Mtn At It Again by Nobody: 8:02pm On Nov 10, 2012 |
DEAR Nairalanders , Mtn nig is at it again with its SCAM PROMO PLS dial *556# to check your mtn balance and under that , you will see a promo "ENJOY 100% AIRTIME BONUS ON EVERY RECHARGE THIS WEEKEND!! JUST RECHARGE WITH *888*PIN# FROM 6PM ON FRIDAY" Just 10minutes ago , i loaded 1,500naira using the above code and a message pop-up that it was successful and that i should check bonus via *889# i did and this is what i saw "YOUR WOW MAIN ACCOUNT BALANCE IS 1,500 ,EXPIRES ON NOV 11 2012; YOUR WOW BONUS ACCOUNT BALANCE IS 1,500;EXPIRES NOV 11 2012." i did not understand that message at all , then i decided to check my main balance and lo and behold i saw 0.00naira , i was confused and i quickly call mtn customer care and lol i was told that once i load any card using the code *888*PIN# ,no amount will be credited to my main account and every card i load will surely expire by Sunday midnight including the 100% bonus PLS IS THIS MTN WOW PROMO NOT A SCAM ? WHY DIDNT MTN STATE IT CLEARLY THAT EVERY RECHARGE CARD LOADED USING *888*PIN# WILL EXPIRE ON SUNDAY MIDNIGHT , MEANING ONCE ONE LOAD 5000NAIRA RECHARGE CARD AROUND 11.50PM , THE 5K AND THE BONUS OF 5K WILL BOTH BE WIPE-OFF BY 11.59PM CAN MTN TRY THIS NONSENSE IN SOUTH-AFRICA ? WHAT IS NCC DOING TO CURB ALL THESE ILLEGALITIES ? IS THIS HOW WE AS A COUNTRY WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP SILENCE ONLY TIME WILL TELL PLEASE SPREAD THIS NEWS ROUND BEFORE ITS TOO LATE |

I also saw it and I chose to ignore it because I have learnt that MTN promos almost always comes with ridiculous conditions attached to it. My friend learn to ignore their stupid promos and you will give yourself serious peace of mind. Thanks. |

I experienced the same thinh my brada. When i dialed *556# to check my main balance i saw the previous balance. I tot the recharge wasnt succesful after having thrown the card away.imagine! I called them with anoyance and what the guy told me was that i should have called their customer care line before subscribing for the package. The worst thing is that the useless network no come dey go. Maybe we should mobilise mtn users nationwide not to recharge for 3 days. I believe something will be done asap. |
