Investigator sees possible scam with Akahi Nui


A Maui News letter warns that Akahi Nui could be a scam.

In reference to the letter "Owner of all island land is Akahi Nui" (April 28), you published information which appears on its face to be a farce.

If you try the telephone number listed in the letter, it connects through a "caller intercept-caller ID" process. The holder of that number is monitoring his calls and obtaining caller information before even accepting a call. There is no name or identity in the published letter to know who one is dealing with. Who really is "Majesty Akahi Nui"?

I see lots of scams. Every once in a while even a crazy scam hooks a victim. This particular letters sounds so crazy, it may even be dangerous. I would not want my elderly relatives to be in contact with this guy. Don't you think you owe the Maui public a duty to be a responsible publisher?
