Vincent Mazzotta Vincent Midnight Business scam/preys on women Scottsdale, Arizona
This guy is a sociopath and a pathological liar. He spent a fair amount of time convincing me of all these business endeavors he was involved in and said he could help me get my foot in the door in the entertainment industry. He said he was the manager of the band that was playing at the bar we were at, the owner of a few different magazines including "Runway" and "catwalk" as well as professing to have degrees in three different areas including sociology and bio-engineering. He also said he used to be the lead singer for a fairly well-known metal band. He claimed he could feature my artwork in his magazine, all the while trying to entice me to leave with him to an "after party with the band". This after party vanished when he thought he could get me to leave alone with him. Thank god my friends made sure I left with them (I'd had a few drinks and was fairly unaware of the danger of the situation). Vincent disappeared real quick when he realized I wouldn't be leaving with him. He handed out his business card to myself and a friend.
He gave his business name as Vincent Mazzotta and his personal name as Vincent Midnight. When I returned home I looked up his information, his name popped up on a few scam sites. The websites for his "business endeavors" were poorly crafted and all the links that would have verified its authenticity were broken. If you look at any photo of this guy on the net he is very obviously a creep! (I blame beer goggles) I am so grateful I narrowly avoided this situation, and hope that no one else falls victim to his manipulations. The only way I can think of to help is by spreading the information.

James Buccelli – The Runway Magazine scam uncovered
#3General Comment
Sat, January 25, 2014
I was going to apply to this publication then I did my research. James Buccelli , yes he is the CEO of Runway Magazine Inc, but the actual magazine Runway is not run by James Buccelli or Runway Magazine, Inc. James has nothing to do with Runway – the actual printed magazine or Runway TV or the devils wears Prada. In fact the is no reported income on this company ever. It doesn’t seem to do anything, or at least that’s what the IRS is lead to believe.
In the real world it’s an Arizona corporation and his name is not on it. After reading all the reports on Runway Magazine from Rip-off-report you can see many patterns of misinformation, how can a person be gay and beat there wife, in fact all the reports seem to look as a 4 year old bully wrote them and for some reason Rip-off report published this make extremely confusing for anyone to see anything but nonsense. So if your are reading here you obviously know there is a good chance it’s a fake report that only helps the writer. So…
Here is the proof and anyone can replicate this, I welcome and would hope everyone reading this will follow these steps.
I went to Barns and Noble each season and collected the magazine RUNWAY. He is not listed in the magazine.
I asked 4 different barns and noble staff members if they carried another magazine called Runway, they don’t.
I ran a background check for $35 on the internet, all the criminal reports that are listed on the net are James and only James even when he claims they are other people. He committed identity theft, he beat his wife, he committed car theft.
There is no other parties involved and all the criminal codes in the posts from rip off reports are all from California once again debunking the rip off reports right on this website. Lots of clear fake information. A slander war.
I looked at the runwaymagazine facebook, what a joke that was. There was a supposable 140k likes and the post had 9 to 20 likes, that just impossible. Nice buying likes there James. Almost had me there.
Call Fox entertainment – “The Devil Wears Prada” was not written about a real magazine RUNWAY – it was an oversight, fox ran the check pre RUNWAY newsstand in 2002 the printed Runway has been handled by Barns and noble since 2006 so looks like Runway beat Fox by about a month . James Buccelli claims its about his company, any idiot knows it’s about Ana Wintours the editor in chief of Vogue, an portrayed as a monster in the movie.
Why would a real CEO post that? I could find any place where the AZ company claimed they had anything to do with that move except there trademarks was accidentally used.
When you apply to Runway be careful, make sure you are applying with Runway the AZ corporation, it’s called Runway Beauty, inc, it dba is Runway Media Group . And the real runway can be found almost everywhere at just /runway
Heads up if you actually want to get published or paid. Remember verify everything yourself, it’s easy to spot lies if you just do a little homework.

Brionna Chelgren claimed to be an artist to the Editor in Chief of a well know fashion magazine. To her own admission she was drunk in public. She did absolutely no research and her art is terrible. Any idiot can type in Runway into a search engine and find out who the editor is. Brionna Chelgren is now being sued by Runway. He statements are false and absurd. Why would the editor in chief of a magazine claim to be the manager of a band. These statements are clear lies. Obviosuly she doesn't remember what happened that night and Brionna the cameras at that club clearly show you leaving with him. Not everyone can be published for their work. Brionna Chelgren get over yourself. If you are such a great artist why are you working a Quiznos Sub. Hopefully they get some sense and fire you before you embarrasses the company in the national press.
