Online content creator Ashley Massengill has been accused of scamming clients through her online course, the Digital Course Recipe.
Several of Massengill’s clients have allegedly been coming forward and claiming the woman is a bonafide scammer. One TikTok user who goes by the handle @ess_ess_ache is dedicated to “exposing” her.
“[Massengill] scams people out of $1,000, sometimes $2,000 to be able to fund this lifestyle that she’s flaunting all over the internet,” @ess_ess_ache, whose real name is reportedly Sherell Hodge, alleged in a viral video. The video has racked up over 2.3 million views since it was uploaded.

Massengill created the Digital Course Recipe in 2021 after launching her AM/PM Credit Repair four years prior, Black Enterprise reported. She found the company after realizing how much her federal salary increased by assisting those who needed help reaching their goals. She quit her post office job to teach people how to start their own online credit repair companies.
“$1,039,943 in 40 MINUTES LESS THAN AN HOUR!!! Mama, I made it! Somebody call up Forbes lol TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!,” she wrote in a Facebook post at the time.
Her story is one of triumph, as she overcame obstacles such as eviction and car repossession. However, some are calling her success one that was built on swindling customers. Hodge drove this point home further in more TikTok videos, saying Massengill “blocked people for the smallest reasons” and “[deleted] honest reviews” to make her business look perfect.
The entrepreneur’s course also reportedly has reviews claiming she’s “robbing people” of their “hard-earned money” for presenting “google slides” throughout the course.
“Out of everyone that’s taken her course, the only ones that we see, are ‘good’ reviews,” Hodge said in her part two video. “The only receipts we see are good receipts of people that have allegedly taken her course and made x amount of dollars whether it be in 10 minutes or 10 weeks.”

There’s even a private 11,000-member Facebook group about Massengill and her husband that users named “The truth about Ashley and Joshua Grayson.”
