Introduction

Scammers are targeting clients looking to get their hair braided by using real stylists’ work and creating fake social media pages.

Reports of Scams

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is receiving reports of scams targeting individuals wanting braids. Scammers take pictures from legitimate stylists and post them on fake social media pages.

Modus Operandi

Potential clients find the fake pages and book appointments, often making small deposits. Clients realize they have been scammed when they do not hear back from the supposed stylist on the appointment day.

Impact on Legitimate Businesses

Real stylists like Porsche Hensley, who has been braiding hair for over 10 years and owns Divine Innovation 615 in Nashville, are affected. Hensley reported instances where clients arrived for appointments, only to find out they were scammed.

Precautions to Avoid Scams

BBB advises not to pay for the service in full before the appointment. Visit the stylist’s location before booking. Verify the stylist’s work by searching for them online and including the word “scam” after their name. Ask for the stylist’s license number and verify it.

Continuing the Business

Despite the scams, stylists like Porsche Hensley remain undeterred and continue their work.

Conclusion

Scammers exploiting the popularity of hair braiding are causing issues for both clients and legitimate stylists. Clients are advised to take precautions to ensure they are booking authentic services.

Killer Mike is an incredible voice of reason that other members of his ilk probably can’t help but to wonder if his noteworthy messages often go over people’s heads . . . even while they clap.

In the black community, group think concepts often take precedent over opposing views whether we agree or not which is incredibly unfortunate. Here Killer Mike advises the audience to read and learn more about black history by referencing certain books and audio like Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams and Antonio Moore.

We often go along to get along not allowing opposing thought-provoking positions like that of Candace Owens to be heard. Killer Mike intervenes during a panel debate between her and T.I. at this past weekend’s REVOLT conference in Atlanta about Trump’s stance on making America great again. Killer Mike points out the more relevant issue is about when it comes to agendas and black camaraderie in order to impose agendas on elected officials over arguing about who has the best master.

While I was in Atlanta this weekend I missed the conference would have loved to have seen this. I have actually never met Diddy but commend him on his ventures like this one.
