i agree with you; in fact over here they are just copying what has already been done some years ago

@abatakan
first of all the fraudulent website does not reside on mtn servers; it's when people like you
and me see these things and complain to mtn customer care that they become aware and
take action; you don't actually expect them to go about surfing all web pages just so that they
can find sites that are pretending to be them do you

the truth is that scamming is relatively new in nigeria unlike the united states. i can still remember days of filling visa lottery forms, trying to claim free prizes online where ull have to pay huge sums via credit card and lots more. Nigeria is now taking the fall for a crime that has been and is still going on in other countries.  MTN also uses a lot of scam techniques to make money. what with all the game shows going on such as the one they show on NTA where ull have to answer some really easy questions but ur call never gets through. that is so scam and i think such things should be banned. i lost quite a couple of cash due to my ignorance and now i wont even lay a finger to touch anything mtn does. trying to play on peoples ignorance to make easy money is wrong and mtn is guilty of this.

SCAMMING IS BAD> SAY NO TO SCAMMING>IT Goes against PATROITISM AND EVERYTHING GOOD WE ARE WORKING FOR>

peace.

Some time ago I got a text message alerting me that I have won N1m and a KIA picanto car in the ongoing GLO promo. They gave a website www.glowinner.com, which was a replica of the Glo website for the promo. My suspicion was aroused when they requested for my bank details and ATM pin number. and They did not talk about how I could redeem the car. I never sent my details. However, when I did a whois on the website, the names and address were very funny. You can imagine a street named "29 Uwa bu Paw Paw Street, Apapa".

It pains me to see people illegally gunning for other peoples money without an iota of guilt. The most painful aspect is that these crooks love God so much, particularly on fridays and sundays. I can imagine how they will be bubbling with holy ghost fire on sundays. Lord have mercy. The end is near indeed. sad

Its so sad that even the GSM companies are scamming their customers by milking them with thier useless promo, you can imagine glo and mtn asking thier customers to text to win some millions of naira, each text cost N100 and you have to keep texting 'cos they tell you the more you text, the better your chance of winning millions on naira, the truth is your probability of winning is 0.000002 , The government have failed us all. I weep for this country cry cry cry

@blackweaver,
That is their job,protecting the good name of the company,so the company can`t be bothered? give you an example sample David Beckham name, try and do ANYTHING ( and l mean ANYTHING) with it on the the net, and see THE LAW COMES DOWN ON YOU!!!
So individual can do it,and so call big company, can`t protect the company name?
