While we have yet to receive a report, we will continue to caution members of the public when it comes to exchange of money to be careful as once its gone, it will be difficult to recover.

That is the message to the people of the country by the Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime Mesake Waqa as a number of people are raising concerns about the visiting co-founder of the Kingdom Embassy Church, Lily Java as a number of her videos and posters are being circulated of money to be paid for certain appointments and sessions.

People have also asked why she got almost a Head of State welcome at the Nadi International Airport.

Java is based in the United States of America and runs the church with her husband who is the Founder and President of Kingdom Embassy prophet Passion Java.

Lily Java is part of a Fiji Healing and Deliverance Conference for 2 days, starting today in Suva.

Snippets of videos are being circulated online of Java to be paid $1,500 for people to pay her to connect to her words while posts are being circulated for one on one sessions with Java based on her schedule. The post says the average waiting time is 1-2 weeks after the payment has been verified but it can fluctuate. It also says there are no refunds.

Police caution members of the public when it comes to exchange of money to be careful as once its gone, it will be difficult to recover.
