So an 'agent' from VodayPay phoned me about this competition they are running. Said I can choose between 3 boxes; A, B or C. I chose C and low and behold I won a prize - and not just 1 prize, I won 2 of them. 1st prize was R5,000 gift voucher at Game Stores, and 2nd prize was a Toyota Starlet 1.5XR which would be delivered today. But alas, nothing was delivered - no surprise really...

So no prizes and expenses incurred on my side because I was an idiot and didn't do my due diligence!!!

Do NOT fall for VodayPay competition ****s!

These agents requested that in order to get everything ready for the car that I won, I need to 1) pay R1,600 to get my VodaPay on a certain status, and 2) pay R3,400 for the insurance with outsurance for a year, the petrol card worth and some admin thing I think to register the car in my name. This I had to buy using the 1Voucher app on my banking app.
I guess it is this money R5,000 that they were after and that they stole from me!!!!
