Default Anyone know Dennis Tuttle in Valparaiso Indiana?

Is he the same Dennis Tuttle that's been running scams for the last decade+? All the info I can find show him being based out of Oklahoma, but I have a feeling he's the same guy.

He's got a bunch of Pontiac projects for sale. I was setting up a deal to buy a 70 T/A project from him. He wanted a pretty hefty deposit. Said he was coming up my way to deliver another car, so he would take the 70 with him and deliver it.


I have a strong suspicion he's the same guy who's been screwing people over for a long time.

Probable the same guy. Just happens to be going your direction? Can deliver? Sounds like a scam to me. Is his middle name Ray?

Idk his middle name.

Yeah seems like a scam. He has his stuff listed on a Facebook group for buying and selling classics. I've had good luck with the people in those groups, but this guy seems to be the same individual running scams for at least a decade.

Yup that's one of the threads I came across during my research.

Apparently he's still out there scamming people.

Wow.

On another note, there is a "famous" crook out there who bills himself as a master Pontiac engine builder.

When I was shopping for a crate engine recently, I came upon his site in a Google search. For someone with a name that has been badmouthed for decades, he sure mentions his name many times on his website.

I still have an unused set of 7K3 heads I bought from him many years ago. Funny thing is, the heads have 5C on them . . . . . Yup, he f’d me.
Not sure how he is still in business.

Default If anyone on the board has been ripped off by Dennis Tuttle, PM me.

I'll send you a PDF copy of his 25 page background check report with phone numbers, emails, addresses, convictions, pleas, judgements, etc.

One guy has a civil judgement for $1,054,700, another for $848,540 and another for $823,367. Plus around a dozen more from $3k to $125k. I'm pretty surprised that he is still wasting oxygen......

And, yes, his current address is in Monticello, MN.

6945 91ST ST NE
MONTICELLO, MN 55362

Doesn't own the house, just rents it from Mark and Janell Kunze. They're most likely innocent bystanders.....

I spent a whole $1 signing up for it.....

That's a shame. I often wonder what happens to frauds? (There was an officer Tuttle on Mash that Hawkeye made up to get money for the orphanage).

obviously not enough as the crook continues his evil ways with almost no consequence... he should be locked up for years and yet he continues to deceive
