Accra, Dec. 20, GNA \u2013 The Reverend Dr Lawrence Tetteh, the President of the Worldwide Miracle Outreach, has called on the public to disregard advertisements and individuals using his name to promote medical products on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy attention has been drawn to some adverts and persons using my name to advertise medicine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is fake and not right; I have not endorsed any medication,\u201d Rev. Dr Tetteh said in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Accra.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Such irresponsible activities, he said, were tarnishing his hard-earned reputation, adding that, such persons must desist from the practice as he did not practice any form of medicine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rev. Dr Tetteh said as a preacher of the Gospel, he believed in the healing power of God, and had not endorsed and advertised any medical products.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said as much as he respected pharmacists and traditional medicine producers, he had no moral or legal rights to recommend or administer medicine to the public.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rev. Dr Tetteh, also an International Evangelist, cautioned the public to be vigilant of online fraudsters \u201cwho feign their identities and extort money from unsuspecting social media users\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not my ministry, disregard and report such persons.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a step in dealing with the development, he said, he had already made a report to the security agencies and the Cybersecurity Authority to monitor the activities of such persons who defrauded others and engaged in identity theft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He cautioned that: \u201cLet\u2019s be smart, not gullible. Don\u2019t allow yourselves to be used by such persons whose aim is to destroy other people\u2019s reputation built over the years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
