Not all policy offers are what they seem. At Groups R Us, we believe that every South African deserves to make informed choices — without being misled or pressured. That’s why we’re here to help you spot the red flags in fake or suspicious policy offers.

🚩 1. Promises of Grant Increases

One of the biggest warning signs is when someone tells you your SASSA grant will increase if you take out a policy. This is not true. No legal policy can guarantee a higher grant payout. If you hear this, walk away and report it.

🚩 2. Food Parcels or Gifts in Exchange for Sign-Ups

If someone offers you food parcels, airtime, or any free gift just for signing up, be careful. These tactics are used to pressure vulnerable people into policies they don’t understand or need. A good policy should stand on its own — no bribes required.

🚩 3. No Clear Information or Written Documents

Always ask for everything in writing. If the person can’t provide clear documentation, policy terms, or a cooling-off period, that’s a serious red flag. You have the right to take time, read, and understand before signing anything.

🚩 4. Pressure to Sign Up Immediately

Honest agents will never pressure you. If someone says “This offer is only available right now” or makes you feel rushed, it’s often a sign they don’t want you to think too hard about it. Take your time. Ask questions. And don’t sign anything on the spot.

🚩 5. Confusing or Vague Explanations

If you’re left feeling confused, that’s not your fault — it’s theirs. A trustworthy provider will make sure you fully understand what you’re paying for, what’s covered, and what happens if you miss a payment. Clarity is key.

Stay Informed, Stay Safe

We take your trust seriously. We’ll never make false promises, use pressure tactics, or trade in confusion. If you’re unsure about a policy offer you’ve received, come speak to us. We’ll help you understand what’s real — and what’s not.
