MTN Happy Hour Browsing Is A Scam by kessiah: 2:59am On Aug 07, 2015
I am writing this post with anger, after been scam by MTN for the third time, I want to let my fellow Nigerians be aware of this before falling victims.
MTN have been advertising their so called Happy Hour, that is, use up To N200 during the day and you will be eligible to browse from 1am to 5am free ( what an odd time to wait and browse)
The first day I use more than N200, I waited till after 1am to browse, but my remaining airtime was wiped, I called the customer service, the lady asked me if I received any SMS from them, I was speechless and defenceless, I give up that day
The second day I received SMS from them, telling me that I Am eligible to browse during the next Happy Hour, When I did (almost 1:30am) My Airtime of over N100 was taken and I couldn't open a page, when I called again the lady told me that she can't access my database (Scammers language)
This morning again I fell a victim, after spending over N200 yesterday, just to be able to browse, staying awake till now, them still wiped my N88, calling the customer service, them keep repeating that scammers language
Please my fellow Nigerians, MTN Happy Hour Browsing is a Scam and a way to steal your Airtime

Thank you. I've been wondering how to use it at the same time knowing fully well it was a scam. Your post has confirmed what I had in mind all along.

Bros, every thing you said is TRUE and it is exactly what happened to me. I bought N300 worth of air time and almost spent it all calling every Dick, Tom and Harry so as to browse 1am to 5am later that night, I even went as far as buying lots of fuel for my gen since I know there will not be light at that time of the night. When the time came, 1am precisely, I switched on my Gen, powered on my Computer, connected to the internet only to wipe out the small amount of airtime remaining on my Sims.
Fuming with anger, I contacted MTN customer care immediately by dialing 180, only to be told by a lady that I should have waited to receive a confirmation text from MTN before I started browsing, in order words, even if you spend N1000 where you were told to spend at least N200, you might still not be able to browse. She said spending the mount is still not enough, their “stupid system” must choose you after you have spent the desired amount, is this what they advertised?, capital NO.
It all boils down to one thing, they are thieves, and they are out to scam people of their hard earned resources, period. Please, do not fall a victim.

@JIRATE
When I said 3rd time, I mean it, the 1st time was like ur case, the customer agent told me that I must receive SMS, the 2nd and the 3rd time, I received SMS. Since then I have been calling them 2 refund my money, since I asked them 2 review records in which they discovered that they can't lie about it,but them keep giving one reason or the other, either their Engineers are all OFF, or they don't work NIGHT, or they don't work on SUNDAY, or they are ALL on LEAVE, see reasons a telecommunication company is giving
Its just that other Networks don't want to set up their game
