MTN, The Great SCAMMER Is At It Again! by Esesuper: 2:14am On Jul 22, 2016 |
Well, I hope MTN gets this cos am really pissed right now.
My number is 08067179577.
I loaded my 500 naira airtime an hour ago (at about 12.34
am 22/7/2016) and I received a message that my recharge
of 500 naira was successful and that I have received a data
bonus of 1gb (ie the wow weekend thingy). This bonus 1gb
data is d reason why I loaded d 500 naira airtime in d first
place.
I decided to check my balance and to my greatest surprise, I
had 400 naira airtime left, even though I didn't make any
call and never subscribed to any funny mtn service with
funny hidden charges, not even caller tunes! Also, my data
service is on my glo line, cos I use a 2-sim android phone.
And I have NEVER borrowed money from MTN!
2ndly, d wow weekend data bonus was nowhere to be
found.
So now MTN scammed me of the promised 1gb data and
N100 airtime. I have tried several times to call customer
service but u guys keep hanging up on me after telling me
to hold on for a customer care representative.
This action by a renowned service provider like mtn is
unacceptable and I won't rest until I get my money back
with apologies.
This continuous scamming by mtn is d reason why I haven't
loaded my line for over 2 months now. I was just about to
give u guys another chance and this is what I get?

A few minutes later, I dailed *556# and instead of seeing N500 airtime balance and 1gb weekend bonus to my greatest surprise, I found out that I had 400 naira airtime left and d 1gb data was nowhere to be found, even though I didn't make any call and I never subscribed to any funny mtn service with their funny hidden charges, not even caller tunes! Also, my data service is on my glo line, cos I use a 2-sim android phone. And I have NEVER borrowed money from MTN!

I think the July deal is only for those on MTN ipulse and from your screen shot you are on MTN Smooth Talk. Try Engaging them on twitter or facebook. 1 Like |

I did this last weekend and I got the 1GB bonus, and I wasn't even on ipulse. The only problem I can see right now is your missing N100 credit. As for the data bonus, maybe you should hold on till tomorrow, since that's the time you can use it anyway. |

mtn just scammed me o. I loaded 500. I was notified that i have been given 1gb. So i dailed *556# and I expected to see 1gb as they offered but what i saw was just 100mb. Am really sad |

nonny1212: I think it's 500 naira and above, meaning u will load like 750 card to get 1gig.. .. Because, I just loaded 500 and they gave me only 100mb. ... Loaded another 500 and got another 100mb making it 200mb.... Although, they showed me 1gig bonus immediately o loaded d 500s.. .. |

I don't know about u guys but I just loaded 550 on my Mtn and I got my 1gb bonus. U people just like shouting scammer every time when the actual fact is ur own misunderstanding. Mtn said recharge above 500, and u recharged 500.

Re: MTN, The Great SCAMMER Is At It Again! by Chillinmasoul(m): 2:23pm On Jul 22, 2016 |
MTN said above N500 which means when you recharge N501 they will fulfill their promise. It's not scam, na you no understand... Pele |

My N510 recharge gave me 1gb bonus. |
Re: MTN, The Great SCAMMER Is At It Again! by Esesuper: 1:00am On Jul 23, 2016 |
Chillinmasoul: Before u start commenting on someone's post, I'd advise you to take out time to read it first. Thank u. Or did mtn deduct any amount from ur N501? |
Re: MTN, The Great SCAMMER Is At It Again! by Nobody: 5:22am On Jul 23, 2016 |
greenhulk:seems for some weird reason after the first time(I.e the first time u load 500 and get 1gb) u have to start recharging above 500. u used vtu so am guessing that's why.so best u use vtu for this stuff next time(to those like me u were affected) and send a little bit above 500 say 510 to ur line.not really a big issue but these data providers need to start making clearer the terms of their service,for instance even airtel will tell u that they are selling 1.5gb for 50naira but have used it and it is less than even 1gb.edit:just saw the above 500naira part now,so am guessing the first time it worked for 500 was like a bonus or something.but still airtel though ![]() |
