Open letter to NCC on MTN spam messages by Naijasinglegirl

Dear NCC,

Please take action on MTN. I can no longer stand my inbox, no thanks to them. This madness has been going on for a couple of months but it reached its crescendo mid-last month.

I feel these messages are a form of punishment to me concerning the last letter I wrote to MTN. I have called 180 twice to complain of this but each time, the customer service guy cuts me off with ‘Thank you for calling maam’.

These messages sometimes comes in form of flash messages, meaning, if I carelessly touch my screen, ME and MY CREDIT ARE FINISHED FOR LIFE!

How can they ask a grown up like me to

text indomie to 5030 to know the colour of indomie pack. Are they mad or stupid?

I should text YES to 5038 if I am tired of being broke. Do they know who my father is?

I should text IQ for daily riddles. Don’t I have better daily problems to solve?

All these messages costs N50 naira. Are they that desperate?

This is coming at a time I have four creditors. I’m on the verge of hypertension each time my inbox blinks. Rather than get credit alerts, here is what I received.

This is how it all began! I receive four spam messages within three hours. A summary of my inbox that week

.

I sms stop to opt out. Lai lai dem no gree. They replied me with the same spam!

I got really infuriated. I had to abuse them but that didn’t work either.

The messages still continued. They had swore for me!

This particular message is the most annoying. What manner of Insult!

With the credit their mama gave me?

Finally, I became humble. I had to plead with them but my pleas fell on deaf ears reason I had to make this public.

The above is just a peek of the madness in my inbox.

I also want to us this opportunity to make three facts clear to MTN.

1. I will never ever buy any callertunez! The sooner they stop telling me to text 33112 to 4100 to receive olodo girl (WTH does that mean anyway) as callertunez, the better for them.

2. I have and will never be ill. Stop insulting me by asking ‘Are you tired of getting ill?’ Have some F***ING RESPECT FOR YOUR SUBSCRIBER!

3. They send me messages as early as 4am. Are these people witches or wizards?

These messages would have been understandable if I won my phone from them.

I am honestly tired of being victimised. Looking at the dates of the messages, this letter is long overdue. When I attempted to write last week, they doubled my airtime balance by 100% but I came back to my senses when the unused credit was withdrawn from my phone at midnight.

Please NCC, don’t advise me to port to another network. For some weird reasons I’m stuck with them that’s why I need this change.

I have been tolerating MTN for 9 years.

I have been an Arsenal fan for 9 years.

I have been banking with ECOBank for 9 years.

PHCN has been my sole provider of power supply. (Generator spoilt 9 years ago)

I have been single for 9 years.

Do you guys feel the pain of a Nigerian girl?

NCC, please do something!

My email address is naijasinglegirl@gmail.com should MTN need my three MTN phone numbers to effect this change.

Thank you.
