SCAM ALERT: MTN warns subscribers against fake 25GB anniversary data giveaway

 

MTN Nigeria has warned subscribers against fake 25GB anniversary giveaway offers circulating online, urging customers to use only its official platforms to access the promotion.

The telecommunications company issued the warning through its support account on X on Saturday, cautioning Nigerians against clicking suspicious links, sharing personal information or making payments on platforms claiming to offer the anniversary data bundle.

MTN said the official 25GB anniversary giveaway is available only through the MyMTN NG App and the MTN eShop.

In the post, the company said, “Please beware of fake MTN 25th Anniversary 25GB giveaway offers circulating online.

“The official MTN 25GB Anniversary Giveaway is available ONLY via the MyMTN NG App and MTN eShop.

“Do not click on links, share your personal information or make payments on any other platform claiming to offer the giveaway.

“Only trust official MTN channels.”

In a separate post, MTN explained how eligible subscribers could access the offer.

The company said, “Log in to the MyMTN App and tap ‘Redeem Now’ on the anniversary banner or via the MTN eShop.

“To access the 25GB offer, kindly visit the MyMTN App or the MTN E-Shop and follow the prompts to activate the bundle, if you are eligible for the offer.

“You may also click on the link contained in the SMS notification you received regarding the offer.”

MTN further advised subscribers to rely on messages and information received through its official channels when accessing the anniversary promotion.

The telecommunications company also stated that the 25GB free data bundle would remain valid until 11:59pm on the stated expiry date, urging eligible customers to redeem the offer within the validity period.

The warning comes amid the circulation of online posts and links purporting to offer free MTN data to subscribers as part of the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations.

Subscribers have therefore been advised to avoid unauthorised websites and platforms requesting personal details, payments or other information in exchange for the supposed giveaway.
