I know this is an old post but this is just so typical of the rip-offs that can be found in every corner of the WWW. Please note the government will take care of your 'feeding'. They can't feed themselves!

its amazing that the pre-requisites for a singing/music competition would include "occupation" and "education level" and not an audition video of what you can do musically??
just wondering if this so-called competition actually went ahead or if it was a scam like it appears to my suspicious nature???

Trust me CH, this is nothing but a badly planned scam. Please note 'win the ground prize' bit. Where is the SA government going to come up with 10 million USD as a prize for a music contest? Complete utter bullsh*t.
So the group is going to get 1 million USD for NOT winning - do these people think we are stupid?
'e.t.c' is another dead giveaway.
They are trying to get your phone number so that they can pull off some other scam they have lined up. The education and occupation bits are just there to blindside you. It's your mobile number they are after.

damn you dude, stop bursting my bubble.
I was told I had a long lost uncle who was a Nigerian Prince and left me 100million USD as an inheritance.
all they needed was my bank details to make a quick money transfer....
