Impropriety in online transactions
First Ithuba refuses to refund the top-up funds that I deposited into my Ithuba account (R234-66) because I refused to upload sensitive personal information and then when I decide to play lotto online via a trusted financial institution there is no guarantee that the tickets I have paid for are actually entered into the draw since the numbers were never sent through to me. I bought lotto tickets to the value of R40 on 4 November 2023 through a financial banking institution and the money was immediately deducted from my account but the numbers (the goods) were never sent through to me. According to the banking institution it's Ithuba's responsibility to send through the numbers to the players. A transaction is only a transaction once the goods (numbers entered into the draw) have been received after payment has been made. I only received confirmation of the numbers that were 'supposedly' entered into the draw after I complained to my bank, i.e. 5 days after the ''transaction' had apparently been concluded, which, for all intent and purposes, could have been generated after the draw had already taken place. I wonder how often this has happened to other unsuspecting players who have in good faith paid for tickets that were not entered into the draw. I don’t know how Ithuba manages to get away with it but I will never play the lottery online again and I don’t know how banking institutions can continue to support them!

Draconian measures used to force players to comply with the National Lottery's new verification processes
When I tried to buy lottery tickets on Ithuba National Lottery's website on 19 January 2023 with funds that I had previously deposited into their account I was prevented from doing so UNLESS I was prepared to upload sensitive personal documentation for their 'verification' processes. I then requested their call centre agent to delete my account once they had reimbursed me and they insisted that I forward an email to them advising the reasons for the deletion/closing of my account. They did not bother to READ any of the emails that had been sent through to them explaining the reason for wanting to delete my account which was that I was not prepared to upload any of my sensitive personal documentation for ‘their’ verification purposes. I do not buy lottery tickets on credit! I’m not applying for credit, renting or buying a property, renting of buying a car or dealing with a bank. I use their website purely for on-line gambling purposes and for convenience sake and I only buy tickets after I have already transferred the funds directly into their account. With online scamming becoming the new norm I am not prepared to upload personal documentation as there is a likelihood that it could fall into the wrong hands and used for fraudulent activities, which is not convenient for me. They already have my ID and cell number and if that is not good enough for them then it is also not good enough for me. I currently have R234.66 in my account and I would have liked to have used these funds to buy lottery tickets until my funds were depleted. Unfortunately, I am being prevented from doing so as their new ‘verification’ process insists that I first upload my personal documentation, which I believe is an act of coercion and which I am not prepared to comply with. I have explained all of this to them telephonically and via email but it seems to be a case of feigned ignorance. The more emails I send them trying to explain to them that there are a lot of online fraud cases and identity theft nationally and internationally the more responses I receive from them requesting me to upload my personal documentation. This personal documentation wasn't deemed necessary when I first registered with them many years ago and when I transferred funds into their account quite recently but now, suddenly, out of the blue, it has become a case of no uploading of personal documentation, no play! With the proviso that I upload my personal documentation, requests for a refund have fallen on deaf ears. PAY BACK MY MONEY! A very dissatisfied and disillusioned ex-customer

PAY BACK THE MONEY!!!
Unethical business practices. I erroneously deposited my worker's Xmas bonus into their account in December 2021 as I had previously applied for a Visa on his behalf. After realising that I had deposited the money into the incorrect banking account I contacted them for a refund. They demanded affidavits, proof of payment and an ID but after I had forwarded them all the relevant documentation they have continued to ignore my request for a refund.

Good Industry Practice
HostAfrica’s “Good Industry Practice” Clause in its terms and conditions is true to its word. Its prompt overnight response, reaction and speedy resolution to a report on a breach of this clause speaks volumes about its integrity. It is seldom nowadays that one comes across a company like HostAfrica that actually practices what it preaches.

Scammer Alert Go Kitty Breeders
Scammer Alert Go Kitty Breeders is yet another website that sells non-existent kittens to the unsuspecting public. They supply you with a physical street address that they know is not within reach e.g. Upington in the Northern Cape and then offer to courier their non-existent kittens to you. I had their last physical address checked out and the occupants had never heard of Aletta De Villiers (which I assume is a fake name). Same modus operandi as my reports on Cats and Kittens Paradise, Fancy Kittens4homes and Angelickittens4homes.

Kitten scammers
Please refer to my review of Cats and Kittens Paradise.co.za. They have now sourced an additional website with a new name, i.e. Fancy Kittens 4 Homes or sales@fancykittens4homes.co.za. Different name but same scammers. They are apparently now using a stolen ID document of an old lady from Pharaborwa. Cats and Kittens Paradise is a fraudulent website. They send photos of kittens for sale but you cannot view the merchandise since we are on coronovirus lockdown. They claim to have a special permit to transport the pets during lockdown. They provided the following physical street address: 19 Lilyvale St Rayton, Bloemfontein, 9332 Bloemfontein, Free State. When I couldn't reach them on the cellphone as it went to voicemail they provided another number but said the reception was always poor. To gain my confidence they sent through a copy of a South African ID and all the emails were sent using the gmail address in the name of the person whose ID they had stolen. They requested an instant money transfer as they said that the bank that I was tranferring the money from, Standard Bank, always had issues. I paid a deposit of R1850 into their FNB bank account and never heard from them again. They also tried to convince me to send through a copy of my ID to apparently register the kitten in my name. Copies of White female ID's seem to be at the top of their list.
