If truly this news is real, I guess the pastor church should be lock until he return the crypto  to the member because that is a stealing, which is not allow in the church even in the society is not allow. Do u no say something like this no fit happen in our country naija because our eyes don open well well for crypto, but e fit happen for money aspect because miracle dey make our people sow seed for pastor to see vision for them.

Person like me pastor no go fit tell me to sow crypto seed for him wen d pastor no say crypto is not legal in d country and that will be the end of me coming to that church because u don't need to force people to give to God according to the holy Bible talk.

What I don't understand is this what has cryto has to do with the church and between pastor and his member this is so strange at same time sounds funny anyways people can get scammed through different means so one has to be careful I just pity those who fall victim in the hands of scammers

E get as the thing be sha because how manage way church go they do Bitcoin, though if na something way happen for all this big countries e fit be true because na them they fancy anything digital pass us because if na Nigeria church you go and hear say Bitcoin na things way the church also they into na your body go tell you say no be were you suppose they, they worship God, all this story way we they hear for churches supposed they tell people story say make them check pastor before them enter.

I am beginning to question Christianity. Why do most of the negative stories about religion come from Christian leaders? There are numerous stories about the atrocities committed by pastors. You rarely hear such from other religious leaders. Why is it so easy for people to impersonate pastors and take advantage of members?

We have seen the proliferation of churches because the church is now viewed as a company where wealth can be generated, and you see men of God preaching about giving while they are unable to give to the poor people around them but would gladly open their hands to receive from those to whom they should be giving.

In fact, the people's problems stem from their belief that only the church can provide a solution, and they are willing to pay whatever amount pastors request in order to attract God's blessings. People should be sensitized so that they can come out from this ignorance.

Even before now the Bible recorded it that fake prophets/pastors will raise and that's exactly what is happening, the anti Christ are targeting Christianity for a reason and they will do anything to tanish the image of Christians worldwide just to prevent them from preaching the Gospel of Christ. Many scammers disguise themselves as pastors because they know that Christians won't judge, it is written in the Bible that we should judge not so that ye may not be judged, it is also written that touch not my annoited and do my prophet no harm, and these has made Christians to fall victim of scam by fake prophets. I know a fake prophets when I see one (I won't judge and I don't go close to them) when a pastor start demanding for too much, just know that you are in for a rollercoaster ride. Let's be wise as it is written in the same Bible that we should be as wise as a serpent.

My simple advice be – once any investment get any religious undertone, avoid am. E get why, and the why be sey investment and religion nor suppose rub mind. It's either you face religion squarely or you do investment. Anyway, most people nor dey put dis thing to practice. Well, Bible don talk am sey na lack of knowledge dey make people perish.

Na dis simple principle save me from dat Sam Zuga token. A lot of noise around me wen dat project dey go on from people wey dey try push me into it but I stood my ground. I reason am sey d said Zuga dude wey get the project na clergyman and dat na red flag for my book. Even if my pastor introduce any project tomorrow, me nor go put shishi for inside.

I'm sick and tired of this ugly incidents always paving into trends. I'm not longer surprise because it's a cruel world we lived in. Anyone can manipulates just to filled his pockets with enough money, all for what exactly? But to speak out, there are high number of false men of GOD that have built churches for services and unknown to the innocent people, they attend and become members, where does that leads them?

We read trends and this one picks more of my interest because it has to do with these men of GOD. I've thoroughly made my research and witness some ugly points and scenes of these profound men of GOD. What's this world turning into? People are no longer afraid of GOD, they engaged in sophisticated sins that would deeply condem their souls. It's gotten to the point where pastors now scam their church members of crypto, it's funny how it sounds because men of GOD are the last category of people to anticipate in scams. Alot have happen in since the digital age come to stay.

I do not like the way you have projected this topic because it somehow looks like you are trying to paint pastors looks bad. Maybe your topic would have been "Man disguised as a pastor steals from members" not that a pastor stole when we know that based on his actions, he is no true pastor abi na Man of God. E dey unfortunate though say all these fake fake people dey use office of pastor take dey do bad, office wey dem normally suppose use take dey affect people life positively.

You may not like it but the op is saying what happened and as a matter of fact that is what most people who called themselves pastors are doing now, deceiving people with words but I still ask how do they even do it because how can someone come and deceive me to do that kind of thing because he or she is a pastor first of all I have issues believing and trusting people so easily reason because almost everything is not real on earth here and I have also seen people been deceived so why will I fall victim it means I'm not learning if I do...

It is not even about a fake pastor or not, people should always use their brain before investing in anything. Investment should not about you trust someone. It should be able you not let anyone scam you.

You are totally correct, that is why it’s very important to conduct research on every news we heard, whether crypto, politics etc. We should always make sure that what they are introducing us to do is genuine because there are many ways they do fraud people this days and it’s hurts me that most people don’t really makes a research about it, that is why they always fall a victim to fraudsters.
That is we have our mobile phones and technology has made things easier for us, is either you make use of your phone or you ask around, if people is really into it before we can proceed to invest or not.

Well, making research is good but doesn't work often. I could remember then when I was scammed. When I had about the stuff, I took my time to make research on it but I still later fall a victim of scam. Scammer are so wise this days that they often make things look real as if it's original. What I do nowadays is that I reject any offer that sound to be too huge to be real.

just ask you have said when someone is been scammed, they often do not have that time to make research,  because scammer typically creates what we called the sense of urgency or what we call pressure to ack quickly  most people lake the human sense of critical thinking this means falling to think of critically or question the situation the situation can make it easier for scammer to succeed. And there what we can "Act now or Miss out" this are strategy can be used most for the victims.

Making research works all the time, except you fail to conduct extensive research, when they say research, it doesn’t just mean reading up about that thing online and jumping into it, there are a lot of things that are involved when researching and if you’re not thorough, you could end up missing something. Yeah it’s possible that you may not be able to see anything, maybe because the scammers covered their tracks smartly or your expectation is that it’s real and this could also also mess with your rational thinking and also your ability to push your investigation further to the point where you may have actually found something that will answer your questions.

Most persons went into the ministry with an evil mindset just to scam members, am never surprised to hear such news even the holy Bible said it time like this will surely come to pass, we shouldn't be decevied not all that called upon the name of the Lord are truly called by God so we should know this most persons whom you see people calling pastors now is just a tittle they are no real men of God, I believe that it is those that are not rooted into the word of God that can fall into the hands of this so called pastor by their teaching alone one will definitely know that this one is a fake man of God.

Pastors are humans that have flesh and blood running in their veins, that some one is a pastor shouldn't be any reason to trust, humans are naturally imperfect being that change at any given time though it is so disheartening but we shouldn't be surprised on hearing things of this kind because it is also going to be an eye opener for others to learn too not to trust, people can never stop from being partnership in business or investment is all about trading with close watch end to end.

But it is always good for true men of God to be trustworthy, truthful and just to their followers and anything they share with their followers in terms of sermon, baptism or prayers should be with all sense of respect, positivity and optimism. These are some of the unique characteristics of purposeful men of God and I will always encourage my Christian brothers to pay attention to these issues we mentioned. Don't jump into attending any kind of church simply because your friends or peers are in attendance, this is a matter of faith and not show off.

Therefore, I encourage us to always scrutinize our religious clerics and sometimes, in litmus test to understand their patterns then know the decision you're taking from an individual informed position.

Facts that align with my way ot though I wonder why many of our people are drained in thinking and they believe more in some one integrity than themselves and even invest their life savings without agreement even in the place of agreement religious portfolio is never a yardstick for trusting someone when it has to deal with financial investment, an investor must be very careful and be sure if what his going into and know if genuine or not not just because of pastor or any religion position is involved. It's no longer news as many have fallen victims of various scam as related to that of religious relationship   during investment, all that glitters is not gold.

I seriously wasn’t surprised at all about the story of the pastor stealing millions of dollars from his congregation. Someone turning the religious symbols as a tool rather using it as a way of life, because this has happened far too many times in cities and even countries. They are fully aware that there is hope for a lot of people and they use it. But what irks me more is, it’s not just the pastors who are doing wrong things, what bothers me is that so many people are willing to give everything without asking.

This has nothing to do with not believing in God, but too many people are offering up there common sense too. In my opinion, faith doesn’t need any greedy intermediary. Do not allow someone to mortgage your future by the guarantee of instant blessing. You could never need big stage to show honesty. Giving should be from a clear heart and with freedom of thought and not borned of fear or coercion. If you are told they require money to do miracles then you know the answer.

I often see post like of how member are scammed by their pastors. For me I would say that if the members don't give the pastor the opportunity to scam them, then he wouldn't scam them. The world of cryptocurrency is full of risk, and nobody not even the pastors should be above scrutiny. We have to be very careful.

Faith is good yes, but that doesn't mean that someone should turn off his brain in the process,. God gave us sense for reasoning, then it should always be used
