ANC WARNS PUBLIC OF FAKE R300 CAMPAIGN GIVEAWAY AND URGES IMMEDIATE VIGILANCE
The African National Congress (ANC) is warning the public about a fraudulent message claiming that the organisation is offering an “instant free R300” as part of its 2026 election campaign. This offer is fake.
The ANC has not authorised or launched any such giveaway. The public must not click the accompanying link or links, respond to the message or share it with others. Do not provide your identity number, banking details, card information, passwords or one-time PINs.
Do not make any payment or pay a “processing fee” to claim the supposed R300. Legitimate organisations will not ask for sensitive banking information or one-time PINs through unsolicited messages. Anyone who has clicked the link, submitted personal information or disclosed banking details must contact their bank immediately using the bank’s official contact channels.
Monitor bank accounts and statements closely, change compromised passwords and report any suspicious transactions without delay to law enforcement.
The ANC condemns the abuse of its name and the exploitation of people through false promises. This scam could result in financial loss, identity theft and the misuse of personal information, while also undermining public trust. Members of the public should verify information through official ANC communication platforms before believing or sharing it. Report fraudulent messages, fake accounts and suspicious links to the relevant platform and law-enforcement authorities.
Do not forward the fraudulent offer, even as a warning. Protect yourself and your community. Verify before you share, do not click suspicious links, never disclose passwords or one-time PINs, and never pay to receive a promised benefit.
