I think you may have misinterpreted what I was saying. I am fully aware that the poster that I quoted was the original OP from naturallycurly.com with the gorgeous fro. I was ellaborating on how Enso used her personal information to harass her. People are still giving this company the benefit of the doubt despite knowing the alleged pattern that MTM has had with starting and stopping businesses. I have no beef with the original Op of the Enso email scandal on NC.
The threads are still on BHM but are no doubt locked...or they may have taken them down after word came that the woman was killed. But it was a loooooong con like over several months and it was like a Ponzi Scheme. I would put it in the tens of thousands of dollars over the course of the scam. Her friends and/or the people who joined the "co-op" first or spent more money in the "Co-op" they got the nice hair, the late comers or the folks only buying a few ounces or the newbies to the boards those are the people who would get "dry monkey pubic hair" which is what folks literally called it lol This happened with every co-op order but the folks who got bad hair, they were drowned out by Groupthink and there were always more willing to take their place. It wasnt until the folks towards the tip of the pyramid started getting scammed that folks began researching the chick to find out where she lived, worked, or how to get their money back.
She took the profits from the scammed hair and the upcharge on the price to the co-op people to first start her own internet weave business. Then she opened up a weave shop...then a weave salon with tv commercials...then the luxury home and cars...next thing you know her husband kills her. It was a HAM. Bottom line she was able to do this all on the strength of her typing skills. Maybe a handful of folks on the boards had actually met her in person or knew her IRL. The majority (US and Foreign posters alike) didnt know here and sent her money. All because someone became popular on a messageboard and gave out "tips and tricks". And she seemed nice. A few bible phrases in her signature and some cute profile pics with her weave fried dyed and laid to the side...that's all it took.
DivaDee62 what was the scale of her scam operations? It's sad that she had to die like that![]()
, but karma(bad karma in particular) is truely a B&%*^
At This Point I Would Be Surprised If MTM Made Any Comment To Deny Or Confirm That She Owns This Company. She'll Resurface With A New Company And Gig. She'll Continue On Like Nothing Is Going On And Probably Already Has Another Company Lined Up And Registered.

We miss you a lot butwith all thatdrama that happened between your personal life andgetting trashed on thehair care forums, i understand ifyou nevercome back. I mean people are so ungrateful and quick to judge, you provided SOO much information free of charge including recipes, and thesame people trashhing youare still going to your blog checking your posts. They keep saying oh some people didn't get their money back. But who? its never the people who lost money who say this, that is because everyone was refunded. And concerning the who's the owner of Enso? Who the hell cares? If you say it's not you, then its not you but if it is you, it will not take away from the great information you've still provided on your blog, and will not change my opinion of you. I think you make great jewelry and I think people should stop using pseudo psychology to ''diagnose'' Nikole and look up the definiton of scammer, b/c it sure as heck ain't you.
Really?
YouTube Comment.
