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.

Actress, Victoria Rowell has taken a page out of spike lee‘s book. The acclaimed soap star has taken her campaign to Kickstarter to get her sitcom off the ground. It’s called, The Rich and the Ruthless. She currently has a goal of $50,000. She’s gotten almost $8000.00 at press time but what’s of more concern is how extremely over the top is in this video… She states “We’re gonna do it with or without you and we already have network interest…” is that a way to ask for money?The Rich and the Ruthless is a sit com that delves into the soapalicous swirl but oh, so real, gritty reality of the soap opera biz, The world is filled with Executives, and Actors all doing WHATEVER it takes to keep the show on air and maintaining the excessive lifestyle THEY ALL have grown accustom to.The show is centered around the iconic Soap Opera, The Rich and The Ruthless. The man behind the show is Augustus Barringer, He is as brilliant as he is cut throat which allowed him to build the show up from nothing to the Soap Opera empire it is today. He is surrounded by his twin children angling for money and power, and underling Executive angling for his own slice of power. But the real circus of the show involves the colorful cast of “actors” on the soap that may be more spoiled, more ruthless, and more calculating than the executives.
