My husband had a similar experience with his MTN line sometimes last year. His fone would noy just go thru and had to go to their friendship center only to be told he just did Welcome back and had to wait 24hrs for it to be active. after convincing the lady that the line trully was his( cos he went with his sim pack) they had to unblock the other party and released his line but it was too late then cos someone had used his forged cheque to withdraw almost 1.2mill from 2 of his accounts. we complained to MTN that the fraud was perpetrated because of their negligence. till today, nothing tangible has come out of the complaint

I'm curious. Can someone use your GSM number to withdraw money from your account? I dont see the connection.

read again. they swapped his line so that they would answer the call when the acct officers call to confirm the transactions

You know, that wasn't in your earlier post. Now I see. That is an organised crime drawing strength from within your household. I cant help thinking you have someone close to you enough to have access to your sensitive info, who shouldnt. Quickly work on this before he/she organises the kidnap of your kids. (God forbid) Just my advice.

Another lesson from this for me is, should MTN tell me my phone has been swapped tomorrow, I wont wait to convince them the line is genuinely mine before contacting by banking officers to dishonour all cheques till further notice. Sorry, I have to learn this from Iyatrustee's terrible experience.

Etisalat deserves to be taken to court. Subscribers should not keep silence whenever they are cheated.

It is very easy (if you think about it), Whenever i give out an OTC check up to and above N200,000, i get a call from the Bank asking me if it is okay to pay, they also ask me for my email address used to register my online bank account (this you can easily get). after this, they simply pay. rather than get bogged down with these confirmation calls, i handed the responsibility to my secretary, GTBANK are not even bothered that a girl is confirming a check for an account whose sole signatory is a guy.

So if they forged a check or got one of his real check leaves, they can cash it without the owner even finding out about it since the call for confirmation won't reach him anyway and the SMS-Alert on the transaction will go to the stolen line. this is giving me ideas hhmmmn

bros na u be the badt guys

na waah oo

Etisalat deserves to be taken to court. Subscribers should not keep silence whenever they are cheated. I agree with you completely! Due to the nature of our judicial system in Nigeria we are easily taken for rides by corporate organizations and multinationals. infact, most Nigerians just prefer to be cheated than take the trouble of going to court. I was on MTN funlink bundle for which subscription is 1,500 naira and you get 60megabytes data along with free sms and other perks. MTN removed the 60megabytes without informing anyone and not until i subscribed did i realize the dupe!
