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.

Televangelist Beaten by Her Husband

Prophetess Juanita Bynum and estranged husband Thomas Weeks III got into an altercation in a hotel parking lot this week in Atlanta. Weeks physically attacked Bynum and beat her to the point that a hotel doorman had to pull him off of her. Bynum was badly bruised and Weeks ran off like a bitch before the police got there. Bynum who has been teaching women empowerment and self esteem for the past decade nationwide married the minister a couple of years ago in a televised ceremony. What an incredible embarrassment for the both of them. This is a “man of God” ladies and gents… sorry for my interjection but I have a real issue with women beaters and rapists.
