Cory DuVall is a 23-year-old who resides in Mississippi with his parents.


He came to our attention in 2007 when he came to Prosper.com, a peer-to-peer lending site, seeking to borrow a large sum of money for some flaky get-rich-quick schemes.

He eventually succeeded in obtaining a four digit loan which, by his own admission, he blew on new clothes and shoes.  He then proceeded to default on his loan.

The story would end there, except for the fact that DuVall has recently returned to the same lenders he defrauded in 2007 seeking additional money for new get-rich-quick schemes.  The latest includes a website at www.thestoryofcory.com  He is attempting to sell $100 subscriptions to this site, in return for updates of his attempt to live in a car for a year.  This is the latest in a number of scams he has attempted in 2009, none of which have succeeded, although he still keeps trying to obtain more money from the very same people he ripped off.

If you encounter this individual on the web, DO NOT GIVE HIM MONEY.  

There are numerous indications that Cory Duvall may suffer from a variety of personality disorders.  For his latest scam, he has been bragging that he's no rip-off artist because nobody has ever filed a report on him at Rip-Off Report.

So, consider this the official report.

2012 Rebuttal

AUTHOR: Cory2012 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Thursday, June 14, 2012

Would the individual who filed this ripoff report contact me by email at (((ROR redacted)))

And again, everything in this rip off report is false. There was never any malicious intentions, fraud, scam, trickery, or anything similar on my part.

Whoever filed this report report either:

A) Really believes his accusations are true.

B) Wrote the blog and the report for his personal satisfaction out of some sort of personal vendetta, anger, or resentment towards me (or, again, pure personal satisfaction). If B, then I do not know what caused it and am unaware of whatever I did to him. If he believes I am aware of the cause of his actions, he should know that I am not. As I said, there was never any wrong doing on my part. Not intentionally, at least. What I'm saying is that I never intentionally tried to do wrong to him or anyone else. Either he is a bad person at heart or sadly mistaken as to what exactly happened. As far as consequences for my actions, well, there were no actions that need or should have consequence considering the circumstances. That's not me creating an excuse or trying to justify myself, either. That's the truth, at heart. My words and actions were in self-defense, not offense. I felt attacked and put on an internet act/mask.

Either way, I'm right and innocent of this mans accusations.

Of course I said some things that I should not have said, true, but never with any malicious intentions.

Contact me as soon as possible to discuss this matter.

Original Ripoff Report on Cory Duval is Accurate

AUTHOR: Former Prosper Lender - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 19, 2010

I see Cory Duval has showed up to "set the record straight"


I'm glad he did, because I had misspelled his name in the original report.  The correct spelling of his name is CORY DUVAL His dob is 11-17-1985.  He resides in Mississippi.  His email address is 10levelsup@gmail.com.

Since the original report was filed, Cory Duval has continued to try to convince people that stealing $1250 from Prosper lenders is no big deal, because it is a "small" amount, not worth getting upset over.

However, he has admitted that his loan request was a scam from the beginning, and that he intended to defraud the lenders.  You can read him taunting the lenders here:

http://therealstoryofcory.blogspot.com

This blog is a compendium of posts relating to his ripoff.  More will be added if Cory Duval does not repay the $1250 he has stolen, and apologize to the lenders (despite his insistences here, he has not)  There is a large body of saved material chronicalling his attempts to get money from strangers on the internet in the wake of his fraud.

As for his rebuttal, while it shows some of his colorful personality disorder in action, I will reply to the points he raises.

1. I am not trying to make Cory Duval "look bad", I am simply informing users of the internet that he has a track record of asking strangers for money and not paying it back.

2. I did not take any positive and turn it into a negative in the Report.  I took negatives, and reported them.

3. I have never posted anything to this guy's MySpace, I don't know where he gets that from.  Nobody is stalking him, he came back to us on his own.

4. He is lying about the circumstances surrounding his loan (read his own words on the blog I linked)

5. He is right, a normal person would not return to the lenders one defrauded.  However, he did not do so to apologize, he did so to ask for more money.  Since he refuses to acknowledge this, his posts at prospers.org have been archived and will be added to the blog.  That way, he can see what he said with his own eyes.

6. He is right when he bragged nobody had filed a Rip-Off report on him; when we saw that, we felt it was time to file one.  To steal money, come back for more, and then brag that there's no ripoff reports on him is beyond the pale.  Before it came to this, he was warned to go away, he was warned not to ask for money, he was told to apologize, and he was given multiple chances to avoid the course of action it has become necessary to take.

Nobody *wants* to ruin a 24-year-old's life.  He is ruining it himself, despite some very good advice/very strong warnings.  This young man needs to learn that his actions do indeed have consequences.

So: The Ripoff Report shall remain for the rest of time.  All of it is accurate, none of it is "false" and stay tuned at therealstoryofcory.blogspot.com for more information as it is made available.

My advice to Cory is: do not come anywhere near any Prosper lender, stop harassing people for money on the internet, give up your get-rich-quick schemes and get an honest job, which you have refused to do for three years.

If you encounter Cory Duval, dob 11-17-19**, on the internet, do NOT give this individual any money.

False

AUTHOR: Cory2010 - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, January 19, 2010

I'll have to respectfully correct this report and reveal this individuals true intentions. He is lying, exaggerating, twisting positive into negative, and intentionally wording his report in a way that is aimed at making me look bad. In all truth, I'm not sure what has caused this personal vendetta against me, but I hope it can be worked out. Please note that the individual filing this rip-off-report has threatened to create "meme's" and reports that will be displayed in Google's search results and has also been stalking me on forums, message boards, Myspace, and others. He also mentioned his ability to collect information about me, but did not reveal the source. Clearly this is personal matter directed towards me and should in no way reflect badly on my website.

Long story short: I attempted to get a business loan from prosper. The loan was declined. I reacted very immaturely and went into a drunken rage after being drilled and shot down by a number of lenders on the forums. I recovered the best I could and tried again which was when I received a peer-to-peer loan in the amount of $1,250. The purpose of this second loan was to build credit and try a few small projects; The main lender was informed of this. I could not pay back the loan and defaulted. I spent some time growing and developing and then I came back to the forums and told everyone what happened, what I did with the money, where I was at now, and what I was trying to do.

That is when the individual filing this report began to make accusations that I defrauded the lenders. If this were true, I would of never returned to the forums and openly told everyone what happened, why I defaulted, where the money went, and then had the nerve to make a 3rd attempt. If these accusations held any truth at all then I would of tried to hide what happen, lied about what happen, never returned to the forums, and never apologized to the lender(s). That is what fraud is. Please note that my 2nd or 3rd post upon my return to the forum was an apology to one of the lenders who bid on my loan. Word for word "I'm sorry man, I let you down." -- that was before any accusations.

About 50 posts later I posted a link to a pitch I was making for bumper stickers and magnets. On the sale page I created a section titled "SCAM" in bright red. It stated that "If this were a scam my account would be reported and closed, people would be filing rip off reports..."

I'm assuming that is what gave this individual the idea to file a rip off report, because 2 days later he did just that. I guess he thought it would be comical for the lenders on the forums.

To sum it all up, this report is a joke. It's a personal attack that is using lies and twisted truths. It's exaggerated as a means of attack. A joke for a group of lenders to poke fun at.

"DO NOT GIVE HIM MONEY"

Consider this the official rebuttal.
