Breck Waters a.k.a. Doug Pittman (which is his real name), but since leaving FL. in 1996,owing several people large sums of money, he owes one lady in FL. $50,000.00 and a man $18,000.00. He has been going by the name of Breck Waters. Both of them had invested in one or another of his businesses, which never materialized. I have also discovered on the Internet that in the state of FL. several corporations were formed by Doug Pittman in a short period of time and failed. Another Florida web site shows numerous judgements that have never been satisfied. Also on the Internet in the state of Nevada, there are two judgements one under Doug Pittman for approximately $70,000 and one under the name of Breck Waters for approximately $10,000.00.

I have discovered on the Internet, through My Space, that he has now set up a web site called RaceNFans.com to try to get sponsors for NASCAR #53. In my opinion, hold on tight to your wallets, I would think twice before ever investing in anything this man dreams up. In the past he has used investments for his personal use and does not invest it in his business. The man is a crook and has been for many years. As far as I know, this man has never worked a real job.

This man conjures up an idea to make money and then goes around to friends and acquaintances and asks them to invest. I met Breck while he was living in Henderson, NV. Henderson is a suburb of Las Vegas. I actually met him through a bowling league. I had been a friend with him and his wife for approximately two years. Breck then came up with an idea to start a bowling tournament called the Great Las Vegas Challenge Bowling Tournament. He started the first tournament in November of 2005 and called it Santas Rollout. Then in January he started a new tournament. I do not know how he did it, but he got several of the Station Casinos and the Coast Casinos to support his effort. The casinos announced the bowling to the league bowlers and also put up banners and let Breck pass out flyers for his tournament. The people that bowled in the tournament paid $5 each time to bowl 20 lanes and had to get an 8,9 or 10. If they did not accomplish this they were out, and had to pay another $5.00 to try again. If they did accomplish it, they then qualified for the final tournament in December of 2006, where the grand prize was either $50,000 or a brand new Toyota Truck from one of the car dealers in Las Vegas. This year end tournament never to place because Breck left town in September of 2006 without paying any of the bowlers back. He had left his wife of 34 years for a much younger woman and he had to get out of town, because he was involved in a domestic abuse incident with his wife. As far as I know at this time his wife is homeless and on assistance from the state.

Breck approached me in September of 2005, after he knew that I had received some money in a divorce settlement, and asked me for $4,000.00 to invest in the Great Las Vegas Challenge, to be used to purchase business licenses for his tournament and to print flyers etc. He told me at the time that he would return my investment by December 2005. This guy was supposed to be a friend, so I invested the money to help him out. He never purchased any licenses. He did however do the tournament. The middle of December I called him and asked him when he was going to pay me my money back. He said that he did not have it. Well, to make a long story short, after many phone calls he finally ended up paying me back $1800.00 of the $4,000.00 and he paid it back in small increments over the next year. When he and his wife split up he left town and I called several times asking for the rest of the money. I then found out through bowlers that he had also set up a contract with another couple in Las Vegas for $12,500. The other couple and I met and went to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept. and filed fraud charges. We have yet to go to the 8th District Court and try to get our money back. It is very costly and time consuming to pursue this.

I received a letter from Breck Waters at the end of 2006, stating that the money had been a loan for his daughter and Son in law. He also has tried to make other people believe that his wife had borrowed the money for a craft business that she did not have. Furthermore, his wife never knew about the money, because Breck Waters asked me explicitly to never mention it to his wife, because she would get upset that he had asked me for money. In hindsight this should have been a red flag for me. I thought that he was my friend, but I now realize that he was using my kindness and good heart.

I am tired of the fact that this man took advantage of me and several other investors. I get up every day and work an honest job. I am only trying to warn any investors, not to fall into the same trap that I fell into with this man. He is a good talker. I will give him that. He is also a liar and a cheat.

August 2011 Update

#12Consumer Comment

Sat, August 06, 2011

I am updating this report to say that my husband still has not paid back the borrowed money to anyone in this report. Nor has he made any effort to do the right thing by his wife.

And at this point in time, he has gone to yet another name change - Gene  a derivative of his middle name - which he has despised all of his life. Additionally, at one point on one of his many dotcoms ( I believe at last count I saw, it was at 56.) he had put up an entertainment page dropping the Breck and introducing himself as Rusty Waters. This was sent via a print screen.

I have not received one single penny from the man I married in well over a year. Before that it was 20/40 dollar variables here and there - sometimes a little more but rarely.

He stopped giving me money for my cell phone - leaving me no way to call for help if I needed to. I have been wearing the same tennis shoes since he left. I have 2 pair of socks left, absolutely no more elastic in my underwear or bras. I just wear them because its just what you do.

This last year my health has  increasingly become worse. I have had 2 more teeth crack and at this point I can only tolerate soft food. I dont think its fair to burden the taxpayers when my husband lives as he does and can afford to give me something. For God sake, he could at least give my 10 dollars a week for lotion or deodorant or powder. If not to help me, at least take the burden off of our daughter. Shes not supposed to be taking care of her mother this way. I guess he thinks the way we are living is okay. Its not! My daughter and my grandchildren are not happy. Its hard on all of us. 

But please let him and the mistress have it all. The jewelry. The cruises. The NASCAR events. The ongoing purchases of various means of transportation. And I recently learned that as I was being evicted [sic] that they had leased a $400,000 horse farm in Clermont Florida.

My husband has said repeatedly to me that there is nothing to show he makes any money. So lets go on that presumption. Am I or and any other common sense individual or the court to believe that a mistress working as a waitress in an Italian food chain pays rent and utilities - pays cruises and trips - acquires vehicles - pays the dotcoms - buys the clothes and the food - pays insurances - fixes his teeth - and on and on? 

Im not going to bother to mention all of the things brought to my attention. The pattern of behavior seems clear. However, I do want to make clear what was expressed to me through Social Services - since my husband thinks living my life the way I have is good enough. 

According to the Government - the definition of "homelessness" includes not only those 
residing in motels, hotels, emergency shelters, transitional housing, campgrounds, cars or public transportation stations; but those

WHO ARE LIVING WITH FRIENDS OR RELATIVES DUE TO ECONOMIC HARDSHIP.

It is humiliating to have to answer questions likeYou have no money in a bank account?  NO sir, I no longer have a bank account. Do you have a vehicle? No sir, I lost it. And you are living in someone elses home? Yes sir, I sleep on a childs bunk bed. It hurts my back and my hip but it is the way it is.
And your husband is where? I dont know at this moment, sir. Apparently, he and his mistress move around a lot. 

I certainly dont see anything changing for me now, as nothing can make this man change if he thinks he does nothing wrong. I gave him 34 years of my life and I was left to live like the dogs, my husband - suddenly this charitable individual - has set out on a course of wanting to help them find homes. That in itself seems pretty ironic!  

Breck Waters/Doug Pittman/Gene Pittman has had various company race team names for NASCAR sponsorship (?) to help save pets, and most recently he has his mistress with her name on a non-profit to save pets. 

And if things couldnt be any more bizarre, I received some screen shots of the mistress defending Casey Anthony. Apparently, the mistress was acquainted with the tot mom, and expressed that Casey would not have lied to her! Seriously? 

Adding to that, my husband made a video regarding Casey and Caylee and is offering it for your $20.00 donation on their charitable non-profit website - to help save pets in the name of Caylee - because Caylee liked dogs. AgainSeriously?  
Also on the same website they are defending the infamous Finger Kid Matthew Bartlett - from the Anthony trial.

An online news magazine described the tot mom as a self-absorbed individual  with a calculating mindset who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. So my husband and his mistress with their own questionable behavior, defend the likes of Casey Anthony. 

Im shaking my head, but Im not surprised.

Still waiting for my money

#12Author of original report

Wed, December 31, 2008

I received a letter from Breck Waters in November of 2006 stating that he would pay me back the $2200.00 that he still owes me. In two days I will scan this letter and post it on ROR. In the letter he states that he will pay me $50 per month until balance is zero. To date I have not received one penny from this man. In my opinion this man is nothing more than a scam artist. I am still waiting for my money and I want it. I will not stop until I receive every penny that this man owes me.

There are No Divorce Proceedings

#12Consumer Suggestion

Thu, September 04, 2008

Ripoff Report is not a website dealing with divorces, and should in no way be used in an attempt to make an excuse for the facts.

The facts regarding Doug Pittman (Breck Waters); accessible through legal websites; and the actions of Mr. Pittman (Waters); were presented so that any future dealings with Pittman (Waters) might be considered; affording any business entity the right to make an informed decision. This is the purpose of Ripoff Report.

On behalf of Mrs. Pittman, there have been no divorce proceedings filed, nor have there been any filed in 2 years.

If Pittman has left the Orlando area for Peyton Colorado, he would have done so in the last 2 weeks; to which he would have to wait, once again, to meet residency requirements, to even file for divorce.

This would make 4 states that Pittman has claimed as his residence in the past 2 years.

Mr. Pittman (Waters), at this time, no longer has racenfans.com as an operating website, and the number from which he could be contacted has been disconnected.

Message Received

Sun, August 31, 2008

I recieved a message this morning August 31, 2008 informing me that my husband Doug Pittman, does possess a Driver's License. If that indeed is true, then I stand corrected. However, the Las Vegas Justice Court still lists the tickets as unpaid on this date.

Since all states have a reciprocal database from which the DMV has access; it would seem that his licensure would be that rare instance of one that slipped through the system.

Doug Pittman aka Breck Waters

#12Consumer Suggestion

Sun, August 31, 2008

Because of the policy of ROR in removing my email address for contact, I am left with having to respond within their website.

I am the wife of Doug Pittman/ Breck Waters and I have been left homeless since October 2007 - after 34 years of marriage.

And Yesterday, Everything I had left was auctioned off because Doug Pittman/Breck Waters claimed he has been unable to pay the $167.00 a month storage fee.

Mr. Pittman walked out on our marriage and left me on the streets of Las Vegas; not once but twice. After being evicted from the home we shared, I went to Virginia to stay with our daughter; listening to promise after promise of helping me get on my feet. I was not only his wife but worked for his company and therefore had nothing on which to fall back.
He then after 9 months; found me a house in Vegas and I travelled 3,000 miles back there only to discover I had done so on a bounced check and could not take possession of the house for 2 days.

Over the next 3 months the rent was paid late and finally in October 2007 I was evicted from yet another home; a home in which I had slept on the floor for 3 months and was unable to find employment for myself. At the age of 58, I was trying to find a way to start my life over.
The transmission in my car - after two 3,000 mile trips - was slipping with the fluid pouring out onto the garage floor - and there were no funds to fix it.
The house he found for me in Sun City was 3 miles from the nearest bus stop.
As I was being evicted, Mr. Pittman had contacted AAA Movers online for an estimate on moving to Orlando Florida from Hugo Minnesota with his mistress. He and his 30 year old mistress now reside in the Orlando area.

Mr. Pittman had left Nevada - with his mistress - after a Domestic Incident with me at our home in Henderson, on September 6. They moved to Hugo Minnesota and there - lived in two different houses valued at over $200,000. He also took a cruise to the Caymans with his mistress in February 2007 and apparently had planned another cruise in May which was listed on the Internet through a Las Vegas Cruise Company.

As for the money Ms. Olson invested in the bowling tournament, I did not know the transaction had taken place between them until my husband left our marriage. Her concern in mentioning it, was that she would never see the return of her money especially because of the situation at hand.
What transpired in the business deal between the other entity did not come to light until a month after my husband left Las Vegas.
He had told me about this couple approaching him to go in business together - but that it had not yet proceeded as planned.

After gaining access to my bank account online, I discovered he had received $12,500 in checks that were deposited into my account as a third party check(s) and my signature signed without my knowledge - and subsequently withdrawn from ATM's - mostly in casinos. I have hard copies of those three (3) checks, (as well as the copy of the bounced checked from the rental home in Las Vegas.)

The first check was signed in March after he met his mistress. The second check was signed when I was out of town for the birth of my grand-daughter. It was during this time that my husband had told his mistress and her family that he was in the middle of a divorce that I was completely unaware of; as my husband told me he loved me everyday. The third check was signed after Pittman left our marriage in July after I discovered he was having an affair with this female the age of our own daughter. It was at this time that he moved in with his mistress.

I was also able to get the previous 18 months of bank statements to see that I had been lied to concerning our finances; but what disturbed me the most was the fact that after I returned home from the birth of our grand-daughter, I ate canned peas and pineapple for 4 days - being told he was short of funds for a few days - only to discover that he had spent over $200 two days later on groceries at Vonn's in Henderson- and that food - did not come to my home.

Mr. Pittman has accused me of being behind the original rip-off report. He refuses to acknowledge that any investments or loans related to him - need to be paid back. When partners and/or investors are promised returns and are not - they have recourse for the wrong done them. The original ripoff report was not filed until 2 years after the original investment date - in which there had been ample time to repay the loan and the available funds as noted from bank records.

Mr. Pittman was also a partner in a Texas Corporation formed in 2000, called Gold Penny, in which a patent was assigned to the Company without my knowledge. His name has since been removed as an officer or partner without specific cause. He recently informed me that our patent had been sold to the corporation- again without my prior knowledge.
And for all the years I spent working on this - I have received nothing from its sale. and as of today the corporation is listed as 'Temporary Good Standing'. What will the corporation do because I have made mention here?

In October 2006 my husband was involved in a roll-over accident in which a Lisa Distler was driving. He collected a settlement this year, promising to use some of the money - again - to help me get on my feet. Another empty promise.

Several months ago, he claimed he had a new car which was purchased corporately through investors. He called me on two occasions claiming to be in Nashville and then in Charlotte - and that the trips were being covered from his new corporation. If he was collecting a salary from his own corporation - then why would I have to beg him for money for food and the storage payment - let alone a roof over my head.

I was recently informed that my husband - in just the past few months - has listed his company with Dunn & Bradstreet valued at $140,000.
If his company has that value, then how could he not afford to even pay $167.00 a month storage payment for his wife?

Mr. Pittman has accused me of trying to sabotage his new ventures. I have never attempted to contact any business venture my husband has been involved in since he left our marriage. I needed for him to succeed so that I could get on my feet and not lose what little I had left.

Yesterday, I lost it all anyway. Precious possessions belonging to my parents and grandparents. Things that can never be replaced - and I dare to say that Pittman is relieved that he no longer has a bill of $167.00 to worry about - and he and his mistress can spend a little more money enjoying their lives.

The information regarding his other Corporations and Judgements, (as noted in the original report) and Felony and Misdeameanor charges of Mr. Pittman's can be accessed through the State of Florida's Website.
He does have debts owed for which there were no judgements; in the amounts of $50,000 and $18,000 debt as well as several smaller ones. Also available are unpaid judgements within 'Courtgate' in the State of Nevada under the name of Doug Pittman and Breck Waters; and as yet still unpaid traffic charges in Las Vegas Justice Court from July 2006. The still open traffic charges would indicate that Pittman continues to operate a vehicle (of his mistress and his own) without a license.

My husband is a creative man - both for good and bad. For anyone doing business with him, it is imperative that you have access to everything he does - especially financial records. There must be a system of checks and balances and due diligence.

Though painful beyond words, yesterdays auction may be somewhat of a blessing. No longer can I be threatened over a payment not being made if I don't do one thing or another; or say one thing or another.
So unless he wants to take my car as well and leave me to park benches, he has nothing to hold over my head. I am free.
Or by responding to this report; after a year of being asked to dispute the truth in it - (which could not be done as the sources are recorded in various State websites;) Pittman/Waters can deny me any funds on which to eat.
Physically, my body has already suffered from improper nutrients and I have aged 10 years in the past 2 years because of all I have had to endure.

My husband has said that he would rather go to jail than give me a penny; and maybe I will never receive a thing for all the years of our marriage - but I have learned one thing, 'We are promised nothing in this world; even from those we have loved most of our lives.' I hope any woman will make sure she has a career - that in the event this happens to her - she can survive on her own.

After yesterday, my life is totally in God's hands.

Breck Waters a.k.a. Doug Pittman wrote me a letter at the end of 2006 stating that he was going to pay me the $2200.00 that he owes me. As of today March 19, 2008, I have not received one gold penney from him. In the letter he also stated that he obtained the money for his daughter Melissa and her husband Steven.

In my opinion if Breck Waters a.k.a. Doug Pittman is not going to pay the money back, his daughter and son-in-law should pay up. Also in the letter, he stated he had gotten the money for several reasons other than what it was for, all to try to avoid fraud charges, (which have already been filed). Investors or sponsors be sure to check out ALL of this guy's background and patterns of behavior before investing any money in any of his ventures. NASCAR beware.
