A
fraudulent ‘pastor’ parading himself as Household of God’s Rev. Chris
Okotie is soliciting for donations “to save the life of a baby born with
a tumour on her face and head.” But Rev. Okotie has disowned the
Facebook account (Chris Okotie) through which the scammer deceives the
general public.Interestingly, the fake Rev. Okotie’s Facebook account has over 500 followers and friends, who don’t even know it is not real.
The
social media has since been invaded by scammers who defraud
unsuspecting people of their hard earned money and sometimes
possessions. Apart from hacking through a victim’s account, the smart
guys deploy several tricks to make money from their victims.
Rev.
Chris Okotie, who is also a presidential aspirant on the platform of
Fresh Democratic Party, is not the only minister of the gospel whose
identity has been compromised to scam folks.
Redeemed’s General
Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Bishops David Oyedepo of Living Faith
Church (Winners), Sam Amaga and host of other prominent pastors have
also fallen victims of internet fraudsters.
At the time of filing
this report, the fake Okotie’s Facebook account has not been removed by
the former wonder boy of pop and founder of Household of God’s Church.
