I've been experiencing this same issue for over 2 years now. In my case, I've used my SIM for over 10 years now, but started getting those strange alerts after the merger that formed access bank. I complained at one of their branches, but the customer care person said there was nothing they could do: the account owner has to be the one to request for change of phone number. |

MegaPlayBoy: Destroying the SIM won't save you from trouble either, since you've already registered it imputting your biodata. Report the issue to both MTN and Access bank. Make it clear that you want the alerts to stop. Make your report in writing, probably through customer care emails, so that you can keep documented proof of the complaints and their response. In a more civilised clime, someone can sue MTN for this kind of embarrassment and get good compensation for it. They should format an old number very well before reselling it as a new SIM. |

MegaPlayBoy:I am a banker. Kindly go to any access bank branch to report they will remove the account attached to the number. What must have happened is that someone used to own that sim and for one reason or the other he abandoned the line(he could be dead) so having been abandoned for more than six months MTN recovered the nos and re allocate. So kindly go to Access bank to complain so they can remove the nos from the account. You abandoning it doesnt change anything as the nos has been registered against your phone on MTN database and if there is an ongoing investigation your phone IMEI will pop up and you can be connected by various nos u have used on that phone. If you are scared get a lawyer to go to Access with you or go make an official report at a police station and get a police report that you filed an official complain so if there is an issue you will have evidence that you lodged a complain. 1 Like |

try recharging from the account, the person will see your number in the debit alert he/she will receive so they should call you on how to fix it, same thing happened to me, the girl had similar number to mine so as i was rushing to fill a form i mistakenly missed a number and imputed her number so she was receiving all my alert just the way you are until she recharged 1k, I first called access bank customer care to restrict my account then i checked the alert for her number, she started begging me that it was her friends that pushed her to recharge bla bla bla |

Use your sim and warn access bank using there online support to stop sending you messages else sue them and demand damage. Even if there formal customer used it before. The law demand that bank should update customer records within 3 month of any change. |

MegaPlayBoy: For your own good, go to MTN office and report, then head to any police station and report too. |

ibolord: First thing you should have done if you knowyou are going to be out of the country for a longtime is remove your account with money from anything electronic. You then notify the bank formally of your long absence. That way they will not be able to start telling you stories. |

MegaPlayBoy: It's new to you but not to the previous owner .That's was how MTN gave out my favourite line to another person. I tried to retrieve it but MTN said they have sold it to another person meanwhile the SIM was still with me. Till date, people still call the person , thinking it is me. I had to go my banks to change my transactions alert number |
Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by Hope4atree: 10:12pm On Jul 22, 2020 |
My advice is for you to report the case to Access Bank. They won't ask you to write any statement/report. They'll only deactivate SMS alert on that account, doing this will save the account holder's account from falling into wrong hands. That's the right thing to do! |

This is a mistake that occurs while opening an account by customers service officers or account officers might be a mistake in one or two digits cos most people don’t fill their account opening forms clearly kindly go to a close access bank branch and complain they’ll thank u |
Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by aujile(m): 11:36pm On Jul 22, 2020 |
SIM cards get recycled after six months of not being used, both Mtn and access bank knows that You bought the SIM and duly registered it You didn't do any transaction on the account the number is registered You definitely don't need to abandon the SIM or take it back to Mtn or even visit access bank. Call their call center and inform them that you are receiving alert that is not your own on your new SIM . In so doing, you have done everything required not to be in any trouble. Forget all this return the SIM to Mtn as if there's guarantee that the next one you will get won't be a recycled SIM as well |

A word is enough for the wise. Please ditch the sim or go to MTN and report and get a new Sim.....someone I know with a similar issue ended up in Kuje prison over things he knows nothing about. May we be wise |

All I can see in these comments is the fear of the innocent that the system created a trap for them and on the other side, the criminal minded fellows are wishing they're the ones that have that loophole in their hands. But why can't the government take care of this loophole once and for and save the innocent citizens of being abused by corrupt law enforcement officers, as well as block the criminals of gaining access to people's hard earned money? It's a pity being born a Nigerian! 1 Like |

Guy solve this issue. Worst thing is when an innocent man suffers in Nigeria. They are already calling you JUDE. Clearly that sim was used by a fraudster. Report the sim to the your the relevant company. Emmypure: |
Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by vickybantin(m): 12:28am On Jul 23, 2020 |
it's not a big issue. the sim has been previously used by the person...and he/she linked the number to a bank account. now the person probably have misplaced the sim,or the person is dead or something.... numbers are been recycled after long time of no use and re-given to another person. all u need to do is lay complain to the bank and mtn. it will be resolved. |
Re: I Keep Receiving strange Bank Alerts On My New Sim by Roseey0(f): 12:51am On Jul 23, 2020 |
Ignore if you have been using it for a while without such alert Customer service can make mistake while entering a number for alerts for that customer that owns the account. We see it alot in banking. A customer will come complaining that he/she requested for alerts but is still not getting it and when you ask them to call out their phone number you will see one or 2 numbers were mismatched. It's just human error. You should only return if the alerts started from day1 of using the sim |
