'Prophet' Yakim Manasseh Jordan makes unsolicited robocalls; promises miracles for top dollar

While many people undoubtedly want miracles to happen in their lives, 25-year-old Yakim Manasseh Jordan promises to perform them -- at a hefty price. He is also quite enthusiastic in offering his services, making unsolicited robocalls to people.

"It is miserable," Tyrell Crosby, a sophomore at the University of Oregon, said as quoted by The Daily Beast. "I have no idea how they got [my number] but they've been calling for over a year."

The self-proclaimed prophet has reportedly been sued 16 times in three years -- four times this year alone -- since calling people without consent using pre-recorded robocalls violates the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

One of the lawsuits was filed on March 11 in New York Southern District. The complaint falls under the said Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991.

In 2014, a Twitter user posted, "Dear God, please strike "Prophet" (profit) Manasseh with lightning if he calls my phone one more time"; while another wrote, "Who is Prophet Manasseh, and how did he get my number, and if he's such a prophet... how doesn't he know I'm hanging up everytime he calls?"

The robocall message starts with Jordan introducing himself as Prophet Manasseh and then goes on to say that the Lord had spoken to him about the "major losses that you have experienced over the last two to five years." As he looked into the spirit, he says, he began to see a "miracle cloud" that has a "prosperity blessing, a financial blessing that you are about to receive." He also emphasizes on a loved one whose name's second syllable has a second letter that sounds something like "ah" or "a."

The almost 2-minute message promises the God wil release a "financial blessing in the next seven days" but he "must know how much money you are asking God to release. So write me back, and email me immediately."

According to The Daily Beast, Jordan claims to be able to heal the sick, predict the future, and even raise the dead for $1,000.
