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.

Radio One Event Charitable Event Goes Awry: Woman is pissed (vid)

I’m going to have to take the side of Radio One on this one. They did an event to promote toys and gifts for underprivileged children in the Atlanta area for Christmas. Turns out, there were limited or no toys for smaller children, this mother goes ballistic. What’s wrong with this picture? First of all, the world does not owe her sh…, was there a guarantee the station would provide toys for HER children? The way showed out in this video probably will cause her children psychological issues. She not only humiliated herself, humiliated them too. Should actually be this mad at a station for not giving HER kids toys for Christmas? Perhaps should be on their father’s doorstep with this performance.. Your thoughts?[ad#ad-300]
