Countess Galina / Galina McLaughlin/ Galia Balylko Scammer, Ripoff and Thief Longmont Colorado
To all of those that have been ripped off or scammed by this person...I can feel for you. I was actually dating this "women" for a bit. During that time she kept whining about how hard it was for her at the time because she was not getting any sales. So being the type of person I am, I offered to help her by making her a LOAN of $600.00 until one of her sculpture customers returned from a trip and could send her a check for the work. Which by the way in this instance, she did do. The loan was to be paid back to me in two installments, per my wishes,($300.00 ea) so that she was not leaving herself short before collecting for another piece of work. Well she got paid, but when I saw her that weekend she made no mention of repaying any of the LOAN, but she did get upset that I even made mention of it to her. Sound familiar? What followed was a couple of "nasty" e-mails making excuses and trying to "put me down" for even mentioning it. Sound familiar? By the way I have kept all correspondence that we ever had, so I can document this claim against any "rebuttal".
I have had no further contact with her and really do not wish to. But for all the others that have been taken by her, I offer this up in hopes that it will in some way help or prevent this from happening to others. I mean if she would do this to someone that she claimed to be "crazy" about, what chance do you have.Oh and for all those that have been taken, I offer these two words....."Mail Fraud".

I know nothing about Thomas, but it is interesting in how I have been called a jobless, drug-addicted loser by this woman. Hmmm. I was working at two professional jobs in the advanced-technology sector at that time, drug-free (never having any history of any drug addiction), and the loser part?-- well, in her mind --- anyone that does not subscribe to her viewpoint is classified as a loser.
That includes the friends she pushed over the cliff's edge when they had the "audacity" to cry foul over her treatment of them.
It is interesting that she would use my last name for years afterward, the last name of a Loser <wink>
Sigh....accountability for one's own actions-- seems to be an impossible thing for some to swallow and digest.
anyway-- this is the last energy I want to expel over the whole thing.

Pathetic bitter exes

FYI to all who read the reports from "Michael McLaughlin" and "Thomas"---BOTH of these men are ex-personal relationships and have NO connection with my business dealings whatsoever....they are disgruntled and bitter people who were TOSSED OUT OF MY LIFE for good reason, and both are now liable legally for publicly posting slander against me. Anyone who wishes to know the full stories of my thankfully short dealings with these loser, jobless, drug-addicted men can contact me personally. THEY are the reason I lost all of my own financial security and the reason I could not continue doing business otherwise.
I intend to pursue legal action against both of these people for posting public slander against me since that is now a viable legal issue, as well as publishing personal info of mine which is UNLAWFUL. Thomas and Michael, you will hear from my lawyer shortly, and it's obvious to anyone who reads this that you are truly pathetic males if you have to go to these lengths (Even 10 years later? For shame...) to try to hurt me.

My last name is McLaughlin, and yes, I was married to Gail Bazylko (her real name)/Galina 10 years ago for a little over a year-- before she milked me dry emotionally and finanacially (She retained my last name-- which was for years a source of much frustration).
She lives in an imaginary world and is very quick to find fault with anyone that does not subscribe with her viewpoint. And spew venom in the process.
Whereas, I did have a lot of respect for her natural talent, the dysfunctional personality caused me to "get out while the getting was good" and I can only give the advice that I would never do business with someone that had only a P.O. Box address and no phone number that could be confirmed before placing an order and/or sending monies.
This is not a "sour grapes" posting, for I forgave her years ago and moved on with my life. I WAS rather shocked to come across this site and the sheer number of fraud claims against her.
It is sad, for as I stated, she is a very talented artist. Just not one for any other than the extremely cautious -- to do business with, it would seem.
