MTN Has Started Scamming On The 500% Bonus? by BodyKiss(m): 12:33pm On Nov 06, 2012
I started noticing since yesterday, whenever I finish making call, MTN will show me my last call charge as the total call I've made for the whole day. At first I couldn't believe it, but after many calls, it was certain. Called a friend of mine and he confirmed to be experiencing the same thing.

I've spent more than my daily target today, as I did yesterday, but never got anything. This SIM is going back to where I brought it out from, no doubt.

Anybody experiencing the same thing?

It has been going on well ever since they started it(500% promo), but just yesterday i noticed they've started scamming me. Guess they want to do the same thing they did with their "Special Number" or whatever scam, which I didn't bother myself subscribing to then.

OP, you are so right. Yours is better with mtn giving you readings at all. Mine stopped counting ages ago no matter the call I make.

Me think its a glitch, happened about two weekends back to me but since then it hasn't been repeated. Only issue is the constant netwk congestion, now I wish they'd never started this 5* thingy, you have to dial and pray you're lucky to sneak in your call on a constantly busy network.

When I used 300 Naira yesterday, I was told I just used 48 Naira. Imagine, and it wasn't like that before until yesterday.

I was thinking of calling their CC but can't imagine myself waiting hours just to talk to someone that may tell me "it's a technical problem, our engineers are working on it."

I have always said MTN is a 'scam'
MTN has cheated me so many times over the years
As for the 500% bonus, a friend first reported it on 2nd Nov.
Then I found out myself on the 3rd of Nov.
Imagine making a 7 mins call for which u are charged #126
Yet MTN says ur last call was #13
Unbelievable! Once they said my last call was #1.02k after charging me like #80.
I was just laughing.

Mine started since last weekend. I wanted to start a thread on it yesterday but felt i might be d only one experiencing it.

They can never keep to their word. Guess d word INTEGRITY has been deleted from their dictionary.

Wtf, whats National Lottery Regulatory Commission doing abt all these?
