I Bought A Sim And Someone Just Called To Claim It Is His by nnamx4u: 7:25am On Oct 06, 2020 |
I bought an airtel sim last week and just this morning around 6am someone called me with private number claiming that the sim is his. He lost his one and he has been calling the number it has not been going. I asked him where he lost the sim? He said he plugged it in a betnaija shop and they took it from there. he asked them to give him the sim and collect the phone but they did not respond. I asked him when he lost the phone? He said a year ago. Can this be true or is their something fishy about this We are in different states |

Sim card has sent many to the prison. I hope you still have your Sim card pack intact? If yes, do you also have a good lawyer? |

Similar thing happened to me and it's airtel... I travelled for a long time and my airtel sim was dormant, they recycled the sim I guess. But it has not been sold out, I even went to their office to see if I can get it back but when checked he said it's not possible and my details are still associated with that particular sim when he checked on their platform. Now I keep calling that sim to know when it's ON so I can negotiate with the person that will buy it. Because that sim is associated with many things I have done in the past and it's affecting me. 1 Like |

nnamx4u: So what does he want you to do? Unless he's insinuating you are a thief and if you are not one then you need to draw a clear line. Tell him to call airtel to make his complaints that you can't do much. You should also register your displeasure with your service provider. |

Network providers should be SUED by any victim of embarrassment, theft or scam. If you misplace your SIM, retrieve it ASAP because if you don't the exact LINE will be sold to someone else who will then be receiving your alerts and other notifications. |

SIM are recycled after 6 months, you have nothing to fear. Just keep you SIM certificate. It's yours because you bought it. I believe Nigerians don't read T & C of network providers. If the owner call you, tell him you bought it. Because he should have retrieve it between the space if 6 months. |
