Speaking during Thursday’s session, Bassey cautioned followers about scammers creating fake YouTube pages to deceive viewers.
He revealed that impostors “criminally clone” his official channel to hijack the live stream and earn money through fake broadcasts.
“People are streaming the Hallelujah Challenge from cloned pages just to make money,” he said. “Our official YouTube page is NathanielBasseymain. Any other channel is fake and trying to profit from God’s work.”
Bassey explained that while some have criticised him for not monetising the event, his decision stems from spiritual conviction. “We won’t monetise the Hallelujah Challenge. God will bless us in other ways,” he said.
He urged participants to stay vigilant and ensure they only join the authentic page to avoid falling victim to scammers.
