A few nights ago I awoke and turned on the TV. I was shocked to see an infomercial for Peter Popoff Ministries. I had not heard that name in awhile. I thought he was in prison or dead. If you don’t know who Peter Popoff is then let me give you a short history lesson. He was a televangelist in the 1980’s and a self proclaimed prophet and faith healer who conducted revival meetings. Skeptics James Randi and Alec Jason secretly video taped his method of receiving information about revival attendees from his wife via an in-ear receiver. They then exposed him on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Later that year, 1987, Popoff filed for bankruptcy.
Popoff is now at it again. He is now pushing Miracle Spring Water, for a donation of course. He claims that if you get the water then you will receive “miracle money” from god. You can see a clip of the infomercial on his website www.peterpopoff.org . If you watched the clip then you may have noticed that most of the participants were older African-Americans. Popoff tells them they will receive their miracle money to pay off debts. He is the worst kind of con artist, preying on the elderly, desperate, and gullible. Peter Popoff needs to be exposed once more.
You are damn right! Every time i talk about this scumbag people just say, "well what are ya gonna do". I have been crying out for action on this F*@#stick for years.
