Ua ʻōlelo nā mākaʻi ua hiki i nā mea hoʻopunipuni ke ʻaihue i ke kālā mai nā haneli o ka poʻe i loko o ka scam kokoke i ʻewalu mahina.
Wahi a ka luna mākaʻi kūloko, ua holo ka hui i kā lākou scam ma ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā kamaʻāina i hele mai i loko o ka ʻāpana hoʻopunipuni e waiho i nā hoʻopiʻi me nā mākaʻi.
