Oh yeah! thats what i believed happened. It was on a night about 12th of August around 10pm my data got exausted so i quickly rushed out to get 1k recharge card since i had something important to do that night. The woman at the shop where is usually buy credit detached two N500 cards and handed to me. I came home, loaded the first and received my due and bonus. Then i scratched the 2nd pin and tried loading and i got an error msg claiming the code is incorrect. I "Deca-checked" the pin and kept trying until i was warned that any other attempt will ban me. I then quickly called customer care and the lady told me that the card had been used on 9th of August . I wondered if she knew what she was saying cos the card was detached in my presence and i scratched it myself in my room with no witch looking to steal the pin . Not satisfied, i called again and the guy that pick told me the same story. I complained that a used card would tell me "it has been used" and not "incorrect pin". As usual, they maintained their position asking me to go back to the shop i bought the card.

At this point, i knew etisalat had scammed me cos the woman in question was not literate and i knew 300% she wont have anything reasonable to say. I returned and as anticipated, she claimed she had never heard such complain and maybe its network so i should keep trying. Well, i needed to browse so i bought another N500 card which she detached from the same set she had given me earlier. That one worked. I still had to call etisalat and na still wash story. I would spend around N350 to go to their office just for N500 card so i have kept it till such a time i find myself around there. Still yet,Abeg, help me look this matter.Anyone experienced such before

The summary of it all is that there are fake cards circulating or that particular pin wasn't activated on their network. nobody is above mistake and so there's the possibly that the card seller bought used care. Naija don wise oh because it's better you load the card at the point of purchase to avoid story that touch. Alternatively you can recharge with any available POS terminal
