A retired theology professor and former nonprofit executive got scammed out of over 23 grand by some guys in Harare who were supposed to help him clear building materials from customs. Kingston Kajese hired his nephew's company to manage construction for an office park project, and the nephew brought in a clearing agent who claimed the shipment fees would run close to 24 thousand dollars. The professor wired the cash to a bank account, but the crew doctored all the import paperwork to make it look like farm equipment instead of construction supplies so they could dodge the actual duty payments and pocket the difference.

Tax officials showed up months later, asking why the bill said agricultural gear when the shipment clearly had building materials, and that's when everything fell apart. One of the dealers is out on bail, while the others are waiting for their court dates after getting arrested when the clearing agent flipped on everyone.
