Impersonation, Fraud, and Scam Warning

Bishop Marvin L. Sapp has been the subject of impersonators, fake social media pages, and fraudulent dating and messaging schemes for nearly a decade. These scams continue to spread rapidly despite ongoing efforts to remove them.

The Chosen Vessel Church and Bishop Sapp’s office work directly with social media platforms to shut down fraudulent accounts. Unfortunately, technology has made it easier for scammers to create convincing and harmful schemes that prey on unsuspecting individuals. This causes significant stress to Bishop Sapp, his family, and the church, and it is equally distressing when individuals are victimized.
