Title: Christopher Philip Houg Felony Fraud charges filed
Post by: dfan on July 27, 2009, 02:27:26 AM
Attention DodgeCharger.com members ! Dfan/ J.Winton filed fraud charges with Converse County Sherriff,Clark Co of NV. Sherriff Dept.,and Riverside Co. Calif. Sherriff Dept. against Chris Houg for taking Dfans 1970 Daytona replica in clear title trade for 09 R/T challenger. This letter is to warn other members--if the moderators permit it to run--about F6daytonas dealings. Chris Houg is a liar & a crook--this is not an opinion -- IT IS A FACT. Because the wheels of justice move soooo slow I decided to warn Charger.com members before they were robbed like I was. Chris makes his living wheeling and dealing in Dodge parts and cars---he is not afraid of law inforcement yet--but he hit the big time now. I'm sure he has had crooked dealings with other members and because the amount was small they probably let it go to save themselves the embarrassment of admitting to being taken by Chris. Until this case has gone through the legal channels--I would like to keep other DODGE owners from being robbed and make it harder for Chris to make his illegal gains profitable!  :RantExplode: :RantExplode:

Hmmm    F6Daytona seems to pop up in more than one of these threads if memory serves me correctly

I would like to know more about exactly what happened -   I know the mods have final say and I hate threads like this one (bashing another member) but it just seems if this man's name keeps getting brought up there might be grounds for it ?     

Maybe I just like the drama but I at least like to hear both sides of a story or at least see proof of an argument (court papers, filed claims, etc) --- makes the case seem more legitament. I know you stated the process is slow and i do not expect these documents to be available at this time - however, i feel it is too easy no-a-days to smears some one's name on rumor.

Hi Rolling Thunder, Chris called me to buy my Daytona--He said he had a R/T challenger to trade--It is not in his name,he said it had the 5.7 hemi--he put the hemi engine cover over a 3.5 v6---he said he owed 5000 dollars through chrysler finance---he owes over 25000 and its through JP MORGON CHASE-- does an of this sound like he accidently didn't understand what he was doing?

To photo all the paperwork would take forever--but if you think I'm just slandering call 1-760-836-3215 and ask for SGT. Baur and ask if there is an on going investigation. Chris conned a fellow member into going with him to deliver the challenger and pick up the Daytona---does this look like I"m kidding?

Post by: Tilar on July 27, 2009, 03:51:51 AM
Let me get this straight, Someone actually traded a Daytona for a new challenger, Gave up clear paperwork on the Daytona without getting clear paperwork on the Challenger?  And did anyone actually drive this V6 powered car and think it was as strong as a 5.7 hemi should be?  Is this right? Don't get me wrong, It definitely sounds fraudulent but it also sounds like someone didn't do any homework.... None.

Let me get this straight---when someone commits a crime its ok as long as they get away with it? Purposely lying and misleading someone is ok with you? The reason I wrote this is  to let other innocent members ---do their homework so that a crooks  like Chris Houg won't take their hard erned money from them. This website SHOULD be for those who enjoy the hobby--not for VULCHERS like Chris Houg to go shopping with his FRIENDS.
Title: Re: Christopher Philip Houg Felony Fraud charges filed
Post by: dfan on July 27, 2009, 07:09:28 AM
Just so you know--I did leave with the paperwork,notorizied bill of sale, bogus title and the car in a trailer--the paperwork was  found to be fraudulant later. MY WORD howerever was good as gold and so was my paperwork unlike the word of Chris Houg. It is not fun to go through the legal process--I was not going to write this at first because I knew I would be critisized by his friends--but I decided what about all the great mopar fans that are honest on this site ?  If the moderators and the people on this site think its ok to act like Chris Houg--what does that say? Got it straight yet ? :icon_smile_question: :icon_smile_question:

what kind of RETARD (sorry for expression but was better than other choices)

A: trades a daytona for a new heap of shit.
B: can in there right mind be deceived by a v8 cover. I mean shit dude, they dont even sound remotely the same.


Conclusion: Deceiving and lieing isnt right but the stupidity of that deal aint any better either. :slap:
Title: Re: Christopher Philip Houg Felony Fraud charges filed
Post by: chargergirl on July 27, 2009, 07:26:22 AM
I truly believe that no one on this site or any other feels that it is ok to commit fraud...in any form. Just as we went through the angst that another member endured through with his purchase...he was also held responsible for purchasing something he didn't check out first. Everything will come out in the wash. If he is guilty he will be held responsible. Documentation has to be seen before the final deal. We just verified my car was as it was supposed to be. Well it wasn't and it is. Numbers matching, not a 383 as told. In this event I don't feel the guy was trying to rip me off or even misinform me. I think he was misinformed, we got the car from someone we trusted who ALSO told us to verify that it was what the person said it was. Reading the VIN#/fender tag, prior to purchase may have helped, however it could also have been modified...glued on. These Tags will tell you EVERYTHING! Caveat emptor...let the buyer beware has been written since man has been doing business.

Well, good luck getting your car/money back. I'm sure you feel pretty stupid about letting your clone go for a V6 Challenger so I won't pile on. Chaulk it up as lesson hard learned.

Post by: dfan on July 27, 2009, 07:38:23 AM
Oh yeah--lesson learned--but I didn't write this to justify myself or the trade or explain the reason for the trade--or worry about criticizem--it was to inform the honest members--99% of those who go here for advice on their project --I have already figured a way to reslove my problem.

Post by: Go Hogs Go on July 27, 2009, 08:14:18 AM
That sucks. I learned my lesson the hard way when I took a 68 Mustang #'s matching GT coupe in trade for my 71 Challenger. It turned out not to be a GT and was born a with a 6 cylinder. :eek2: I'll be lucky if I even get my money back, but that was on me. He was just passing on what he had been told when he bought the car and did not check it out, and neither did I until it was to late.

sorry to hear this man.. we have all not done the most intelligent things in our lives (me definately included in regards to trades or cars bought, i have my doozies of "what the hell was i thinking?" car trades).  I hope everything works out for you and the CON MAN GETS IT IN THE ASH IN PRISON FOR ALL I CARE! I hope justice overcomes in this one, this guy is a dirtbag if your allegations are true.
Title: Re: Christopher Philip Houg Felony Fraud charges filed
Post by: Arthu® on July 27, 2009, 09:15:08 AM
Some of you are missing the point. Whether dfan deemed the trade between the Daytona and the Challenger R/T fair is completely irrelevant, it is just about the fact that he never got what he thought he traded for and that is fraudulent, if the papers that were used in the exchange have really been altered than that really closes it. All the other side things such as how well the homework was done, or how he could be fooled by a V6 sound are not to the point. He is so nice to give us heads up on a guy that is an alleged scammer that is active on this site we should be happy and if this all is just a misunderstanding (hard to believe, but nothing is impossible) it is time for F6Daytona to step up to the plate and defend himself. Otherwise we will probably hear the outcome of the legal process and in the meantime we can watch out while dealing with F6Daytona.

dfan I wish you all the luck with the legal process and I hope that the deal can either be reversed or that you are compensated in any way.

This "F6Daytona" guy was trying to buy some parts I had for sale.

I'm not going to go into any detail here,

but let's just say something didn't feel right.

I put an end to the deal.

I'm VERY glad I did.

I think its worth noting also though that its not a XX29 Daytona that you were trading. I was reading some of the replies and it seemed that some people were under the impression it was a Daytona that you traded. Very nice car you have there Dfan, I know I have talked to you through PM's about it a few times. Sorry to hear about the bad deal going down. I had been contacted a few times by the other party from this deal about some parts for aero cars. After a few replies and communications though I stopped hearing from him so just let the deals go by the way side. I'm glad now too because I wouldn't want close friends to get stepped on by someone like that.

dfan, it's easy to be a Monday morning football coach, they never make mistakes. For those who say in effect "you should have known better" or whatever after the fact advise they have to offer, I'm sure they have never been taken (cheated) this way. Personally, I admire your humility, and the fact that you are willing to state the facts, regardless of how it might reflect on you. My advise would be to hang in there, fight it tooth and nail, allow the legal process (as slow as it may be) to run its course. You will come out on top. I've been self employed for twenty five plus years. I've seen all kinds of trash come and go. Trust me, it catches them. As a man sows, so shall he reap. Justice comes in all forms. Keep your head up. You dealt honestly, the other guy is the crook. That's my :Twocents:

Hard part is you can't touch it yet. However with the lawsuit he shouldn't be able to sell it either. Best thing you did was hit him with a lawsuit. Dealt with a lot of folks that think how could I be that stupid...it's naive...your honest and you expect others to be honest. Most are honest then you have those that take advantage of your good nature. He got was he wanted. Those are some severe charges for a Realtor.

From the sounds of it, this guy will just swap the VIN or paperwork when he tries to offload it.
Dont be too suprised if its long gone by the time the courts catch up to him. Probably already had a buyer in the wings. and traded it on before you got the law involved.

Hopefully the car isn;t parted out before it's all settled - pretty hard to prove ownership of individual parts; especially if they're gone.

I can't believe someone would have the audacity to try something like this face to face. Show up with bogus paperwork and a fake car.

This boy will literally have hell to pay on judgement day when he stands in front of his maker.

Mack,thanks for understanding--you and Chargergirl are right,I have to let the legal process run its course-but man its moving slow--Calif.DMV wanted copies, 3 states sheriff dept. wanted copies, the lawyer--its alot of work. I also agree with 451-74 charger  I think he had a buyer for the car or wanted the new 426 hemi out of it----BUT maybe he's trying to pawn it off as a real daytona,thats why hes looking at broadcast sheets and new front fenders????? danmc77, Brock, and bmoparmofo--I agree.

If he has the ability to get fake paperwork, I'd think his plan was to get a fraudulent XX29 Vin and fender tag, try to pawn it off as a the real deal to a unsuspecting rich guy for a lower than normal hemi daytona price. Just hoping to find a guy with deep pockets that wouldn't know any better to go farther than looking at the fake vin tag and fender tag. Shady guy like this i'm sure he can find someone to make a vin and fender tag.

I was guided to the locked thread about the Hayes wheels by a member here while I was having issues with Mr Houg. Had that thread been left open or posts about Mr Houg left in place...maybe you and me would of been saved alot of trouble.

If he does flip the car again either trading/selling as is or retagging it as a real daytona and DFAN is legally determined by the court to still be the owner of the car they will repsosses it no matter who owns it and return it to DFAN.  The Challenger back to the bank.  What that means is who ever last pays for that car and has it in their possesion loses. It would be considered stolen property at that point. Returnable to the rightful owner.
I wouldn't be suprised if this car ends up as a hot potato while the slow wheels of justice turn.
DFAN really sorry this happened to you.  It sucks that people like that exsist in our hobby.

Well, when/if DFAN gets his conviction then the person that bought the car has charges that he/she will be able to press. Anothers fraud conviction will make the person repay/jail time/record of the transaction in public record. Hmmm, check the public records to see if the person has sold the car. Or had other convictions. Clerk of the court of whatever county you think it will show up in. You can pull the persons name and just put in ALL under record search. I do this all the time...think I'll go do that now...see what I can find.

Hey lilwendal--you might be right--in legal terms--but at this point my goal is to make sure Chris Houg does TIME in PRISON. The reason I'm pursueing this soo hard is to let him and his buddies know that the consequences of taking property from those who work HARD for it--- WILL NOT BE TOLERATED period. Have you noticed all the beautiful cars the members on this site have---I doubt any of them got them for free--look at the amount of time put into these cars--they sacrificed their time and money for years of their life to be proud. I want to make sure that anyone who thinks they can take that away will be treated harshly so no one else will try it again.

You wanted to trade cars and meet me in Las Vegas NV you test drove the car and drove off with the car to buy "BELT BUCKELS". I thought that you were crazy, but you wanted to trade so we did. Wheres the harm there? Now you have traders remorse and this is my fault? How and where is the scam? I will have my attorney look at all the false accusations and slanderous remakes that you have made on the site. Again, you wanted to trade and again how is this my fault?

I have just read this thread, and for the record, i live in Norway, so rules might be a little different there, but since you (F6Daytona) ask how it could be your fault, maybe we can ask you:

1. Did you tell to dfan that it had a 5,7 Hemi?
2. Why did you put a Hemi cover over the engine?
3. Is it correct that you owed 25 k on the car, and told you owed just 5?
4. Is the collatheral now moved from the Challys title, to clear it, or is it still there?
5. Was the paperwork you showed dfan in Las Vegas on the car correct?

There is no doubt that dfan should have done more homework, and maybe brought a knowledgable guy to check out the challenger, and this could have been avoided, but give us an honest answer on the questions above, then we can discuss.

For the record..... if dfan´s story is correct................here in Norway, you would have got some "personal attention" !

Heres the phone number of the investigator--Mr.Scott 307-351-0859--he would love to talk to you.Buyers remorse? Belt buckels? WHAT PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON  :shruggy: :shruggy: As far as Attornies --you already have my attornies number from the certified letter YOU signed for 2 months ago---oh yeah somebody's going to have REMORSE alright---YOU. As far as trying the whole case on this site --we are not going to do that--The people you need to talk to are waiting for a call and you can tell them your heartbreaking innocent story --I'm done talking to you--my lawyer is not--call him,he offered you away out before the law enforcement was envolved.

Credibility is going to play a big part in this.   You need to ask yourself "F6Daytona" how well do you think you will do in court against dfan with your record of criminal activity ?  If all I've read is true, you "F6Daytona" have a problem sir.   If all is true, I have a feeling that we won't hear from you again in this thread.   :scratchchin:    But then again, I was shocked at how stupid BK Auto was so maybe you will shock me as well.    ;)   It's real easy to fix this.   All you need to do is show some proof.    Prove dfan wrong and sue him for slander.    ;) :popcrn:   Chuck.....

It's the same car, just in one shot the yellow cap is afew hairs from being in the one photo is all. I look at the locations of where both photos was taken at. If the guy would have stand back afew more hairs the yellow cap would have been in the photo also. It looks to me like the oil cap is molded to the cover because when the cover is propped up on the one side, you can see the indention of where the cap is located at on the top side.

I'll make it simple.   :icon_smile_big:   F6Daytona probably made a deal with the first owner of the challenger.   In that deal, he got the challenger with an agreement that the first owner keeps making the payments.   He gets a new title so he "F6Daytona" can turn around and trade the challenger to dfan for the Daytona clone.   Now, the Daytona clone is probably gone or not in his "F6Daytona's" name.    This is all just a guess.   :shruggy:   :icon_smile_big:

In the end the lawyers are going to love this case. More money will spent than both cars combined are worth. This probably would have been better handled the old fashioned way. One person will probably go to jail and the other will be left holding an empty bag of cash and no car to boot. The lawyers will have all the loot, the Daytona will be lost forever, and , and the bank is going to take their Challenger back. I'm no legal wiz but in reality and through lifes expiriences watching these cases play out, that is what I predict will happen here. Sad, very sad indeed.

dfan better find out if he is the receipient of stolen goods. You continue to make the payment on the car until the insurance pays off the rest of the car if it is stolen. Could have been a way of getting out of the rest of the payments. Could be the owner would like to know where HIS/HER car is. Correct about the attorney's though...they will make out. The cops will work on this non-death related crime as they can. Who knows could be a girlfriends car that should be coming back soon. Real soon...any time now!

I know just was just trying to make light of a guy who traded a car that was not his, that money was apprently owed on, false presented as a HEMI which it was apparently not, to get a daytona (which was of course a clone)......

They did tell me that the address of the title holder is the same as Chris's.                 Aero426--the 06 car delivered & picked up w/Chris He is not of intrest at this time--I did contact him later as I found out what Chris was doing--he was helpful and personally I liked him--I KNOW alot of members know him so I wont elaborate.

Please understand people--I can not answer all your questions because this freud is under investigation--the reason I have answered the ones so far is for credibility--I have been total honest,everything I have said I can back up.The phone numbers I gave out were just a FEW of the law enforcement & agencies looking into the matter and they are not personal numbers it is their job and they are trying to help. I have also had help from members on this site who I am trying to help---their discussions and help is NOT AVAILABLE FOR DISCUSSION PERIOD.Chris commited a crime and I want HIM to pay for it--for a long time!!! I can not discuss everything but remember the investigators and I have had 3 months to look into this--the information and the order in which we got it did not happen in one day. I do not know if I'll get my car back or in peices or the title--but there are 2 things that would make me very happy --1--Chris would get 10 years in prison without parole  or  2--Come to my front door-yell in a threatening manner--and step in--lawsuit OVER :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

I dont think 10 years is right especialy if you get your car back. But to teach him a lesson they should make him buy you a full alloy hemi 528/540 and drop that in the daytona and cover all labour charge to get it done/tuned in and to pay for the new exhausts and gearbox it would need to run.

That would teach him not to scam and I know I would be  :icon_smile_big:

Also he had a chance and 30 days to resolve this for a very low amount with the clear title that he couldn't pay off---he may act like a high roller--but he can't back it up.

She is now an accessory. But at least you know the car is registered and it shouldn't be able to be parted out with it registered and part of an investigation. I wouldn't want to pay on a car that I didn't have any more so I don't get this way of thinking unless they intended to say it was stolen before you inconveniently reported the whole deal...heh. I want to know how this all comes out and don't want any one involved to undo their own case. It is my belief that as they untangle this mess other things will come to light.

Wow.
Well Dfan, I hope things work in your favor when this is all said & done...what a horrible experience! I hope F6Daytona gets many years behind bars too, to reflect on all the things he's done wrong in life. Maybe someone on the inside (prison) could be paid to give a daily "reminder" as to why you don't screw over your fellow man. :D

pun intended.. ?   :icon_smile_big:   :o
Absolutely. ;)

Is there a way to reposess the car?? The way i see it, there are 2 options.
1: Bring the cops, deliver the Chally, and reposess the Daytona.
2: Bring a few badass buddies, a loaded gun, and do the same thing.


I was recently in a shitty spot. I sold a 100K boat, and buyer failed to pay. I had known the guy for 20 years, and gave him the boat. He was supposed to pay me 2 weeks later :eek2: (I know.............dumbass me!!!! :nana:)
We ended up hotwiring and stealing the boat back..............with the cops blessing :D

Dfan, have you taken the vin to a dodge dealer and had then look up the info to get the original selling dealer? If a claim has been made through chrysler warranty it might have her real name. If she bought an extended warranty it would also show the name.you could also get info from the original dealership and contact her that way. I work in service. Hell just Instant message me the vin and I'll get you everything I can monday!

Hey DFan - been a while since i posted in here...     I see your dilemma and hope you did not take my original post in an offensive way - was not the intent - I was merely trying to stay as neutral as possible.

Well...     Christopher Houg has a lot of explaining to do...      and he seems to be a little too p*ssy to answer them. With the evidence of his criminal past evident his reputation and credit...

Check your PMs! I sent you something

That situation sucks... Too late now but...  I would have applied for a lost title, retrieved the datona, and left the Challenger in his front yard. Guy must have stolen the title out of my house, along with the car (from the garage), and forged my signature. The title in my possesion shows the most recent ownership. Would have been hard to back up any legitimate trade.

Friend of mine used this logic when someone wouldn't pay him for a vehicle. He got the reissued title went to retrieve the car, and the guy called the cops. The cop allowed the most recent car owner(Friend) to leave with the car. Hard to argue a legal document like a title. :Twocents:

I was just gonna leave it at that, but I can't sit on my hands...

SOMETHING JUST AIN'T ADDING UP!

1.  Someone offers to trade a Challenger R/T that they owe five grand on for your daytona (clone or not..its still worth more than a used '09 challenger...which is not even the top-of-the-line model... that someone owes five grand on).

2.  They bring this Challenger to you, which you test drive.

3.  you open the hood, and on the engine sits an engine cover from a Chrysler 300 (which should have been rattling like a motherfucker if it was just sitting on top of it).

4.  you manage to trade for a car that does not even belong to the guy trading it to you and without verifying the outstanding balance on the loan.

Something tells me that there is a hell of a lot more to this story than both parties are letting on.

I can't speak for Dfan

but sometimes money is not always the last consideration. I have a low 11 sec n/a smallblock drag car that i have over 9k in the drivetrain alone. Over 15k invested in all. In all it cost me around 25k with purchase price. I'd easily take 5k worth of AMD metal that i need and $2000 cash to buy interior parts with.

I'd be getting 7k for something that cost me 25k. Sure its not a daytona clone, but maybe Dfan had a real hankering for a rag top challenger  :shruggy:

dfan, wish i would have found this forum sooner. could have saved you a lot of time and money. chris houg makes his living scamming and has done it for years. i can give you at least 25 names of victims i have ran across since he got me for 10k back in 2001.

forget the law, nothing will happen to him. don't take the law to help you get your car back. chris will lie and say you owe him money for restoring it for you. he has done that before also. google his name. he scams in real estate also. check pissedconsumer.com.

email me and i'll give you all of his addressess, aliases, other victims, his ss#, criminal, civil, and bankruptcy case #'s, wife and 2 daughter's names (you can see them on facebook), mother's name and address plus alot more.

he mostly scams dodge people but he delve's in mercury and other makes i'm sure. i have a list of about 20 different ebay names he has used in the past. he recently tried to sell a fake 69 runner modtop, (plymouth which he claims was special ordered with a dodge modtop) you will see that one when you google his name on the modtopregistry hit.

you have no idea what kind of misery you are going to experience taking the route you're taking to try and re-coup your loss. the fbi took my case in 2001, talked to him, said they knew he was a b.s artist and 5 years later finally told me the case was no longer active. i'm in alabama so chris is a long way away but i still plan to visit him one of these years. you are alot closer so, well, you do what you think is right but i'm telling you, there is only one way you will get your car back and it is not going thru the legal channels.

as i said, email me and i think you will see this in a whole different light.

hey dfan,

just got a call from the young lady that you spoke with about chris houg. she sounds like a very nice person and it is a shame chris got her for $36,000. it proves he will use any make, not just mopar to steal from anyone he can get to trust him.

for the rest of you guys, this young lady bought a 59 impala on ebay that chris was selling. fully restored original #'s matching, get in it and drive it away beautiful car as chris put it. unfortunately, not even close. non-original junk motor with water in it from sitting in a junk yard. trans is krap as well as the rest of the car. same as the one i bought i expect. no dash, no seats, no carpet, nothing in the engine compartment but a junk block not even bolted in, 1 bolt holding the 741 rear end on the car which was supposed to be a dana, more bondo than metal, no lights, bumpers, well, i think you get the picture.

this lady bought the car as a present for her husband. when it arrived, she called the impala specialist whoever that is in CA and before she could say much, he said, let me guess, you got it from chris houg.

just wanted to post this to back dfan up and say, do not deal with this guy on anything. if you do, you will be taken.

hope the law enforcement guys are getting somewhere with your case dfan and i assume you have told them about this lady also. give us an update when you can.

thanks, hiway

Hello fellow board members,
Chris Houg just ripped me off in the amount of $53.95. He placed a chargeback on my paypal account saying he didn't recieve the item he purchased from me on ebay. Well, he picked the wrong guy to mess with. I ship all of my items with tracking and insurance and have proof his item was delivered. Paypal has reversed the transaction and taken back the $53.95 he paid until they investigate. What is there to investigate? I sent paypal the link to the USPS website with proof his item was delivered. That same info is also available in my paypal account transactions. They are going to take 5 days to investigate!? It would take them about 30 seconds of investigating to see what this scumbag is trying to pull. He is playing ignorant to this by saying things like "what are you talking about?" I'm going to post the truth about our transaction on every Mopar board that I'm a member of and may join more boards just to warn other venders/sellers/buyers about dealing with this scumbag. I have all the facts to back up what I'm posting, no lies, just the truth. SELLERS/BUYERS/VENDERS BEWARE!!! Here's his info in case anyone needs to pay him a friendly visit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I know him. over the summer I put out a warning about him. He got ahold pf me to buy Kelsey Hays recall wheels. He insisted on COD 2400.00 dollars.
He told me he wanted to do COD becouse he did not trust me. I said no problem. I sent them and he was fighting with the UPS man over leaving the boxes at his house and he would have to come back later the pic up the money. UPS said no. so the wheels stayed in the UPS warehouse for two weeks with ups going to the house dropping of the letter telling him to go to ups to pick up. i called him , spoke to him and he told me he was on his way to ups. It never happened They came back to my house and I was out of 200.00 dollars for cod ins. and shipping...

It looks to me that untill he goes to jail or worse nothing is gonna stop him. He has gotten away with so much his actions are just common place. If anyone ever see's him he will probably be alone. I don't seeing him having too many friends.

Man looks like Chris is still up to his old tricks. Sorry to hear you've been taken by him. You're not the first, and probably not the last. He was into imports for a while, and ripped off members over at s2ki.com . Check the user amuseap1. He is also into lowriders and has made a bad name for himself on layitlow.com under the name Spanish Caravan. The guy is a straight con man. In person he is a nice guy and very believable, but is always mixed up in a bad financial transaction of some sort. He passes bad checks, does constant chargebacks on his credit cards and has committed insurance fraud. Do a search for his name under the Riverside County Public Records. He has a TON of judgments against him. He was a licensed real estate agent for a while but became known for screwing people over. He did the same thing when he was selling cars for local dealerships. The guy is a con man and has been at it a long time. I hope you get him. Good luck.

No big deal for me, but he sure talked a good game and money was no problem, guess doing a legit deal with a contract scared him!

What's really sad is people not doing their homework....With all the information that's on the net, there is no reason for getting hosed in this day and age.

This douchebag simply prayed upon people's gulibility and greed. Told them exactly what they wanted to hear, and they bought it like this guy with the Daytona clone. I'm sorry, but I for one would never have even thought of trading a musclecar for some POS, run-o-the-mill, Challenger. I do find it troubling that he took as many as he did before people began to put his name "Up in lights".

If he is dead, may he continue to feel that very warm feeling of flames on his ass in hell.

Anytime you ask for MY hard earned money, your under the microscope period. No reason anybody should just "Trust" anyone else either. Doing homework means ALOT more than just phone/email conversations. It means asking ALOT of questions these days. Back about 20 years ago, we had these people, but it was ALOT harder for them to do this type thing, nowadays, it seems we have been bombarded by the scammers. Again, DO YOUR HOMEWORK Regardless.

Ok, /sarcasm off.     Personally I think someone should take him out back of the barn and talk to him by hand for about 20 minutes, then feed him to the hogs.

This is not the first time I've heard of his dude, he's tried over the years to "buy" stuff I've posted for sale, or try and order repro Daytona parts from me, he just contacted me via PM on Moparts not to long ago, this is probably the 3rd time in about 5-7 yrs, and he's dumb enough to continue using the name Chris, along with some Daytona reference call name, or Email...I love how he always wants you to ship the parts COD...hope nobody gets taken by this fool

Well, it would appear as if I had dealings with this "not so honorable individual".  So here's my short story to add to what seems like a never ending tail.  Late last year he called me as he wanted to buy my NOS Daytona Rear Window.  He claimed he had an original Hemi Daytona in the shop being restored and that the rear window had disappeared.  He said he believed the shop had ripped him off but couldn't prove it.  (Which is kind of funny, considering his actions with members of this forum).   Anyway, after several phone calls, I started to get that "Feeling" about him and told him that he would have to pick up the window as I didn't feel like shipping it due to both the weight and the possibility of breakage.   He agreed and so we set up a meeting on a Saturday for him to pick up the window.....he never showed and so I called him.  He gave me a story about something coming up and so we rescheduled for the next Saturday.....again a no show and he never called.  I never bothered with him again......Lucky me.   I would never do business with this guy for any amount of cash....Seller beware.  Our hobby doesn't need anymore individuals such as this........

I seem to remember that he had an F6 green 69 Charger for sale not long ago,with a red Daytona in the background of the pictures of the F6 green car. IIRC this is the same guy who traded a guy amodern Challenger that was supposed to be a Hemi V8,and paid for in full  car with a clear title for a red Daytona clone.  The Challenger turned out to be a V6 Challenger with a Hemi engine cover onit,and it had a large note owed on it. That is probably the red Daytona in those photos of the F6 Charger.

The saying wouldn't exist if it wasn't so. I been to 5 different mechanics, same shit with all 5. They see old car and then their labor charge goes up 3x to what is normal. Down here unless you know someone in the car industry you can trust, you need deep pockets to have jerks do stuff for you. Wife took her normal car to simply get a roadworthy, they said 5 things were wrong with the car. She paid them $150 to fix it, all they did was get some steel wool, clean the nodes on the battery and closed the lid. That costs $150? That was a car dealership.

Yet people gonna make a case out of this one guy.  :slap:

The problem with 90% of the "old cars" that come into my shop are the owners. They have no idea what they are doing, have torn everything apart and changed every possible setting, tow the car in not running, and expect me to fix it for 50 bucks because "it just needs tuned" i dont change my labor rate, but i dont work for free and before i can even start "tuning" i have to fix everything that has been touched. And they NEVER give you the whole story as to what theyve butchered so you are going in blind and starting from scratch.
   Same goes with alignments. Love the guys with the full size jacked up broncos and the 80-97 f series. Any mechanics on here know how bad they can be to set caster and camber on with the balljoint cams. Rust starts the problem, then the cost of each cam, yet those owners expect the regular $99 alignment fee to apply to them as well and feel i should eat the cost of the cams and extra labor to get them installed.
   While alot of mechanics may be crooked, not all of us are. sometimes you are just bringing in junk, and junk cost money to make right.

My experience has been nobody wants to touch the old stuff so they quote you 3x price in hopes you go somewhere else. If they can't plug something in to tell them what's wrong they don't want to know about it. There's plenty of easy money out there so why take on the stuff they don't want to do, now if your prepared to pay 3x the price they become interested...

Needless to say I pretty much do everything I can myself now, and half the time the tools to do it youself are cheaper than the shop quote.

I said Most, not all :) Meaning, a vast higher majority screw people over with 'this and that' needs but in end don't do any of it cause there just making up stuff to make extra $ on.

The guy that this thread is about is intentionally screwing fellow Mopar enthusiasts over with his shady deals, he has been doing this for years, and never seems to be charged for doing it. He is lucky that street justice has not gotten to him yet.  One day he will cross the wrong guy, and he will get what's coming to him.

I had a fellow from Arkansas call right before Xmas last year.   Something about a Hemi Daytona a guy named Chris wants to sell him.   I told him "Send me the numbers".     He sends me Big Willie's King Daytona.      I tell him the car doesn't exist.     He sends me pics of a body shell with stock wheel tubs and a dash with an aged VIN plate (fake).     I send him over to another old timer who confirms to him the car is not real.     So that's where I thought it ends.     

Saturday, I get a call from the same guy in Arkansas.   Right back to where we started in December.   He's still talking to Chris.   He still wants to believe.    I told him to walk away.   I don't think he will listen.

This is exactly the type of fish he is counting on finding. I am sure that there are a lot of other people who he has done this type of thing to,who are too embarrassed to admit that this guy has taken them,because they were told by people in the know, who told them to walk away!  If something seems to good to be true it usually is!

Just bumping up the thread since last post was a year ago

I posted on here Sept 24, 2009 and tried to convince dfan not to depend on law enforcement but he was convinced the law would fix it just as I was back in 2001 when he took me for $10k.

As I said then, the FBI took my case against this piece of shit. Even interviewed him and said they knew he was full of shit. Well 5 years later and a new federal prosecutor in office, my case was dropped in 2006. Not enuff $ for the FBI to fool with it.

For all the naysayers and those who would never let this happen to them, you don't need to read any further.

For all others, Chris Houg is a professional con artist. Do not deal in any way with him or you will be scammed.

Leadsledmercury, modtopchargerrt, xx29dodgecharger and the other 100 or so eBay names he's scammed under are probably closed accts on eBay. These are just a few names he used in 2001 on eBay and if he is still out there, you can bet he's got another 100 names he uses to sell and buy. This guy has screwed over his own mother people. Don't think for 1 second he won't take you to the cleaners

Chris is very smart and very convincing that he is stand up guy and he has scammed hundreds. He buys new cars with fake Info and never makes a payment. He has taken individuals for as much as $40k and probably more many times. It doesn't matter if it's $50 dollars or $50k, he runs the scam. He convinced one that he would work on his old Mopar for him. When the car owner finally found his car in a back yard of Chris's relative, he made the mistake of calling the sheriff's office. Chris told the deputy he was holding the car until the owner paid him for work he had done to it. He had done nothing to the car and the owner had paid him $600 up front to get started with the work. A couple days later when the owner presented enuff evidence to prove what he was saying, the car and Chris we're gone.

Chris claims to have a modtop roadrunner special ordered with a Dodge modtop and at one time it was supposedly in the modtop registry

Kelsey Hayes recall wheels, rimblow steering wheels and plenty more rare expensive Mopar, Chevy, Merc parts are another rip off specialty of his. He has no concious but he does have aliases and addresses out the ass.

Now whether you think dfan, myself and hundreds of others are idiots for being taken or not, you have been warned. If he gets you, don't go to the police. I tried to tell dfan that 10 yemars ago and looks like his Daytona clone is shown in this thread recently with a new owner. I'd bet it wasn't purchased from dfan. Instead try to track Chris down and get your shit back from him personally with much force. If you have to kill him, you will be forever known as a hero to the honest classic car enthusiasts.

Within an hour of posting my Daytona on E-bay last week got a call from a Harrison in CA  and that # traces back to Christopher Houg and he wanted to buy it now. I tried calling E-bay to find I D's and names and blocking. They were absolutely no help. Any Help in blocking this scammer?

you can block any person from bidding on your auctions....you just need to know the name that they are using and put it in your blocked bidder list

About 10 years ago I somehow was trying to buy a Daytona nose and other assorted Daytona parts from him. We agreed to meet in a parking lot on a hot summer day in Palm Springs, Ca. Since I had over $10.000.00 in cash on me for the parts and I was suspicious of him I brought some people with me. The parts he brought were junk so I didn't buy them. I noticed though that when he showed up in his old Chevy dually the police showed up and parked across the parking lot and were watching us. As soon as he left , the police left too. It sure looked like they were watching him.
