EXCLUSIVE STORY: Nigerians Companies with Their Scam on Promo

The industrial giants in Nigeria and their fraudulent activities, despite their exorbitant prices and insatiable customer services, they still participant in fraudulent activities like scamming their customers to get profits and increase sales of their goods with their deceitful promo.

I received a text message as a mockery to MTN earlier promo, the message goes thus ‘’MTN DON COME AGAIN O! XMAS BUMPER, WIN A BANK AND OTHER CONSOLATION PRICES LIKE, PRINT YOUR MONEY, AND OWN AN ATM MACHINE. TEXT “OLE” TO 419. It is a mockery to earlier version of MTN promo that says ‘’RECHARGE AND WIN A PLANE’’.

Come to think of it, what about ‘’ESSIEN GARRICKS’’ that was randomly picked from a university in Port-Harcourt claiming has won a Cessna 182T Aircraft, who MTN eventually claim was given 64 million naira. MTN! MTN!! MTN!!!

In recent development, MTN in collaboration with DON JAZZY, came up with ‘’KAROKE WITH DON JAZZY AND WIN A PORSCHE’’ After a while, we didn’t see or hear anything about the winner, the car, and the recording deal. At least, it’s not up to 5years, they should still be surfacing on the news, internet, and all media ventures for at least a minimum of 2 years or once in a while.

Every of the winner is nowhere to be found after the announcement of the claimed winnings on TVs and Newspapers and other media.

When we were growing up, Pepsi use to hold promos like “Drink and qualify for Raffle Draw to win 500 thousand naira”. Till today, everyone I have come across still doesn’t know anyone who had won the 500 thousand naira.

Recently, Pepsi in collaboration with Airtel, did a promo ‘’DRINK AND RECHARGE’’ what happens afterwards is you drinking and recharging only to get 60secs worth of airtime. I will rather buy airtime whereby I will have more minutes to talk than drink Pepsi and get a 60 seconds airtime.

However, the public is suffering bad services from either our network providers or other companies. I am therefore using this media to beg these companies to please stop deceiving your customers. If not for the corruption in the country, frauds like this should be brought to limelight. I am only begging for them to come out with the truth and let people see them for who they are. The fraud is enough. The people can take it no more.
