Coming on the heels of another hoax in April, Lakewood Church and Joel Osteen are among other ministers reaching to fans on Facebook and Twitter about fake social media accounts being made in their name. Others being targeted include Rick Warren, Benny Hinn and Jamal Bryant.
An elaborate scheme in early April had a fake Osteen claiming to be quitting his ministry citing "lack of faith." Obviously this wasn't true, but it was widespread enough for the Lakewood camp to issue a statement refuting it.
The fake Osteen Facebook pages have been making friend requests, soliciting money, and even offering jobs to would-be victims, who were to send the faux Osteen their banking information. Lakewood and Osteen are asking that people encountering these scam profiles report them to Facebook.
