Hi,

I'm a recording artist. Michael Louis Brittingham approached me onmyspace in april 09, and invited me onto "A Closed Circle", his socialnetwork. Soon after, he made me an offer of half a million dollars ofinvestment into the label I was setting up at the time.

As we chatted, he also offered me an artist management contract, to become my label CEO, and a merger with an LA based label.

It soon emerged that he did not have the money at all, and although heclaimed to be coming to London to close an $80 million deal with amajor UK bank, he began to ask me if my label had money available tofly him to London, and for "an office and modest living quarters" andto "pay minimum living expenses" "until we get a substantial budgetinput, and/or I close my deal and invest from my end".

This seemed an extremely strange request from a man who describeshimself as being a successful and wealthy entrepreneur, and many otherthings including "THE Music Producer" (seewww.myspace.com/michaelbrittingham, and his other self moderatedsites), and who was proposing to bring half a million dollars to myproject. I said no.

He then tried to go one step further by asking that a wealthy friend ofmine advance him $250'000 to put into the label, that he would repay atthe closing of his next "big deal".

At that point I sent him a polite email to ask him to be in touch whenthe money was on the table, and that all matters concerning the labelwere out of his hands till then. I was still willing to be courteousand give him the benefit of the doubt, although a mail asking him if hethought I was a complete idiot, and to never to be in touch again wouldhave been a more accurate reflection of my feelings.

I have not heard from him since.

A more complete explanation and links can be found atwww.clientmichaelbrittingham. Wordpress.com, which was posted followingcontact with people financially defrauded by Mr Brittingham, in orderto help other people be aware of this person, and ask him for someanswers.

Although I did not part with any money (or succumb to his persistent"romantic/sensual advances"), others have, and I wish to share what wasattempted with me, in order to help keep others, maybe more vulnerablethan me, safe. I have filed a report with the UK Metropolitan Policehere in London.

Artists have a tough enough time without people like this wasting our time, energy and money.

Everything I post here is fully verifiable, I have all thecorrespondence, and the blog contains only allegations which we canalready prove.

On his claims to be a music producer, I have been in the business 11years and work with some of the biggest people in the industry. None ofus have ever heard of him, nor can we find any band or artist who cancredit Mr Brittingham for their success. Please come forward if you oweyour musical success to him, as I am willing to rethink my opinion if Iam mistaken.

I hope this is useful...
