Dana Chanel Gets Accused Of Scamming Black Women Out A lot Money Using Church Dustiness...SMH

Your favorite Bible-toting product placer is back in the news this week. Founder of Christian mobile app “Sprinkle of Jesus” and owner of hair and skincare brand The Curl Bible has now been sued by the office of Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro for allegedly scamming the same community she claims to empower, small Black business owners. There have been reports of shady business dealings with the Philadelphia-based Instagram influencer for years. The complaints mainly came from other Black Philly business owners who once sought out her services for marketing and credit repair, but claimed they never received the services they paid for. Has the influencer—whose real name is Casey Olivera—proven herself to be a scam artist? While she has built an online community of over 750,000 followers who are the main supporters of her brand and affiliated companies, has she managed to play us all under the guise of the “Millennial millionaire mentality?” “Dana Chanel built a following online by presenting herself as a Black woman-owned small business success story,” Shapiro stated. “She advertised the products of her companies as a way for other Black small business owners to achieve what she did. Then, she ripped off the same community she claimed to care about.” The ”Sprinkle of Jesus” app, which is mainly dedicated to providing daily devotional content to its subscribers and business consultancy to Christian entrepreneurs, was also used to market app-building services to others who desired to create a similar community for themselves. The parent company of the app, Alakazam Apps, LLC, which Chanel owns with her father, Nakia Rattay, was charged Friday in a lawsuit filed by the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.
