Now is your chance to start winning prizes with TheClassifieds for doing almost nothing. This week we’re kicking off the first of our competitions which we will be running on a regular basis (that’s a hint to start reading this blog often or to join our Facebook page where you will get all the latest news).

This week our competition is a Scam Hunt!

Somewhere on TheClassifieds.co.za we have posted an advert that appears to be a scam. You will need to find this advert based on the clues we give you. Once you’ve found it you simply need to use the contact form on the advert to enter the competition draw OR email us at: info@theclassifieds.co.za with the advert ID.

…


So it’s simple. All you need to do is:

1. Follow the clues below and find the fake scam advert they’re referring to.

2. Contact us with the advert ID.

Once you’ve followed those 2 simple steps, you’ll be entered into our random draw to win the awesome prize.

And that prize is?

The prize up for grabs this week is a R1500 voucher from Kulula.com which can get you flights, accommodation or car hire across the country.

So what are the clues?

1. I live, I breathe and I’m a warm blooded pile of fur often associated with Siberia but my location is currently in the Western Cape.
2. It is URGENT that you find me because I’m being offered up for free.
3. My picture was taken professionally and I have a purple backdrop.
4. My advert looks like most scams you’ll see in this category.
