MTN Nigeria has warned subscribers against fake 25GB anniversary giveaway offers circulating online, urging customers to rely only on the company’s official platforms to access the promotion.

The telecommunications giant issued the warning through its official support account on X on Saturday, cautioning Nigerians against clicking suspicious links, sharing personal information or making payments on websites and platforms claiming to offer the anniversary data bundle.

MTN stated that the official 25GB Anniversary Giveaway is available only through the MyMTN NG App and 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 warned.

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.

“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.

“You may also click on the link contained in the SMS notification you received regarding the offer,” MTN stated.

The company further advised subscribers to rely exclusively on messages and information received through its official channels when accessing the anniversary promotion.

MTN also said the 25GB free data bundle would remain valid until 11:59pm on the stated expiry date, urging eligible customers 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 are therefore advised to avoid unauthorised websites and platforms requesting personal details, payments or other sensitive information in exchange for the purported giveaway.

Customers should only access the promotion through the MyMTN NG App, MTN eShop or legitimate SMS notifications from MTN.
