Wow. Just now made it through this thread.

Major props to all involved here. Especially the good Samaritans who had no skin in the game, but spent god knows how much time on others' behalf.

:tiphat:

If nothing else, this thread should serve as fair warning to buyers and potential scammers who dare come on this site and try something shady...

This thread is the equivalent of posting severed heads on pikes outside the castle gates...

All I can say is wow, I MEAN WOW! This was such a great read while killing time doing laundry. Kudos to everyone involved with owning this guy! I hope someone can keep us in the loop as to Kris' future residence. Big props to hyunsoo! You score some pretty serious karma credit man! It is sad to say that there aren't many people that would have taken the high road like you did with you part of this mess. Tons of respect to you!

Personally, I wish we didn't ban Kris. I was just starting to figure out his language.

How the hell did I missed this thread?! :icon14:
I'm glad it came out good. Huge props to everyone, it feels good to be a part of this family.

I thought you guys might like to see this, A-TOWN on TopTierImports just found this gem:

Looks like Mr. Hope has had everything taken from him since the authorities are now VERY involved...you can bet he'll be behind bars soon and for a long time. Give yourselves a pat on the back, guys.

XiP 08-13-2013 11:44 PM

Hey, honestly, you gotta give this fuckíng lowlife props through... He's good at what he does, he stole a brake set, resold it to 2 people, sold a turbo kit he didn't have, and stole a car through fraud!

Guys, I love you all, but c'mon, we all need to get smarter to not let shít get taken away from us! I wouldn't ship out a god damn oil filter without payment. (Well I lied, I sent 2 to help out a forum member, lol) but still, don't let yourself get scammed

That was the point of having this thread stickied... That and serving as a warning to potential scammers.

Edit: Also I don't think he is/was very good at what he does. He was caught almost instantly (here) and ruined pretty quickly. He didn't make any effort to conceal his identity and couldn't resist the urge to engage with people trashing him here - which ended up drawing more attention to himself.

I had a whole thing typed up here about how he could have gotten away with it but then realized I'd be providing a boilerplate for people to do this in the future so...yeah.

Damn how did I miss this!!!....what's the final verdict did we get this scammer in jail or have a cleaner do the job? I tried to follow through with all the post but I ll be late for work. This is like real CSI what not staff:tup: kudos to private eye, pure swank and W.O.W. I'm glad you guys are forum members! It's like the tv series The equalizer !

^It appears the car was returned to its rightful owner.

cooltoy 08-14-2013 01:59 PM

Two hours well spent.

Props and respect to all of you. You guys are impressive and scary (to those who need to be scared).

Funny thing.... I asked hyunsoo1803 in the Amuse thread to let me know if he was ever in Calgary, so I can check out his car. I had a thought of offering him a place to stay if he ever came to town, but then I thought "he could be a drug addicted, serial killer/rapist, I better not".

Well after reading this thread - hyunsoo1803 you can stay at my house anytime you want.

I would say it's extremely likely that he was arrested :)

Quoting for posterity.

I reached out to the guy who posted the car for sale to see if he knows Kris' fate.

Im talking to the owner who got the car back and seriously considering the 350z for 8K.

Blown head gasket though and the 350 has no resale value at all. On the other hand you could take care of that awful color and potentially send Kris pictures of it so there's that.

Edit: also if you're already in ouch with the guy, ask him if he knows what happened to Kris.

hyunsoo1803 08-15-2013 09:55 PM

On the side note, the original owner picked up the bbk from me. All is good !

Cant believe his car is a stolen car...

Agree with this. Start KBB and subtract repaint and engine rebuild.

"was" lol

Private Eye 08-17-2013 02:53 AM

well dmhenderson

for 8K, yes it has known head gasket failure.

but the car is a freshly (puke coloured) painted Z, with a TT kit, and alot of great supporting mods. Original owner claims 40K in build receipts.

almost worth more in parts.

Private Eye 08-17-2013 02:56 AM

Im not a Z guy, but owned a few skylines.

Im flying up to calgary to check this car out. Any words of advice on these cars? besides the blown headgasket, whatelse should i be looking for.


I will take pics of the car when im there.

Find out what happened to Sloth from the Goonies! :tup:

dmhenderson 08-17-2013 07:33 AM

Holy... Can't stop laughing. This is just...just:

Quote:

Hey that was a good read - just read through most of it. I feel like you guys need some closure and a good laugh. So here it goes - Chris defrauded me out the Z and provided me a fake identity and registered the car under his gf. All of my best friends are cops and I found who the car was registered to and opened a civil case ( at this point no matter how much evidence I provided they wouldn't pursue). He gets it and flips out and tried to give countless excuses and tried to get me to drop the case. I wouldn't so he hired lawyers to resolve the matter. He gave the lawyers checks which were no good and the bank made an error (seriously) and showed as the funds arriving and I took my check and though it was done. Few days later the money disappears and the lawyers are furious. I've never seen some one so vengeful. So the lawyers harass the cops every day until they take the case. They impound the at July 26 which is why no pictures for the kit ever surface. The guy couldn't even get the turbos right (gt28rs). So I recover the car and the cops have laid charges on him for me and the lawyers. He was arrested last week - I don't know how long he will be in jail for / when he will actually go to court for the charges. I have conditionally sold the car to some one who knows the complete history. I will change my civil case to show a loss on sale and go after him and his gf (the car was registered to her and she knew it was stolen. Actually had the balls to call me about it).
So the turbo kit DID exist! It was a 350 HKS TT.
tl;dr Kristopher is indeed in jail. I told the guy I would email him your responses.

dmhenderson 08-17-2013 07:34 AM

The mental picture of Kris sitting in a room with his lawyers and slowly handing them checks written in crayon has me laughing so goddamned hard.
