Ivana Ristova Warning
Ivana Ristova is an accomplished Macedonian musician and an excellent piano player. We wish Ms. Ristova great success with her music career. Nevertheless, this blog is about her tendency to embezzle funds from anyone she befriends. In our experience, she tends to quickly become friends with any person, develop friendship, and soon illegaly steal money in any shape or form. We warn, Ms. Ristova is extremely crafty in creating scenarios and developing trust with her victims. From our experience, she joins a circle of friends and quickly takes posession of money by promising to return them from her supposedly very well paid concerts or even teaching lessons. This blog is open for anyone to report mischief and/or bad experience involving money.

I called champaign police and there IS NOT a warrant for her arrest as you stated so that means that YOU are probably a scammer or she rejected you or something to that effect.
ReplyDeleteI dont know what kind of person does what you are doing but let me give you this advice:
1.) mind your own business
2.) dont loan ANYONE money unless its a trusted friend for YEARS or family. Protecting your own personal info is your responsiblity.
3.) doing what you are doing makes you look like a bitch, suck it up take it on the chin like a man if ivana wronged you in some way.
Wow man you really pulled that one out.
ReplyDeleteWe know who you are and these blogs and messages that you keep sending against her are not gonna help you and your sick mind .
Maybe Ivana should write a blog and write everything about you , that would be far more interesting
This Blog has been created by Ivana's EX "manager" , who didn't had enough trying to ruining her life during the time he was "working" with her , but now he is continuing to do that even when she is not working with him . You went too far boy . If she doesn't do something about this blog and about you , maybe some of her friends will .
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what will happen with you and with your low desperate moves against Ivana.
You should come to hear Ivana's performance on stage sometime ! You can try ruin her reputation but you can't take away her talent . Enjoy your life "Manager" and I hope you get what you deserve
Man...she steals choco chip cookies toooo!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteso watch out..dont let your choco cookies be unattended ;-)
when you come back...there might be a bite missing ....or they are even all gone lol :-) ^^

ReplyDeleteIvana has been a friend when no one else has been for me . She has helped me through situations no one else would've . Not only financially but every other way you can imagine .
ReplyDeleteIt is expected that in life you will have people that like you and people that don't like you. When you become a public figure than its even worse .. because those lists of people become even bigger . Thank you Ivana and I hope your heart never changes !

ReplyDeletedrugarka mi komentaro i go izbrisaa vo vesniko vecer ima 2-3 godini komentaro go bese izbrisale oti se poplakala za parite. ona ne moze da si zeme parite. ako ovaja dojde nazad nema deka da ode ke ja fanat.
ReplyDeleteI was really impressed when I saw this blog .
ReplyDeleteSo people really don't have a better thing to do and have way too much time to spend at home and think of how to be creative .
You would've been happy if you were half of what Ivana is ... If she really did a mistake , you never know what was going on in her life , but if you knew her better , you would wanna be like her at least for one day . BRAVO to the guy who did this blog . Everything comes back in life , thats a lesson that I learn .
I wish this comes back to you . As far as for Ivana , she has enough friends and supporters , that no matter how many blogs you open against her , she will always be better from you in everything . Oh ... and if she really "owes" you money , go ask her EX manager to pay you back , he is really good with money .
GET A LIFE :)
the voices in your defence on this blog, Ivana, reveal your nastiness more than we do. The people you cheated. People tend to trust the talented. Turns out talent has nothing to do with humanity or decency. You can be a master pianist and a snake. Brothers and sisters, listen to her music, but if she asks for money, no matter what the scenario, keep away. I pray that you ask google before you let this woman into your (financial) life.
ReplyDeleteShe also owes me a good sum of money. I wish she would stop doing this and once she plays a few concerts,that bring her some income, she returns the money to everyone.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the former manager has lost his golden goose , and now is actnng like an abandoned housewife that has no skills, no job , no future, and all that is left is hatred and pituful viciuus gosisip spreader .
ReplyDeleteFeel sorry for you man.
My condolancec.
I wish you to get a life ASAP.
all the best.
but gossip spreading is an criminal doing, and even internet criminals cannot escape the justice.

I recomend Ivana to start an ivestigation on this blog and sue owner's ass to the last dolar .
Wishing you all the luck so that you could also return to us what you owe. Iva could certainly use it. www.saveiva.org

ReplyDeleteFrom my own experience, I can only say that the previous comment is true. You will NEVER get paid. NEVER start any business with this woman and NEVER agree to play any concerts. Be careful.
ReplyDeleteIvana's recent endeavor, Monet MGM also began as scheme to defraud myself and the other Monet MGM employees. After months of working to launch her career in New York City, Ivana fabricated investors and funding, hiding the fact that the paychecks she distributed were knowingly without value. She took advantage of four recent college graduates and entered into several illegal business practices including using a false company name, communicating with people pretending to be her employee Mia Despotovka, and even separating her tainted name from the company--though she held the position of the owner of the company. To my knowledge, she still owes employees and others to whom bad checks were issued; including two photographers, a church, and her former employees. DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH HER! She is a devious person who will take advantage of even the most innocent of people.
ReplyDeleteI would like to add my warning to everyone even considering getting involved with this person in anyway.

ReplyDeleteThe new project of "co-founder" Ivana Ristova (seen on her facebook profile info), launching in a week while still owing musicians money for concerts played back in 2010.
ivana dear, you need to learn english before posing as all these americans. it's obvious you're lacking for real friends, and your con game is laughable. if bernie madoff went down, so will you.
ReplyDeleteIvana's only true defense is herself (posting as other people) or the people she is currently scamming. I, at one time, defended her against all of the other people who were calling her a liar, thief and crook - while I was defending her, she was stealing money from me (stole over $5 thousand dollars!) and lying to me about nearly any and everything in her life. I got involved with her as both a friend and a colleague, and she damaged my professional life by being associated with her. Being conned out of the money - especially when I didn't have any and it sent me into a horrible financial struggle - was bad, but the fact that I was deceived so greatly by someone who I thought was my friend was the worst. She is dishonest to the very core - I have a psychology background (which makes it even more embarrassing that I fell for her act!) but I can say with certainty that she is a clinical sociopath. She does not care about anyone but herself, and she puts on a very believable act pretending to care about you and other people. Most of her woes and crying is fake, in order to get people to feel compassionate about her. She plays on people's compassion and guilt - I have met over a dozen people whom she has scammed personally, professionally and financially, and ALL of the are some of the nicest and smartest people I have ever met. This goes to show that she preys on people who are compassionate and nice people, and that she is VERY good at what she does in order to pull this over on such intelligent and successful people; a dentist, doctor, internationally acclaimed violinist, owner of a large company, international bank owner, the list goes on and on. I say this not because I am a vindictive person - anyone who knows me personally knows that I am one of the most sincere and kindhearted people - but because it's true ... Ivana needs to be in jail for a very, very long time for all of the crimes she has committed in this country. What has never made sense to me is why Ivana is STILL in the United States, and why she has never returned home knowing so many people whom she has stole from are committed to making sure justice prevails and that she pay for her crimes. My only assumption is that she has done this or far worse in Macedonia, and let's be honest; in Macedonia the people she scammed may not be so nice, so my assumption is that she is afraid to be killed by the people she has scammed there. No matter how much time has passed, I will not give up on making sure that Ivana stops her scamming, that she doesn't continue to do it to more people, and that she pays for her actions/crimes and that justice prevails.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing - I knew her back in Chicago, and I have been very curious as to what she has been up to since she moved to New York. I see on this blog that there are people she scammed in New York - can anyone who knew/knows her or that she scammed in New York post more info on here and explain what she has done there? I am still working with the DA in Illinois - it's an open case - but because she moved to New York I haven't had more to talk to him about. He may be inclined in working with someone in New York city to continue the case if I can give him more information. Please post on here or email me at BriSmith1981@gmail.com - thanks!
ReplyDeleteOne last thing - can whoever owns this blog (I believe you and I have already met once back in 2009 in Chicago) post something on the main page of this blog about posting more information or emailing me BriSmith1981@gmail.com about what she has been doing / scams she has pulled, etc. in New York the last two years so that I can get in contact with people whom she has victimized in New York - I still have an open case with the DA in Illinois, and he might be willing to transfer information over to a State's Attorney or DA in New York, but I need to get in contact with people whom she has scammed in NY. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteEverything "bad" about Ivana here is true. All the good comments about her is obviously Ivana herself, and you can tell because of her writing style. If you had contact with Ivana before, you will recognize it.
ReplyDeleteI myself am a victim of her scam. If you are a musician and ever get a concert from her, DO NOT TAKE IT. In fact, don't even befriend her, because she will take advantage of you.
I don't have psychology background like Brianna (above), but it's so obvious that she's a sociopath and a pathological liar. She has absolutely no shame and she will do everything she can to screw you over. Be careful, people!
If you are a victim of her scams, or if you need to know more about her, email me with any questions or concerns at: ivanaristovaowesmemoney@gmail.com
Good luck.

ReplyDeleteI just found this posting. I am a pianist from NYC. This girl Ivana, it is all true. She now goes by the name Ivana Kovach. She was going by the name Ivana Simmone or Simonne but now I see she changed to Ivana Kovach. Just that she changes her name always tell you something. She owes me money, she has lied to me. My advice is to not become friends or to loan her money or to be involved with her as a musicians for concerts or nothing like this.
