Is Coty Duran a member on these boards? Scammer stole 10k in cards

Bobbyplaza133 · 08-15-2019, 07:31 PM

I AM NOT THE PERSON SCAMMED

Sorry if this isn't allowed here but I thought he may be a member here and that many members here are members at the other place this was posted at. There is a FB group, a large B/S/T group that has 10k members. This was posted today. The way he was talked about is he's been in the hobby for awhile and is well known. I just wanted to make sure other members were aware and safe from being scammed.

And this is why we can't have nice things.

Do favors ---> Build up trust ---> disappear off the face of the earth. The Haiku way.

Terrible. A good majority of those are serial numbered cards though. Good luck trying to launder those, scumbag.

I will now have a very hard time paying child support and affording my bills until I find another job.

I thought I was going to supply them until I was unfairly terminated from my job for being a "drug addict" I don't feel like I am a drug addict just for being in treatment, but I guess that's all perception.

I would be surprised that there are 2 Coty Duran's who both are in to high end cards.

His avatar ---> custody of children.

No please.

ballhawkdawk · 08-15-2019, 07:53 PM

OP you’re a very patient man... you handled the text exchange well. I hope you get your money / cards back, but it sounds like Coty is a drug addict, so chances are slim. Bummer all around.

This isn't me who got scammed. The mods posted it and since I know there is overlap here and there, I didn't want anyone else scammed

6celtics33 · 08-15-2019, 08:13 PM

Is this the first thread where we won’t see a white knight?

Obvious drug addict

Good riddance

TBarn291 · 08-15-2019, 08:25 PM

Wow..... I hadn't even seen this yet on FB. I am very familar with Coty. At one point we had added him as a admin in our FB group. We've done deals... he was doing breaks for his LCS. Mind blowing.....

hairyangryfella · 08-15-2019, 08:54 PM

Guessing he was 'Hungry like the Wolf'...

Sad for those involved, hope they get back what was taken.

Side note, Dylan who posted that is a douche who kicked me out of that group for a comment I made in a completely separate (local) group about being disappointed that the greed of the hobby had infected people here too.

AbraCalabro · 08-15-2019, 09:05 PM

Guy seems to have a sordid history/record...

KhalDrogo · 08-15-2019, 09:09 PM

Why did this guy have in his possession a bunch of cards that were owned by someone else?

minnesotachill · 08-15-2019, 09:10 PM

Seems he was subbing them to the grading companies

GeechQuest · 08-15-2019, 09:13 PM

This dude is an idiot. He’s done so many deals with people even I have his address. It’s not like he’s off the grid or unknown.

It sounds like he was acting as a warehouse of sorts for traders out of the country as well as a consignment place.

I see. Pretty interesting that there are people who will trust individuals with thousands of dollars in collectibles when said person can’t even use decent grammar. Forget the street begging on GoFundMe.

So like a PWCC Vault that makes PWCC look like a team of saints?

A courtesy reminder that not everybody on the interweb is your friend, even if they're on your IG buddy list or you've done previous transactions on good faith.

Be very careful out there, ya'll.

Lol.

Most international traders I deal with have a US address to send to as most don't ship outside the US. So I'm assuming he was set up like that.
