There are too many to list, but one of the false prophets in the Old Testament is Balaam, who was a 'profit-for-hire' and would do anything for the money [see Numbers chapters 22-24]:

2Pe 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Jud 1:11 Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain, and gave themselves up to the error ofBalaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah.

Jud 1:11 CEV Now they are in for real trouble. They have followed Cain's example and have made the same mistake that Balaam did by caring only for money. They have also rebelled against God, just as Korah did. Because of all this, they will be destroyed.

However, Balaam wasn't the only one, and there both have been and will be many more:-

2Pe 2:1-3 KJV But there were false prophetsalso among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring indamnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (v.2) And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (v.3) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

A false prophet is one who does not have God's Holy Spirit and denies that Jesus is God in the flesh:-

1Jo 4:1-3 MKJV Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but try the spirits to see if they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (v.2) By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God; (v.3) and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God....
