Scam Description
The scammer is a non-licensed nail tech, booking site says she’s in Largo. However, she’s changed her location today to say Baltimore. She asked me to drop off my wig in which I did, her page presents that she had a studio location. On the day of my appointment she attempts to move my time 3 hours after what I originally already paid for a week prior (my deposit was $15) due to an inconvenience with her car. I told her that wouldn’t work, she proceeds to say “I will cancel the appointment for you”. and tries to bargain with me about setting my time back which did not work for me. She then said she would come to my home, because she was a travel artist. Not only is she not licensed but there is no where on her page that states she’s a travel artist. She canceled my appointment and when I went to pick up my wig the same day she said she would send me my money back for the deposit since I never received services and SHE canceled my appointment (I have text messages). She never sent me my money back, I reached out to her 2 different months, it’s been 3 months now. She proceeds to ignore my texts and calls and declined my refund request via cashapp which is where I sent her the money. I also have screenshots and proof of text messaging between me and the scammer.
