** Who is Paul David Schmaukel & What's Wrong with "Property Tonga"? **

PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL is an expatriate resident of Ma'ufanga, Nuku'alofa, Tonga and the owner and operator of "Property Tonga". He met with Invest In Tonga, LLP back in 2009 with the hopes of convincing them to list some of his personal holdings in Vava'u, which they refused to do for various reasons. Perhaps old grudges die hard ...

PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL professes to be involved in "customer service and property management" for "Property Tonga"; however, he is in reality a real estate agent and semi-one-man show as scammer DAVID MULLISS lives in Australia full-time.

On their realty website it claims that, "Property Tonga" is also supported by legal professionals, maintenance and construction tradespeople, and advertising and marketing gurus".

DAVID MULLISS is a so-called "advertising and marketing guru" he speaks of. And, come to think of it, perhaps Mr. Mulliss is indeed a guru, a guru along the lines of all those far eastern scam-artists who take advantage of innocent people and callously defraud them!

In regards to "legal professionals", PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL uses the Stephenson law firm, a firm that is known for not only trying to convince its clients to only acquire government leases rather than legal tenancy agreements, despite the fact that they know Tongan government leases are little more than bait-and-switch documents whereas legal tenancy agreements are able top be written in stone and never amended without the written consent of BOTH the lessor and lessee!

Tongan government leases are also written in Tongan, which overseas investors obviously cannot understand. They also contain a provision that allows the Tongan government to arbitrarily assign an annual lease fee AFTER the original contract has been agreed to by the lessee. On top of this, such government leases also contain a provision that allows the Tongan government to arbitrarily RAISE the annual lease amount at their whim, with no rhyme or reason needed!

Legal tenancy agreements however are legally binding personal contracts between the landholder and the renter and fall under "contract law" rather than "land law". As such, they can be written in such a way as to be concrete and unable to be amended. What this means is that overseas investors can sign a contract written in their native language which they understand, and one that has LOCKED-IN lease fees or even non-existent annual fees, which either never increase or increase by a set amount each year, an amount that such investors agree to BEFORE signing the contract!

There may not be a person on this planet foolish enough to rent a home in their home country, based on an agreement that is written in a language they don't understand and which allows the renter to increase the rental fees at their whim, yet the Stephenson law firm recommends their clients agree to signing such documents in Tonga!

PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL is also known to work with Christine Utu'atu and her accounting firm. Christine has a very checkered past, was named in the Royal Land Commission report, and operates her own real estate company known as "Pacific Property, Ltd.". Recently she has been accused by the original realtor in Vava'u, Tonga, an expatriate by the name of Robert Bryce, owner of "www.SouthPacificRealestate.to"of fraud and malpractice concerning her accounting duties and of trying to secretly have Mr. Bryce's realty business shut down as it was in competition to her own, despite Mr. Bryce employing her as his accountant!

Today, PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL and his realty website seem to be floundering, and therefore DAVID MULLISS' scam whereby he attempted to ruin Peteni Falefo'ou's "Invest In Tonga, LLP" and prop up he and Mr. Schmaukel's "Property Tonga" through deceit, fraud and plain and simple THEFT, may have been just the shot in the arm Mr. Mulliss and Mr. Schmaukel needed to make some more money off unwitting overseas investors!

** WHO IS DAVID MULLISS? **

David Mulliss is a Warwick, Queensland, Australia resident who operates various businesses offshore in the South Pacific island nation of Tonga. He runs the "Touch of Tonga" website and developed and markets various Tongan web-based businesses as well.

He also secretly owns & manages the "Property Tonga" website, though he claims Paul David Schmaukel is the owner - perhaps to avoid paying taxes on his income - or to simply STEAL other listings from companies they way he did from Tongan Peteni Falefo'ou (more on this below)!

He has single-handedly DESTROYED poor Tongan "commoner" families ability to lease their property in order to earn much needed funds for their struggling families and to further their children's education!

Currently he works as a pre-press employee of APN Print on Kenilworth Street in the Axis Industrial Estate in Warwick, Queensland, Australia.

BEWARE of DAVID MULLISS!!!!!!!

 
** WHAT HAS DAVID MULLISS DONE? **

In early 2014 DAVID MULLISS agreed to purchase the Invest In Tonga, LLP realty business. He submitted a down-payment and agreed to pay the remaining balance over time - and even more importantly - to help co-owner and Tongan national Mr. Peteni Falefo'ou in running the business, with a focus on customer service and web development.

However, once DAVID MULLISS was allowed access to the website and business files, he removed the property listings, store page and the like and replaced the previous site with a mere placeholder site, directing viewers to a real estate business known as "Property Tonga" which is owned by Mulliss and his expatriate business partner, PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL. This site even began displaying Mr Falefo'ou's listings that belonged to he and Invest In Tonga, LLP!

** How David Mulliss' SCAM Has Injured Poor Tongan "Commoner" Families **

TODAY there are many Tongan land holders who have almost assuredly had their best chance at a better financial future for their families, and the ability to see their children educated, stripped from them, due to the actions of DAVID MULLISS!

DAVID MULLISS has callously and audaciously seemingly sentenced many Tongan mothers and fathers to a subsistence based life and their children to a future with no real hope of furthering their education!

Make no mistake about it, many Tongan commoners are DIRT-POOR! However, many of them also have beautiful plantations, some of which have gorgeous ocean views or even ocean-frontage. These poor folks most realistic chance of getting out of poverty and educating their children seemingly resides in leasing their land to overseas investors, as they have very little else of any real value. This is why so many of these poor people asked Peteni Falefo'ou of Invest In Tonga, LLP to market their properties and do his best to find someone to lease such properties.

However, now that DAVID MULLISS has stolen Mr. Falefo'ou's listings and deleted the website in favor of pointing people to the competing realty website he and PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL operate, these poor Tongan commoner's properties have been erased and no overseas investor can even find them!

What DAVID MULLISS has done is unethical, immoral and must be exposed!!!

** David Mulliss' Theft & Paul David Schmaukel's Hypocrisy **

It should be clear after reading the above that DAVID MULLISS committed theft and ran a scam that has effectively stolen Tongan national Peteni Falefo'ou's hard work and ability to earn an income for his large Tongan family, as well as his ability to lease properties for many other Tongan commoners - who are in severe need of finances for their own families - as well as their children's continuing education.

In regards to PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL and his connection to the entire scam, and supposed insistence on working with the Stephenson law firm and offering only government lease properties; such is nothing more than a charade! Case in point: Schmaukel is currently trying to sell the Café Tropicana aka Tropicana Café in Vava'u, Tonga. That business, aside from being ridiculously over-priced (if the same business with exact same financials and assets were in an average American state it may sell for $50,000 or so ... if it would only bring $50,000 in the U.S.A. it should only bring maybe $25,000 in 3rd world Tonga), does NOT come with a government lease but a mere tenancy agreement!

Paul David Schmaukel and David Mulliss own and operate their realty business together and therefore both Paul David Schmaukel and David Mulliss are GUILTY of DECEPTION, THEFT and UNETHICAL, IMMORAL and downright ILLEGAL actions!

BEWARE OF PAUL DAVID SCHMAUKEL!!!!!!!
