This Guy Made Over $7 Million Charging People for Prayers Online

Through a well organized scam website, Benjamin Rogovy made millions of dollars by taking advantage of people’s religious beliefs.
Through his website, ChristianPrayerCenter.com, he led people to believe that ministers and religious leaders would pray for them if they paid between $9 and $35 for the service.

 o make the internet scam seem genuine, Rogovy posed as Pastor John Carlson, a fictitious character with a professional-looking LinkedIn profile. He created other fake profiles for ministers who could provide private consultations and perform religious ceremonies through ChristianPrayerCenter.com and its Spanish version, OracionCristiana.org. Both websites contained fake testimonials of people who, with the help of his prayers, had been able to avoid home foreclosures, win the lottery, have healthy babies, and even be cured of HIV.  The scheme worked perfectly for four very profitable years, and at the height of its popularity, Rogovy’s pay-to-pray service had a whopping 1,289,120 likes on Facebook. People posted all their prayers online and sent money in hopes that it would lead to small miracles.Between 2011 and 2015,“businessman” Benjamin Rogovy made millions of dollars by taking advantage of people’s religious beliefs. This man should be jailed and everything he has acquired be given to charity.
