MTN Scam Trick. by akagson(op): 1:11pm On Jun 11, 2016
MTN are fond of doing this thing. They are now tired of sending SMS messages. Now what they do is to now send you what I'll call a "flash message."
When the message comes into your phone, you'll only see an option of CANCEL or OK.

In a case where you use a touchscreen phone, there is chances that you'll unknowingly click on OK and boom, you've been subscribed to one useless service you never intended and your money subsequently deducted.

I have fallen a victim several times and it annoys me. What can I do about it?
