BEWARE- Federation of ROYAL MAYA SCAM, KING PHILIP IV, aka Philip Joseph Cotrone , Garfield, Arkansas

This "King Philip IV’” Scam has been running since 2016, and has fooled, and taken in, even the most experienced of investors, businessmen, and those that want to believe in the "Fantasy”, Royalty, and a new sovereign country. The story goes something like this: A new sovereign nation, located on three islands on the north side of Cuba, appeared in 1997, per an alleged sovereign treaty with Cuba. Out of no where, Cotrone, an adopted Haitian immigrant living in the hills of Arkansa, comes into possession of this property and a "nation”, creates a Constitutional Monarchy on his computer, and declares himself King of a sovereign nation with no citizens or residents.

He further claims that various sources have "given” him gold assets, bonds, and other treasures that he will be utilizing to restore his Mayan indigenous peoples in the Caribbean, and drive a humanitarian, peaceful, and growing "Kingdom” for "his people” on the islands of Royal Maya. The man, by all accounts of those interviewed, is apparently extremely persuasive, a born salesman, charismatic (over the phone, as no one generally meets with him), and extremely articulate.

Here is where the story stops, and the unfortunate truth is eventually exposed to all that he "Sucks into a Vortex of his Royal Illusions” and has lied incessantly to everyone he meets.

This guy conned my daughter

He was such an obvious con we tried to show her how ridiculous all his claims were but she wouldn’t see it. He must of gotten more sophisticated since then about 9 years ago because at that point he was a successful music star, I can’t begin to tell you all the bullshit he said and she believed. She is gullible as hell

Typical Government games

In my opinion, this guy is not a con-man. I have done some due diligence into his "Royal Maya" and made a few phone calls. This is my finding.

1. He has these gold bonds which ARE REAL sovereign government backed bonds from Peru and Chile.

2. Upon calling the Department of State for the USA, nobody will congirm or deny his legitimacy over the phone. (Screams operative)

3. Cuba will not publically dissovow "Royal Maya." They do not want to prove or disprove the legitimacy for fear of reprisal or a revolution I would assume.

4. I am not saying he is or isnt real, but I do know this, Nobody with some real power will dissavow him. When THAT happens and he is publically torn down, then I will believe he is a scammer. Until then, all of the posts against him are all the same in their wording and sounds like someone who is butthurt about something. Lets just watch and see.

I smell rascism

None of these accusations make any sense. Of you call the governments of the United States and Cuba, they dont deny him.

Second, all of the complaints are the same just with a few edits. I smell a rat. Someone is mad at him. I say we sit back and watch. The person above is clearly a bot. It is sad when people attack a person because they are trying to do right and help the world and refugees. He is black from Haiti,

Don't buy into the scam!

This guy is a total scammer. This supposed legal paperwork is generally typed up on his home computer, the big important conference phone calls are a giant circle of one guy thinking the other might be important, so he repeats what Philip has told him to, creating a circle of lies, which in turn *almost* gives credibility. The amount of times this guy "forgets his wallet" after an expensive dinner is uncanny, but mixed with his trouble paying rent & utilities, is almost sad. Lying/conning women seems to be his specialty... sometimes 3-4 at a time! I've seen two photo ID's with a ten year discrepancy and spoke to as many women who have been asked to carry his child, to be the "heir to the (imaginary) throme". Red flags everywhere with this joker!

We here on Oregon there is about 35 plus people that Phillip had lied and scammed on! For Phillip promising us sun moon and stars yes a verbal contract Phillip gave to all of us! .. yes! I the writer of the message got zipped by him as well, Phillip promised to pay me, for his grand mother had passed, leaving him big sum of money, So he said! then took my Airplane promised to pay for, when he got back home! Got ghosted by Phillip so Two years or so later I received a call about a Aircraft that was for sale on Facebook Phillip scammed a the new owner out of his boat and some cash. Phillip stold from the “now new owner” (Phillip never returned all the cash as well! Boat not sure!) Phillip said to the now new owner that there was a “little” paper work problem he would fix up and clear! Big Giggles, how can one sell a aircraft with out a WET INK SIGNATURE signed bill of sale Phillip stole it from me! In which is grand theft Then was trying to sell it! Needed to sell or he would scrap it! Then I found Phillip ripped off a man in Columbia, South America! I talk directly to him! Phillip took advantage! If I remember right, for around 18K the banking is totally different in Columbia so … Mr. TC was stuck having to repay the bank back a little at a time! If you would like to know if Phillip is lying watch his lips closely, if moving even a little he’s lying very dishonest person all the way on every turn.. One experience I had at the bank with Phillip, he screamed about money that was gifted to two of us and was pissed when he found out we got a gift from a friend! One older couple Phillip conned them out of quite a bit of funds as well that I do know about! Phillips lady friend Angela is such a very kind lady! Phillip took her for a huge amount of money as well in the 35K range! Save your self get away from Phillip save your money! Then one can, be well and you will prosper! Happy to see the true truth come out on the Fake King! Phillip needs a time out (jail cell) to calm down in, to stop financially hurting people! Thank you for reading my opinion! Sorry it’s so stinky It was about little fake king Phillip a want to be! Oh king’ie where are your bonds? Who is holding them today? You lose evildoer! big giggles this whole island thing is a total scam! Where is one’s authentic  “WET INK SIGNATURE” on claim deed of said property? Oh not a printer copy! and all this is my “truthful opinions!
