Voyeur Capital, LLC Principal Contact: Shawn Donovan, Shawn Kent, Shawn Green Scam, Fraud, Takes underwriting fees for Real Estate refinancing. Disappears with no closing, and no refund Chicago, Illinois
Our firm, through warm contacts was introduced to Voyeur Capital, LLC, which purportedly was based in Chicago. Our primary contact was a gentleman by the name of Shawn Donovan, who we found out later also goes by the names Shawn Green, and Shawn Kent.
We went through the due diligence process with this company. They asked for a variety of financial disclosure (which seemed on the up and up). After their alleged "due diligence" they issued Letters of Commitments for various real estate refinancing projects we delivered to them. The Terms were favorable but not so favorable that we would become suspicious. As part of their LOC, underwriting fees were required. We delivered 3 deals to them wiring total underwriting fees in the amount over $30,000. The fees were to be delivered (less travel expenses) should the deal be unable to get funded. Voyeur then sent us their wiring instructions which was to TD bank. "Shawn" was in contact 2-3 times a week. Giving us regular updates, even requesting additional information which is typical in such a transaction. On two of the deals, "Shawn" came out to inspect the sites, take pictures of the properties, etc. Everything was moving forward as expected. However, at the date of closing, he informed all parties involved that they needed an additional 2 weeks to get our first deal funded. At the 2nd deadline, he again apologized and informed us that they needed an additional 2 weeks to get funding. All the while, "Shawn" was contacting us at least 2-3 times a week with updates. Finally on the 3rd closing deadline date, "Shawn" and Voyeur Capital did not show, respond or call. It has been more than a week now with no response, no email updates, no contact whatsoever. Our office has sent voicemails, emails, and letters of demand for refund from our clients. Still no response. Now the Voyeur website is down, "Shawn's" voicemail is full so that we are unable to leave a message, and he has not responded to text despite the fact that we have stated we are moving forward with criminal action and have already contacted the FBI. To our knowledge Voyeur has defrauded individuals (brokers, attorneys, etc) in the amount of at least $50-60,000. Who knows how many more are out there that we do not know of.
If anyone has had contact or a similar experience with Voyeur Capital or "Shawn Donovan" please do not hesitate to contact our office. We will be happy to cooperate with you in any way possible.
