Globacom has unveiled two mega promos, Glo Overload and Glo Allawee as a way of rewarding its subscribers.

Glo Overload automatically credits subscribers with 200 percent airtime and data bonus and offers them an opportunity to be 100 times richer every time they recharge with N200 or more.  Subscribers also stand a chance to win N120 million cash prizes during the promo. Glo Allawee, on its part gives every new customer N18,000 worth of free airtime for calls and text messages.

The two offers are part of a series of promos being unveiled by the company to create unprecedented excitement for millions of subscribers on the network.

Under Glo Overload promo, subscribers are guaranteed 200 percent bonus airtime automatically for every airtime recharge of N200 denomination and above.

For instance, a subscriber who recharges with N200 will automatically get N600 airtime; a N500 recharge will give the subscriber N1,500 airtime;  a N1,000 recharge  will give N3,000 airtime to the subscriber; N2,000 recharge will give N6,000 airtime and N5,000 recharge will give the subscriber a whopping N15,000 airtime. Subscribers are to dial *200# to signify interest in receiving the Overload bonus and subsequently get the bonus as many times as they recharge their airtime.

Additionally, Glo Overload gives subscribers 200 percent bonus data for new data plan or renewal from N2000 and above. Consequently, subscribers get 2GB of data for N2,000 worth of data they buy, 4.5GB for N3,000 data plan, 12GB for N5,000 data plan and 24GB for  N8,000 worth of data plan they purchase.

Also, Glo subscribers stand a chance to become 100 times richer in cash every time they recharge with N200 and above or buy data bundles of N2,000 and above. The winners will emerge through lucky draws to be done electronically throughout the duration of the promo.

For instance, a subscriber who recharges with N5000 airtime or data bundle stands a chance to win N500,000 cash every time he or she recharges with that denomination.

Speaking on the Glo Overload promo, Mr. Ashok Israni, regional chief marketing officer, said this is Globacom’s way of rewarding its esteemed customers for their consistent loyalty, and also for thanking new customers for choosing the network.

He urged telecommunication subscribers across the country wishing to benefit from Glo Overload to dial *200# on their phones. They will consequently be admitted to the promo platform and be able to enjoy all the promised benefits.

The second promo, Glo Allawee, enables subscribers to get free airtime of N50 everyday when they use N50 or more on calls, text messages or data before 10pm. The bonus is credited the following day and can be used to make calls or send text messages to Glo lines only.

According to David Maji, Globacom’s national sales coordinator, “Glo Allawee was developed to encourage and empower teeming subscribers to join the network and begin to enjoy many other benefits which Glo provides on a daily basis.”

“Subscribers who activate a new SIM and achieve the usage target of N50 before 10pm on a day will get an additional N50 airtime and can earn up to N18,000 worth of free airtime in one year of activation,” said Maji.

To enjoy the benefits of Glo Allawee, customers are encouraged to buy a new Glo sim, dial *170*7# and use up to N50 on calls, data or sms.

Glo Allawee is one of the many innovations the Glo Network has introduced as part of its commitment to promoting friendship through efficient communications among Nigerians. “We will continue to provide innovative services to Nigerians at affordable rates. It is a commitment we have made in serving our subscribers better.” he concluded.

Globacom explained that these offers, among many others lined up for release, are coming after a massive nationwide network enhancement and modernization project that has seen major components of the network swapped with state-of-the-art equipment.

As a result of the expansion and modernization, Globacom said the capacity of the Glo network and quality of service have significantly been boosted, thereby guaranteeing Globacom subscribers enjoyable experience on the network during and after the promotions.

Sophos Report Highlights Cyber Risks During Holiday Shopping Season

Published

Kindly share this post

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday around the corner, we’re entering a high-risk period for cybersecurity.
A recent Sophos report highlights that malicious emails were the second most common root cause of ransomware attacks in critical sectors, responsible for 25% of cases.

During peak shopping days, this threat intensifies.

Here’s what happens: with the surge in online deals, more employees may be shopping from their work computers, feeling that Cyber Monday is a legitimate time to do so.

This increases the risk of them clicking more freely and potentially exposing the organization to malicious links or phishing attacks.

To keep your organization safe, encourage your team to follow these simple tips:

• Use an ad blocker – Advertisements are not only tracking your every movement and collecting enough information on your habits to make the FBI blush, but they are also a major source of malicious links and deceptive content on the internet. Not only is your browsing safer, but also faster and uses less bandwidth. Two of our favorites are uBlock Origin and Ghostery.
• Use private browsing or incognito mode – To prevent your shopping habits and interests from following you around from site to site (and potentially revealing what gifts you might be purchasing to others using your device, bonus!), you should enable private browsing (Firefox) or incognito mode (Chrome). This will block tracking cookies and help the internet forget your travels as the waves wash away your footprints in the sand.
• Make your browser “privacy smart” – The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) provides a browser extension called Privacy Badger designed to automatically make all the right choices around browsing whilst maintaining our privacy and blocking invisible trackers.
• Avoid using one account on multiple services – When logging into an e-commerce site it is often tempting to use the “Sign in with Facebook” or “Sign in with Google” button. While it takes a few more minutes to create a new login, it will provide more privacy as you are not sharing all of the sites you shop at with these tech giants.
• Use guest login when available – In addition to letting you use an account from other websites, many have an option to use a guest login rather than creating a new account. This is a great option if you don’t expect to need technical support or to do business on a recurring basis. Fewer passwords, fewer personal details, fewer problems if they get hacked.
• Don’t save card details – Many e-commerce sites will default to storing your credit card information in your profile for your “convenience” (or their hope you’ll shop there again). They can’t lose what they don’t have, so tell them not to store your credit card unless it is absolutely necessary.
• Use temporary card numbers – Many financial institutions now offer temporary or one-time use credit card numbers. You can open the app on your phone or in your browser and get a single-use disposable credit card number preventing card fraud and tracking when merchants share card processors. Sometimes you’re even able to specify a card limit per temporary number to further protect your account.
• Use credit, not debit – All of us need to be wary of overspending during the holidays, but it is best to leave the debit card at home. Credit cards offer significantly more protection against online fraud, and you are in the power position in a dispute. You can simply not pay your bill while disputing the charge, rather than having criminals directly drain your bank account of your hard-earned cash.
• Beware of direct messages via social media/chat apps – With modern generative AI technology it is almost trivial to create an entire fake online store and lure people to share their personal information and payment data with you. It’s safest to shop at established sites or those personally recommended to you by friends and family. Many unsolicited messages lead to data collection or theft.

• Don’t click deals in email that look too good to be true or are from businesses you don’t have accounts from – these could be phishing emails hoping to bait you into clicking links to bogus, malicious web sites.

This season, small steps can make a big difference in protecting against cyber threats.
