Online fraudsters have set up fake profiles for Bishop Neil Ellis to solicit money from unsuspecting users, officials from Mount Tabor Church have warned.
Ellis is senior pastor at Mount Tabor.
The church has cautioned people from sending money to these fraudsters.
Several people have fallen victim to the scheme; however, church officials do not know how many have sent money to the imposters, according to Miranda Inniss, Ellis' publicist.
Inniss said that as recently as last week, a user of a fake profile with the bishop's name and image solicited money for an orphanage.
"That's something that we have been dealing with for at least three years," she said.
"It's really something that's unavoidable. It happens constantly. There are a lot of imposters out there; I think there are at least three pages with his name on it.
"Whenever Facebook takes them down, somebody redoes it. It's a recurring problem."
Inniss said she does not know where the imposters live but she suspects they are foreigners.
A Facebook user, who did not want to be named, said a person using Ellis' name and image added her as a friend on Facebook a few weeks ago.
The user told The Nassau Guardian that the imposter began sending her private messages last week and then asked her to send money.
The user said she became suspicious after the imposter repeatedly sent her messages demanding money.
Inniss said the bishop does not have a personal Facebook profile but a general page that users can 'like' and follow.
She said Ellis was out of the country and unavailable for comment.
