BeraBera: It is possible that the OP (Original Poster) has been bribed by any of the other mobile communication networks to come here and rubbish MTN.
When one is looking for awoof bonuses, what do you get? Greedy people always get cheated of course tongue

Its people like you that made me take the pains of posting screenshots, someone raises a valid case of fraud and someone else comes from nowhere to attempt blackmail.

The other people who it affected where bribed too abi?

At least I'm glad you mentioned that we are being cheated.

If I reply you in kind it'd mean I'm as retarded and low class as you are.

Poor punctuations, awkward capitalization, eye-burning spelling, personal pronouns in small caps and you're talking of exams.

I'd let that pass, I won't interact with kids like you in real life so I'd ignore you like you're meant to be ignored.

Seriously though, are the insults called for? Wouldn't "Google is your friend" have been easier to type?
anybody reading the comment you made below will undstnd you're daft and will probably ignore you

While advertising their promo when I dialled *556# why didn't they also state that they would steal the airtime in clear terms? Was there any hint of that in the screenshot attached?

Do you guys find it difficult to read? WOW WEEKEND BONUS. I suppose you understand it is meant for weekend only............FUUUULS
Re: MTN WOW Bonus. Confirmed Scam! User Beware!! by Nobody: 9:50am On Nov 12, 2012
Yes o, this is a big scam and mtn should be asked to stop it immediately. My mum loaded her phone with the 888 and her credit varnished into thin air.

This lady is one of the problem of this Country!

Same thing happened here this weekend. Bought 2 N750 cards, loaded the first one and saw the msg just like the poster had it here, Lo and Behold after using that code for the second card, the credit disappeared!

The point is, WHY do they have to hide the terms and condition for using this code??

That is a scam! God ll help the Customer care agent when i get to their office today as well!

If you have experience this, storm their office! When we keep quiet they keep pulling this wool over our face all the time!

Den go take today!

Your normal credit is your credit that can be used anytime.

Your bonus credit is credit that must be used within the stipulated time. If you check your bonus after the expiry period, of course you will see zero (0:00) as your balance.

A window is put on the bonus credit because people will just accumulate credits for no reason, that is why it is not rolled over to the next day ( some load as much as 10K daily ).

The bonus is just targeted at the 100 naira 200 naira people in the real sense, anyone that loads 3k and above daily doesnt necessarily need the bonus ( Are they going to make calls up to 9000 naira to mtn numbers daily? )

You also have the option of using the network that is not a scam.

I am suprised and shocked that MTN is a scam thread makes the front page weekly on nairaland for the past 2 years and people still can not leave the network.

Are we just obsessed with MTN or we are just Liars?

If MTN is a store that sells FMCG, they should be out of bussiness with the effort nairalanders put into bringing them down.

Mtn is a scam, they also failed to comply with NCC`s directive on giving the amount charge for each calls they rather would send a bogus promo advert. This wow thing is also a scheme to rip pple off. We should initiate a class action against them.
Re: MTN WOW Bonus. Confirmed Scam! User Beware!! by mrrock: 10:18am On Nov 12, 2012
All the GSM networks in Nigeria are all running scams, MTN, GLO, Airtel. I don't have Etisalat SIM so I can't say about them. They don't do it alone rather they do it in partnership with the Ogas at NCC. This is like the oil marketers stealing subsidy money in conjuction with government officials in the presidency, ministers, NNPC, name them. Talk about corruption.
However, MTN remains the king of scam. I' am still waiting for my Airplane.
Note MTN also own Multichoice DSTV and their company policy is never to give anything for free. Don't be deceived that MTN will give you anything for free!. They don't give anything for free. You will later find out they will take it back one way or the other.

Xano: it worked for me. I recharged on saturday, receieved 100% bonus. I checked it with *888#. When i typed the code, i saw the amount i recharged and also saw the bonus. To check it, type *889#. I made calls, it worked. I finished mine before it expired on sunday night.

This exactly how it works. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS ABC.

I loaded 1500, used 11 naira of my 1500 and today I can't find it, is that a promo? I didn't even touch the so-called Bonus credit. If they where doing something as drastic as wiping out the airtime you bought shouldn't there be a clear warning to that effect?
I'm not bringing anybody down, I'm stating something that's obviously wrong. I use mtn for my personal line, business line, dstv mobile and one modem, I haven't "brought them down" for that, should I see something being improperly and deceptively done and keep quiet about it?

Mtn is doing a great job at exploiting naija people. they should be commended because naija people like Mtn to be fleecing them! Sebi there is/are alternatve to Mtn and some people are clinging to mtn as if na their papa property.

It is also possible you lack common sense. Didn't u see the pic? Mtn is a thieving network!!! Sometimes I wonder why people are still subscribed to that network.

You use a lot of their product, and am sure you must have being using them for years.

You should have tried to contact customer care through the available channels instead of coming to a faceless forum to try and slander them

Slander is lying, from the evidence I'm stating an obvious truth.
I won't post without trying to contact them. I've been calling 180 all day, they are asking me to enter a customer I.D and security number, how are you meant to complain with that?
I stated in a previous post that I would visit their office and I would do that when I'm less busy. This is a busy monday morning.
We always allow our rights to be trampled on in this country.
Re: MTN WOW Bonus. Confirmed Scam! User Beware!! by Nobody: 12:12pm On Nov 12, 2012
I don't really like mtn but this is simple; recharge with any amount and finish it before midnight on Sunday. The credit showing on top can be used for any network but the wow bonus is strictly for mtn numbers. Your main balance on 556 will still be there until you use it, it will also be deducted for smses. For me, i try not to load more than 400 using 888 because i would want to finish it before expiry. I also load on Friday night not Sunday morning to avoid stories and i call mostly non mtn numbers with it.

timbros: I wonder why yoou people are still using MTN anymore. Everyday complain complain complain and still using it. Is it today you find out MTN is scam? Its either you continue living with the scam of you leave the network entirely.

I have long dumped my MTN (yes, its my 'major' line but i had to do it). I sent out sms notifying my friends, family, customers etc of my current primary lines, Glo and Etisalat. Then i bought a Nokia torch, 2.5k, and put the MTN line. Its there on top of my fridge. Anytime i come back and see a missed call, i call back with glo or etisalat and tell the person to call me with this line next time.

That way, i dont have MTN wahala no more. I'm tired off all this MTN complain when there are other options. Telecommunication in Nigeria is not like Power where we have only PHCN. Anything they give you, you endure. No. We have options in networks today.
Thank you for this candid advice. Sometimes, I usually think if MTN use witch/wizard spirits to tie these complainers on their network. Even if they use 'juju' for you, you need to break yourself from its grip immediately.
So dont come here complaining when you know what to do and how to solve the problem permanently.
