MTN Nigeria has warned subscribers against fraudulent 25GB anniversary giveaway offers circulating online, urging customers to rely only on the company’s official platforms when accessing the promotion.
The telecommunications giant issued the warning through its support account on X on Saturday, cautioning subscribers against clicking suspicious links, disclosing personal information or making payments on unauthorised platforms claiming to offer the anniversary data bundle.
MTN said the genuine 25GB anniversary giveaway is available exclusively through the MyMTN NG App and the 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 message, MTN explained how eligible subscribers can redeem the offer, directing customers to log into the MyMTN App and select “Redeem Now” on the anniversary banner or access the promotion 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,” the company said.
It added: “You may also click on the link contained in the SMS notification you received regarding the offer.”
MTN urged subscribers to verify promotional messages and information through its official communication channels before taking any action.
The company also said the 25GB free data bundle would remain valid until 11:59pm on the stated expiry date, advising eligible customers to redeem the offer before the validity period ends.
The warning follows the circulation of various online posts and links purporting 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 that request personal information, payments or other sensitive details in exchange for the purported giveaway.
