Amazing Race Africa: "Goldrush"
georgiapeach:
This smells of hoax to me....the premise of asking for an undisclosed amount of $$ in order to participate in the treasure hunt seems quite unorthodox, not to mention perhaps extortionist.
But sharing this with a caution: :ascared

No, your application to the Amazing Race automatically qualifies you for the Goldrush. However theres a fee inorder for you to receive your Goldrush starter kit(first clue).
Why will you charge a Fee for the Goldrush Starter kit
To keep the adrenalin pumping and foster competion because everybody will have a stake and something to loose, and frankly speaking we have decided to charge a very small fee to make the ultimate prize attractive.
How much is it
we will announce shortly, and communicate to everyone. :groan:
