A good friend of ours at Public Words, a successful public speaker, recently received a speaking inquiry from a prestigious university in the United Kingdom. Of course, he might have been newly appointed, but his command of the English language was so bad that our friend was immediately suspicious. All signs seemed to point to fraud. And, in addition, the amount of money offered for speaking was unusually large β the final straw. My question to everyone is: have you run across anything similar?
I just received a similar inquiry from Victory Outreach in the UK. So they are still running this scam. I just got a similar scam letter as well. The email makes no sense to me except out of some kinds of infraction motivation. Just got the same scam. I have just responded to an invitation to speak in a conference next month at Victory Outreach, sorry about this scam. I just thought of checking who is this Jonathan Rogers- I was suspicious.
May the Lord deliver them from the hands of the devil. May the Lord encourage you to keep up the His good work. Pdt Ken, Kenya. Just got the same invite for January to speak. Requesting me to be their guest speaker on July 9th to July 11, Could not reach them yesterday so I send them an email.
Telling them I could not reach them. They email this morning telling me they could not reach me on the number that I provide them Praise God my husband suggested to Google the area code.
These people is in need of prayers. Lord help them. These people are crazy!!! This is a mess!! I just received an invitation to preach all the way in Londonβ¦β¦oh my what a blessing. I was a detective before becoming a pastor and have worked nearly a hundred of these types of oversea scams. They find a niche and ask for a bunch of personal info and then sell it for fake identities. If anyone sends an email invite, without first a phone call, be extremely suspicious, especially if you do not personally know the person inviting you.
