Buying land from my first cousin (back in a town where I come from), complete with 3-bedroom permanent house and a store. He was living there before moving out to new acquired land nearby.
When he eventually informed me that he had moved out, I went there to tidy up my new property, ready to have a caretaker, who would look after the house as I'm away in Nairobi, only to find a totally new person occupying the place. Complete with his wife and children and family car!!!
I took up the case, which has never ended to date, but clearly I was conned... It turned out that my cousin did not clear with the previous owner, and the "owner" took back the house and refunded my cousin his money and resold the plot and house!!!
I'm still chasing him for my money to date...

offshore stocks. I think the broker was a conman cz he built a house after blaming the dollar. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Paying for landing! I spend $400 one time for these fine looking airport, only to touch down once, it took less than 2 minutes to touch down and after that the plane couldn't take off again for the next touch down, I slapped myself a few times but man, that airport look great but........!

Yeah! Man everytime I think about it, it sucks more.... but you know there are those times you just want to land and it doesn't matter how much it cost and that was those times! But you know all these airports are all the same, runway is runway, JFK or Kisumu airport, they're all runways, yea the could be a few pothole in Kisumu but still it is a runway!

To you the fee was justified only that the take off gear Mal-functioned  Anyway, 33K is far much more than the 10K pledged sometimes back for a MORE worthy cause!!!
