Not surprised..

It has been their way..

Same thing happened to me, they blamed it on music plus..

Tried opting out from the said music plus, my reply was that I wasn't subscribed to it.

Hello Oluwaseydex, so sorry about this experience. I currently run a thread here called the MTN Customer Care Thread https://www.nairaland.com/1379574/mtn-customer-care-thread/ where issues like this could be resolved promptly. I will also appreciate if you can send me your mobile number via PM to enable me assist. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards

Same thing happened to me. They deducted N130 from my hard earned money, for one stupid Music plus I didn't subscribe to, i made sure I unsuscribed from all their stupid packages and still they deducted my money. I was darn furious and I bet the CS agent who attended to me knew it. MTN should stop this criminal act now! Imagine they do that to millions of Nigerians, they will be in serious money.

Dear Customer, you have successfully subscribed to MTN Baby Care Tips and 50.00 deducted from your account. Your service will be renewed on 2017-01-20. To cancel, text STOP6 to 33555. Enjoy!

Dear Customer, you have successfully subscribed to Mobile Magazine Weekly and 50.00 deducted from your account. Your service will be renewed on 2017-01-21. To cancel, text STOP MAG to 30801. Enjoy!


The above is what MTN did to me within a week.
Deducting #50.00 each time for what i did not subscribe to.

Who is going to save the masses from this scammer called mtn.

The funny thing is that Nigerians are the brains behind all these things.
Working against your country men because of money.
They have perfected the act to the extent that their system will show that you really subscribed to the product.
I am into alternative medicine , how would i subscribe for baby care tips.
If at all i need informations on any topic , Google is there for me.
Nigerians helping them to prepare such applications should desist and the Minister of communication and relevant authorities should come to our aid.
God bless Nigeria and anyone that is reapong Nigerians of their hard earned money will not prosper AMEN.
