DO NOT GIVE THEM A 10% DEPOSIT FOR A PROPERTY TRANSACTION. You will never see it again. And be sure to check to see the MOU details match the information at the Lands Department. Just because Smith and Ken agents have the ability to walk into an empty property, it does not mean they are representing a real transaction. They use title deed details from sellers who left during the 2008 crisis. By the time clients find out they are being scammed, the 10% deposit is cashed by Smith and Ken.
As we learn more about this company and their ties, we will be posted it on this websites and several others.
