“Although the fraudulent Facebook pages are too numerous to mention, our attention has been especially drawn to the following account: ‘TB Joshua Ministry Can Change The World.’
“We were shocked to see the account has well over 40,000 followers and the writer of the site is even receiving prayer requests from people in the name of TB. Joshua. What appalling deceit! It is time to put an end to this.”
The General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, has raised the alarm over the activities of fraudsters who now swindle people using his name and that of his church.
He described the situation as disheartening as the fraudsters had introduced several blogs and Facebook accounts to swindle unsuspecting members of the church and other donors worldwide.
Prophet TB Joshua who raised the alarm at the weekend through the church’s official Facebook page, said he had never had a personal account on the social internet site, but was shocked to discover that several people had opened accounts in his name while others have done it through the church and some of its ministries through which they swindle unsuspecting members of the public.
In some cases, some of the fraudsters have thousands of followers and loyalists on such fake Facebook pages.
According to a warning the Prophet posted on TB Joshua Ministries, and titled: ‘Beware Of Fraudsters On Facebook,’ he called the attention of the public to the alleged nefarious activities of the fraudsters calling it an urgent message to all true friends and partners of the SCOAN and Emmanuel TV.
According to him, “we are saddened to discover that people are still being deceived by individuals on Facebook claiming to be representing Prophet TB. Joshua, the SCOAN or Emmanuel TV.
“As we have stated several times before, TB Joshua, the SCOAN and Emmanuel TV has only one official Facebook page, which is: TB Joshua Ministries…any account claiming to represent TB Joshua, the SCOAN of Emmanuel TV is fraudulent.
“There is no official account on Facebook for TB Joshua, the Wise Men or any individual connected with the ministry,” the prophet said, adding that a quick search on Facebook “shows well over 100 people have created pages claiming to be TB Joshua and countless more are deceptively using the names of SCOAN and Emmanuel TV.
He said many of them are on the social site to extort money under false pretence.

ReplyDeleteO.I.
That is the issue with social media, we just have to live with it and keep improving until infinity
ReplyDeleteThe root of this problem is corruption! Ppl have seen the way some of these pastors live and they want to cash in on it. God is using this incident to touch d heart of all pastors in nigeria to preach seriuosly against corruption. I won't be surprised if these ppl come into d church and steal d offerings. That's how rotten Nigeria has become.
ReplyDeleteI don't support evil but if evil must occur let it happen to evil people. This man is a false prophet who brain-washed dumb fools that follow him.
ReplyDeleteChurches should not be permitted to take donations beyond what sustains them. That would show the REAL men of God and the true religion!!
If Pastors like Chris Okotie r busy driving flashy cars,wearing flashy attires,showing off with all d material stuff they have and ppl all around them are hungry,that is when ppl try to use their name and image to make a quick buck.
ReplyDeleteIs it good? Nooo! But our society and institutions have been corrupted by all and ppl in position have shown d wrong examples.
@Sunny, it is people like u that, after speaking evil against the annointed man of God, TB Joshua, still go ahead to steal his identity to dupe innocent citizens. People no longer fear God. Using the servant of God's name to commit attrocity, thereby acquiring a generational course. May God have mercy on you people. - NJC.
ReplyDeleteWho is this Sunny to tell us somebody is a fake prophet? Are you God? It is you that call people who are going about their legitimate religion fools that is foolish. Just because they don't attend your church! To the best of my knowledge, God has not appointed anyone HIS Personal Assistant. We are all seeking Him. If you are jealous or envious of T. B. Joshua, you and others like you, should think accurately before you open your mouth in the public.
