Bogus 'content charges'

<p>Last year, for several months, MTN had been debiting a little more than my usual monthly subscription fee. When I eventually checked up with them I discovered that it was because of an additional 'content charge'. I called, around October, to ask what that was and they told me I had allegedly subscribed to some 3rd party service called MTN Android games, which I knew nothing about. The service was cancelled, on my request.</p> <p> </p> <p>This January, another 'content charge' surfaced, this time it was Caramba Best Games, to which I had to call and have it cancelled. I queried it, challenged it, and all MTN could do is say the 3rd party has confirmed that I voluntarily subscribed, so the charge remains. All they did was to cancel it. This morning, I noticed a NEW content charge on my MTN invoice, it is said to be from Opera Telecomms. All I could do (I feel powerless against MTN) is request for the subscription to be cancelled. I fear reversing the debit order would just tarnish my credit record.</p> <p> </p> <p>Since December 2016, the sim card has been in a wifi router, so how the hell would I be able to subsrcibe to anything with that number?! This is ********, really! Caramba Best Games people say they sent me an invite via sms and I confirmed my subscription, but how would I be able to do that on a screenless portable wifi router?!</p> <p> </p> <p>How does this keep happening to me?! How is it so easy for 3rd party companies to be doing this to MTN customers?! How is my number always subscribing to things I have never heard of?! Is there some sort of collusion between MTN and these companies?! I agree with the customer that said it is as though MTN is trying to recover it's losses in Nigeria from us. Shame on you MTN!</p>
