Peter Popoff (born July 2, 1946) is a German-born con man and televangelist.
He was exposed in 1986 for using an earpiece to receive radio messages from his wife, who gave him the names, addresses and ailments of audience members during Popoff-led religious services.
Popoff falsely claimed God revealed this information to him so that Popoff could cure them by faith healing.He went bankrupt the next year, but made a comeback in the late 1990s.
Beginning in the mid-2000s, Popoff bought TV time to promote "Miracle Spring Water" on late-night infomercials, and referred to himself as a prophet.
Business Insider remarked, "No matter how many times his claims are debunked, he seems to bounce back with another version of the same old scam."
