Help!!! Someone Has Cloned My Phone Number by popweezy(op): 2:15am On Feb 12, 2023
I started observing this when I checked my airtime balance and surprisingly, saw that I have unsettled credit (loan) and I can't remember me taking airtime loan from GLO.
Also, someone transferred a certain amount of money to me and I was deducted by GTbank for an airtime I didn't buy. Lastly, I logged in my telegram and began to see so many strange contacts as well as groups I didn't even subscribe to.

Experts in the house, pls how do I address this issue? cuz I have been disturbed with all these since yesterday. God bless you all!

My network says I have been blocked temporarily. I wanted to check my airtime balance.

Also happened to my sis, sometimes when you call another female picks the call, telling us it's her number, sometimes it's my sister who answers.
I still don't understand how two people will be using thesame phone number. undecided
It was also a GLO line.

I was reading your post until I saw GLO in it.

Have you heard people from other network complain of this? The same Glo that will start deducting a caller airtime even when the Glo number that is being called is not going through.

As for the Telegram aspect, I think it has to do with setting or synchronization of a thing. Cos some of my wife contact are also appearing on my Telegram. I guess it's because I use my email to set her phone as recovery email.

As for me I recharged card on glo
Omo I was sent a message saying recharge successful
Till today they are yet to top my balance
This happened to me twice

Latest one they do now is cutting the call when am discussing something important with friends

Glo should fix all this problems

I'm not lying. It's been long ago, she'd already lost the sim.
