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.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Talks About Why the Infidelity Charges Against Pastor John Gray are not Surprising (VIDEO)

Share

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show talked about why the infidelity charges against Pastor John Gray are not surprising. Gary With Da Tea said the popular pastor allegedly cheated on his wife, Aventer, once again.

Allegedly, there is a new interview with Tasha K., and the pastor has been caught having an affair with an adult entertainer. The pastor and the adult entertainer reportedly met on a website, said Gary.

Rickey Smiley said, “he went out there to pray for her and try to bring her closer to God, and then the devil took over and won.”

Smiley said he had gone to the strip club many times to save the dancers, and they overtook his body. Da Brat said the flesh is weak.

Gary asked, can a pastor have a sex addiction? The Morning Show said that it is possible. Da Brat said that the pastor is human too.

The national Baptist and C.O.G.I.C. conventions are when the hotels make the most money off of porn. This is when the sale of pornography goes up for the hotel, informed Smiley.

He added that the nice ladies in the church that no one would suspect are watching adult films back at the hotel room.

Gary said he thought the pastor and his wife were on good terms in their marriage.

“Didn’t he just not too long ago buy his wife a Lamborghini behind all of that madness that had just went down?” said Gary.

The Morning Show said that the pastor had already confessed to cheating on his wife. It was diartening to hear that it had happened again.

“The devil tempted Jesus when he went out for 30 days. Pastor John went out there for three days to Magic City to see if he was stronger than Jesus,” said Smiley.

Smiley said pastor John has to keep going back to the adult club until he is strong enough to overcome his temptation.
