MTN Nigeria has warned subscribers against fake 25GB anniversary giveaway offers circulating online, urging customers to access the promotion only through the company’s official platforms.
The telecommunications company issued the warning through its support account on X on Saturday, cautioning subscribers against clicking suspicious links, sharing personal information or making payments on websites and 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 a 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 can redeem the offer.
The company said subscribers should log into the MyMTN App and tap “Redeem Now” on the anniversary banner, or access the offer through 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 said.
It added that subscribers could also use the link contained in the SMS notification they received regarding the offer.
MTN urged customers to rely only on information and messages communicated through its official channels when accessing the anniversary promotion.
The company also said 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 amid the circulation of online posts and links purporting to offer free MTN data as part of the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
Subscribers have therefore been advised to avoid unauthorised websites and platforms that request personal information, payments or other sensitive details in exchange for the purported giveaway.
