| Fraud and theft of funds |
| 28th of Apr, 2012 by M. Lin |
While looking for an apartment I responded to an ad placed by Leopold Donchield on www.expatriates.com for the rental of an apartment at 50 Rue du Magistrat, Brussels.
After exchanging emails and phone calls with him, I visited the apartment on March 3, then went back on March 7th to sign a 12-month lease. The next day, I paid a security deposit and the first month's rent into his account. Unfortunately, there was nothing to indicate that he was not the owner.
The lease started on April 25; however, I am now unable to get in touch with Mr. Donchield: my phone messages and emails are unanswered. I went back to the apartment after it sunk in that I had been cheated; his name is no longer on the mailbox and no one answered the doorbell.
From a internet search, I have since found some information that would have given me pause if I was aware of it earlier. He purports to be a Cambridge educated independent financier who does business using various emails:
[email protected] <[email protected]>
[email protected] <[email protected]>
[email protected] <[email protected]>
Chambre À Louer <[email protected]> |

This guy is obviously a work-shy sociopath. He now has blogs and Facebook pages claiming that he is an African prince who owns an airline in Sierra Leone. In the meantime, he was recently sentenced to serve 18 months in prison in Brussels, Belgium for his apartment rental scam of last year. Unfortunately, he had already run away after a brief arrest. If anyone knows of his whereabouts, please reply.
The case was at the Justitiepalais, Poelaertplein, 1000 Brussel; the case reference is BR.43.1.7.2351-12. |

| Apologies to Leopold Donchield Zu Leone, we have confirmation that it was not Leopold Donchield Zu Leone, it was a man named Viktor Kamara who did steal Leopold Donchield Zu Leone's ID ( passport ) to do these rental transactions. Apologies to Leopold Donchield Zu Leone for our mistake |

| Direct apology to Leopold Donchield Zu Leone for mistaken identity. I have confirmation that it was not Leopold Donchield who was involved in these crimes, it was in fact a man named Viktor Kamara who did steal ID document belonging to Leopold Donchield Zu Leone. Sincere apoligies once again to Leopold Donchield for our mistake |
