UPDATE : After this article was published, the administrators of the Facebook page MEA Customer Survey reached out to Africa Check and said they had bought vouchers from Naivas and issued the vouchers to the winners of the competition as promised in the disputed post. Naivas authenticated the claims and subsequently pulled down their Facebook and Twitter posts that had labelled the competition as fake. A post shared on Facebook urges Kenyans to fill in a customer survey to win one of three vouchers to the Naivas supermarket chain, each worth KSh5,000. The 4 March 2020 post includes a link to a Google Form and says the competition is open from 4 to 18 March. This form then asks questions about preferred brands of home appliances and other electronics. Once you click submit a pop-up reads: Your response has been recorded please check your email to get the result! Africa Check filled in the survey but received no email response. So is this competition legit? We checked. Naivas say competition fake Naivas has dismissed the claim on their official Twitter account . The company posted a screenshot of the Facebook post, with FAKE stamped in red across it. The tweet read: This is NOT from us. DO NOT BE CONNED! KAA RADAR! Kaa radar is Kiswahili for stay alert. – Grace Gichuhi
