MTN Nigeria has cautioned subscribers against fraudulent 25GB anniversary giveaway offers circulating online, urging customers to rely only on its official platforms.
The company issued the warning through its support account on X, advising Nigerians not to click suspicious links, share personal information, or make payments on unauthorized sites claiming to offer the anniversary bundle.
“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 stated.
MTN explained that eligible subscribers can access the offer by logging into the MyMTN App and tapping “Redeem Now” on the anniversary banner, or via the MTN eShop. Customers may also activate the bundle through the link contained in the SMS notification sent directly by MTN.
The telecom giant emphasized that the 25GB free data bundle remains valid until 11:59 p.m. on the stated expiry date and urged subscribers to redeem the offer within the validity period.
The warning comes amid the spread of fake online posts and links purporting to offer free MTN data as part of the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations. MTN reiterated that only its official channels should be trusted for promotions.
