MTN Nigeria has warned subscribers against fake 25GB anniversary giveaway offers circulating online, urging customers to access the promotion only through its official platforms, Peak Newspaper reports.
The telecommunications giant issued the warning through its support account on X on Saturday, cautioning subscribers against clicking suspicious links, sharing personal information or making payments on unauthorised platforms claiming to offer the anniversary data bundle.
MTN said the official 25GB Anniversary Giveaway is available only through the MyMTN NG App and MTN eShop.
The company stated: “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.
According to the company, subscribers should log into the MyMTN App and tap “Redeem Now” on the anniversary banner or access the offer through the MTN eShop.
MTN added that eligible customers should follow the prompts to activate the 25GB bundle. Subscribers who received an SMS notification about the offer may also use the link contained in the message.
The company further advised customers to rely strictly on information and messages received through its verified communication channels when accessing the anniversary promotion.
MTN also stated that the free 25GB 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 falsely claiming to offer free MTN data as part of the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
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.
