Not the first, or second, or third person I've heard about being duped by a farming gig in Hawaii. People will buy fairly cheap, totally undeveloped forest tracts and lure unsuspecting people in who dream of "Hawaii". But, they usually don't dream of being deep in a forest, with no neighbors, an hour from the nearest part of the ocean, which you can't even swim in, nor even get to since you have no car and no access to public transit. All the while doing hard manual labor in a hot and humid environment for 16 hours/day while living in a tent or in literally just under a mosquito net hanging from a tree.

Oh my gosh! I didn't know this was a trend. This is somehow very reassuring to hear, all these years later. Thanks for mentioning this.
