I was having 1,230 i thought it was my business partners thats calling cos I do importation business but when I called i was having 60 naira only.

then d next day I called and was having 435 b4 it was drained to 7naira.

have called mtn and notified them of it and given them all the 7numbers they call with and I wont ever call any one that flashes me.

this guys are hungry let the federal government pay each citizen 40,000 naira so some ideal minds can eat.

una dey sure say no be Yar'adua dey flash una from Saudi? try reason am.

The numbers are not exhaustive.

They can use several other numbers to FLASH.

EFCC, GSM operators, NCC and other agencies should quickly step in and stop this fraud.
In the interim, do not call back any number that starts with a plus sign (especially if you don't know the number).

Exercise due caution.

Re: Beware Of The Following Phone Numbers: by omafones: 8:15pm On Jan 18, 2010
It very simple - these are premium number lines, anytime you call them you pay 5 times the normal tariff and they share the money with the telecom provider.
Most countries ensure that providers of these premium services are not allowed to call or flash and get you to call back. They used to do thay big time in the UK and you could spend up £4 a minute listening to rubbish.

NCC should force all providers of premium rate numbers to advertise their call charges prominently, actually in developed countries if you call a premium rate number you will get a message telling you that the call you are about to make will cost you so so amount. Also all premium number must start with the same numbers for instance in US all numbers that start 1-900 are premium rate, in UK it is 0990, other countries have their own.

As usual Nigerian licensing aothorities will be so slow to catch on to this and so called entrepeurs will capitalise on our general ignorance.

No be juju oh!!

Re: Beware Of The Following Phone Numbers: by OhGrey(m): 10:44pm On Jan 18, 2010
Please people should stop screaming Naija! Naija! as if this place is the worst place on earth. Yeah! yeah! we aren't the best but damn we aren't the worst either. If one takes time to read the posts on this thread you will ave noted people mentioning other places where this sort of scam had been done before.
And before s1 takes me on that, no! am not involved in this despicable act neither do I support it in any way. My own opinion is instead of being overly dramatic and cussing our fatherland (since this is nairaland, i guess am talking to mainly nigerians) just:
(1) Note the information being shared.
(2) Share your own experiences or advice
(3) Tell other folks around you
But please, stop CUSSING Nigeria. Its a bad habit which most of us(me inclusive) have. Its like cussing your child. It always comes back somehow cos there IS a lot of power in spoken word.
