David Lee Roth Imposter “Scamming” Ontario, Allergic to Nuts

7/14/08, 12:52 pm EST

It turns out that whole story about David Lee Roth having an allergic reaction to nuts while driving is true, except it didn’t involve the real David Lee Roth. According to Ontario police, there’s a man running around the province impersonating the Van Halen frontman. It was this mock Diamond Dave who was saved by police after peanuts caused an allergic reaction. The real David Lee Roth already issued a statement, saying he was not saved by Ontario police and he’s certainly not allergic to anything, “besides criticism.” A police spokesperson is now saying this fake Roth has “scammed a lot of people” up north and that he could be charged with obstruction of justice for giving a false name to cops. But the story doesn’t end there: The faux Roth was seen partying at a nightclub in Hamilton, Ontario, where he reportedly sang a song and was partying with “two nurses from the hospital.” The man was wearing expensive clothes and “a hospital bracelet,” so either the fake Dave ate more nuts or he escaped the mental ward with two nurses and the belief that he really is David Lee Roth. A message to Canadian fans: approach all Diamond Daves with caution.

That warning for Canadian fans should really be heeded across the globe. Contact with the David Lee Roth of “California Girls” fame can’t be any picnic, either.

He’s a very charming con man named David Angel. He’s well known in AA/NA circles across Canada as being a pathological liar and a scam artist.

Maybe Fake David Lee Roth Out In Ontario And Fake Rikki Rocket Out In Mississippi Should Team Up And Start Wickedly Whack Rock Band ;-)

Well, at least the real Diamond Dave has money again to make it worth the nurses trouble. :)

David Angel/Kuntz or whatever he goes by these days has returned to Chilliwack BC. I spoke with the proprietor of a local pawn shop who staed that Mr. Kuntz was in his store trying to pawn off music gear. He was refused service given all the crap he’s pulled. My guess is that the items in question were probably stolen.

Kuntz is anything but harmless. The guy has left a trail of destruction through everyone’s life he’s come into contact with.

Don’t be fooled by this evil man. Stay away, far away. He is a true sociopath and will think nothing of destroying your life for his gain.

I know a girl he slept with by using the David Lee Roth Angle… yes is a scamming liar, but ladies, sometimes when you want to fuck a star so bad, you get blinded by the fake lights.

According to other reports he talked one girlfriend into killing another, using Satanic ideas to convince her it was her destiny.

Charming indeed…

David Lee Roth a.k.a “David Angel” worked the detox and recovery house ciruit in and around the lowermainland of BC 06 & 07,duping many

That Dave Angel guy was in Chilliwack for a long time. I saw him at a tanning place (07) and he was taking fake phone calls and going on about touring in Russia in his private jet. He dosen’t even look that much like Dave. Then as he went in for a tan, a 20 something guy that was sitting there said to me, Hey that’s David Lee Roth. I said the real Dave’s in New York on the radio are you fickin kidding me. Of course I was far from being fooled, especially when he pulled up in a 92′ Pontiac Tempest with dints in it. The other guy was sold though. Really tells you how stupid some people are.

haha funny stuff!

It gets worse than that.. he scammed a whole bunch of people in the lower mainland of BC by pitching stocks in a Australian gold company… He had befriended a few stock promoters of ill repute and they used his charms to solicit a lot of money from gullible people.

He is a nice enough guy but is tormented by his own demons of drug addiction and mental health issues… It’s a real shame..

I was one of many high profile people in vancouver who befriended him… He honestly was a really fun fellow to hang around with.

I was one of the lucky ones who saw through his facade, and I did see a good guy at heart.. Unfortunately he does tend to have sociopathic behaviour.

I miss the laughs, but I feel sorry for all the pain he left on others in his wake.

Sad story..
