ATTENTION! Don't Fall For This MTN Chicanery. by Nobody: 8:21pm On Nov 05, 2015
PLEASE DISREGARD THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IF ANYONE SENDS IT TO YOU:
"Please never u for any reason give out ur fone
to any person. It's noticed that fraudsters
collect ur fone type these characters *565*0# u
r BVN will appear and they use it to withdraw
from u r account electronically. Try it and see.
Notify ur friends n relations. People have lost huge sum from this act".
This is MTN's (and other network providers') use of chicanery to fleece general public.
Once you dial the number, 10naira will be deducted from your main balance, and your BVN will be displayed on your screen!
Imagine the amount of money any network provider will make by this silly contrivance.
Thank me later!

Thanks op... But seriously who are we to blame on this one - NCC?

Even on my airtel sim. I did it twice, 20 card disappeared... Without a notification!

* There are things that are necessarily supposed to be free (or cheap) in these country. (deducting one's N10 without notification or warning is theft!).

* if this is active in all networks then NCC should be probed for permitting such...

Very soon we are going to be charge for checking our account balance. (without a notification of course!)
