MTN Warns Subscribers Against Fake 25GB Anniversary Giveaway
MTN Nigeria has warned its subscribers against fake 25GB anniversary giveaway offers circulating online, urging customers to rely only on the telecommunications company’s official platforms.
The warning was issued through MTN’s support account on X on Saturday amid the circulation of suspicious links and posts claiming to offer subscribers free data as part of the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
MTN cautioned customers against clicking on unverified links, sharing personal information or making payments on platforms claiming to provide the anniversary data bundle.
The company said the official 25GB anniversary giveaway is available only through the MyMTN NG App and the MTN eShop.
“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,” the company said.
In a separate post, MTN explained that eligible subscribers could access the offer by logging into the MyMTN App and tapping “Redeem Now” on the anniversary banner or by visiting 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,” MTN stated.
The company added that subscribers could also access the offer through the link contained in the SMS notification they received regarding the promotion.
MTN further advised customers to rely on information and messages received through its official channels when accessing the anniversary offer.
It also noted that the 25GB free data bundle would remain valid until 11:59pm on the stated expiry date, urging eligible subscribers to redeem the offer before the validity period ends.
The warning comes as fake posts and links claiming to offer free MTN data continue to circulate online.
Subscribers have consequently been advised to avoid unauthorised websites and platforms requesting personal information, payments or other sensitive details in exchange for the supposed giveaway.
