up the cost into 2 payments. I gave the second $75 paynent in early October. About a month later I emailed him asking where the hard drive was, and he told me he had ordered it online and it takes a while to download everything. Ok. So I emailed agian in December, then he told me he was so sorry but his computer "broke down". But he said he was almost finshed. Then in January I emailed agian, stating that if it wasn't sent soon I wanted my money back.
From that point on he has never replied to any of my emails.

On August 2019 I answered an ad posted on a Guiding Light Facebook group about the purchase of a copy of the administrator's private collection. I gave this man 200 dollars through an Amazon gift card but I never got anything. He banned me from the group and then blocked me on Facebook

The seller was advertising that he was selling external hard drives containing episodes of the soap opera Guiding Light. Each hard drive would cost $200. He would be able to fit all episodes in his collection on 2 hard drives. I paid him through PayPal in which he asked that I select the send money to a friend option, so he didn't get fees taken out on his end. He orders the drive once he received payment. When it arrives, he would load it up with what you want, and send it out to you. The seller stopped communication and I never received the hard drives.
