MTN "Surprise Package SMS" Is A Scam by maximunimpact(m): 1:28pm On May 05, 2016
I am very sad right now, i was on my own MTN sent me an SMS with a surprise package of 3.75gigabite data for 2,000 naira. It happens that at that point i needed to subscribe for data to continue surfing the net. I was happy with the surprise package and then i followed the instruction and sent 110 to 131 and the message says it's for 30days validity.

Can you believe that i only browsed without downloads or any high data consuming internet activity, and then i checked my data balanced 12hours later and my balance is less than 100MB. Just like play MTN scammed me 2,000 naira in this harsh whether.

Must MTN show themselves by duping customers of their hard earned money?

MTN and their Greek gifts are just like 5 and 6. @ OP, probably you're new with MTN and that is why you fell for their cheap scam.

MTN doesn't scam unless you fall for them.

Call 180 and reach the customer care by choosing the code for resolving share and sell option to make your complaints.

I lost N1500 credit to MTN when I have subsisting data still running and after my complaint, I was credited with N2000.

My data got missing as yours, I called and my data was fully restored.

I have lost count of issues I resolved with MTN Customer Care without losing a dime.

You got to have patience for your turn when you call. 180 or 181

Not scam. I got 1.5g for #1000. I am using it now and the data deduction is so far so good.
My only problem is the speed. Having used etisalat for years, I am trying to adapt to Mtn snail speed.

I subscribed on the 1st of May and it's to expire on the 10th of June, I know it won't because of my usage. So my brother it's even more than 40 days but some peeps just make mtn be like thieves yet they are still the biggest in Nigeria.
