A 25-year-old Indian man is locked up without bail after swindling an 80-year-old Hawaii woman out of $137,000 in gold bars using a chilling scam: a fake Apple Support alert followed by a phony cop pressuring her to buy gold to “protect” her money.

2026/07/29

Hawaiʻi is now the nation’s worst when it comes to skyrocketing health insurance costs—family premiums have jumped over 50% in just a decade, far outpacing the national 36% average. With employees now paying nearly $6,500 annually for family coverage, the Aloha State’s already high cost of living just got tougher.
