Its a relatively new sim, can I destroy it
I don't want Trouble

The sim is now registered on your name, so, anything happening on that sim card passes through name therefore, destroying it wouldn't change anything.

Write a formal letter to mtn, maybe through your legal adviser if you can afford it. instruct them to deregister your name from that sim.... You'll state your reasons and remind them of the legal implications that may ensure if they refused to treat your matter as urgent as possible.

That's the only way you can absolve yourself from any unfortunate crime story that may be uncovered in the future.

Remember the travails of the guy that bought Buhari's daughter former sim card and borrow wisdom.

For your own good, take it to any MTN office..

That number belonged to someone else and MTN probably sold it because the person did not use it for 6 months
nothing will happen to him.
same sim was relocated to me and I used it a lotta times to load airtime via the person's account

It happen to a friend of mine also, he had to get the person's name from the alert and true caller, then found the person on Facebook, he explained to the person and told him that he should go to his bank to change his alert details, of which he did, the owner of the SIM was really grateful because the alert figures were close to 7 digits, please see if you could get the person on Facebook and tell him/her to change the alert details.

Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by rolams(m): 5:37pm On Jul 22, 2020
Somebody has used the SIM before. He/she has not updated his/her account with the bank. Just make sure you properly register the SIM.

I think a SIM used by another person and attached to his bank account was reallocated to you undecided
Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by Jametola: 5:38pm On Jul 22, 2020
Kindly contact the customer care via phone, email or social media of the bank you are receiving alert, the account number linked the the phone number will be traced and the Transaction Notification Setup (TNS) will be deactivated and as well the RM (Account Officer) will be informed to let the account holder update his phone number.

So weird... since it is a new sim and you're probably not attached to it, ditch it and get a new one before you will start telling stories that touch. If you're attached to it, you can try calling access bank and mtn to resolve the issue.
his biometrics must have been linked to the sim. To avoid dss wahala he needs to go to mtn or the bank o. In case of gobe one would have used 4 weeks in detention before they start listening to your explanations.

Bro, I have been using the sim for a few month now and I have made no such attempt.
I has removed the sim from my phone.
I will leave it and forget all about it

Don't forget that you registered the sim in your name. Ensure you do the right thing now to avoid story in near future.

Same thing also happened to me bought new glo SIM was receiving different strange call.

I go pick call Dem go dy call me adamu zo mana...

Or someone probably mistakenly uses Ur number as his/her bank alert... Maybe he or she misses 1or2 digits

Go to mtn office or the bank
