Fake Father Mike Accounts

Accounts and AI videos using Father's name and image are springing up on media sites, and we have a few tips to keep in mind when you see these type of accounts.

Fr. Mike will NEVER:

• Direct message or chat through Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, etc.
• Direct message you asking for money, donations, or prayer requests
• Ask you to message him on a different platform
• Ask for personal information (phone number, address, social security number...)
• Request to be your friend via social media if he does not personally know you.

When you're online, ALWAYS:

• Stick to trusted, official channels like the Ascension Facebook Groups
• Only send money through official websites like AscensionPress.com or BulldogCatholic.org
• Avoid following a link someone you don't know sent you
• If you have questions, contact our friendly customer support team by emailing support@ascensionpress.com or calling us. We will help you.
• Trust your gut! If something seems fishy, it's probably a scam.

If you come across any suspicious accounts, or suspect the video or channel is using his image without his consent, please report and block them. Sending a link to the post, video or account also helps us act from our side as well. And let's also pray for the individuals behind these fake accounts, that they may turn to a path of honesty and truth.
