Last night at around 8:26pm, I received an SMS message from Jhon (the victim in the Puey Quinones Fashion Scam) that read "Hi michael ... We got already the sum of 195,000 in cash and we returned the suit and the gown. But Puey did not show up. Only his mom and his cousin ... That's all ... Thanks ...".
Puey charged Jhon and his fiance 150,000 Php for the wedding gown and the suit (Dansen). When they realized that Puey could not deliver, they panicked and sought help from Francis Libiran for a new wedding gown and suit. With less than two weeks before the wedding, Francis charged them 195,000 Php for the rush job. As compensation, they demanded that Puey should shoulder the additional 45,000 Php for the damages he caused. Jhon went on saying:
"Money cannot and will never replace the burden and emotional damages that Puey gave to our lives. Yun lang ... Anyways, it's all done ... The good news for us now is we received what is due to us. And I'm happy now that we don't have to argue or deal with Puey anymore."
Thank you Jhon for entrusting your story to me. I did not know you prior to the Fashion Scam story and now I feel close to you. Thank you for inviting me to your wedding on March 5. I will be there.

Thank you Madelynne. You are making me blush!
ReplyDeleteAt least the designer did his part to give back the money and paid damages as well. I think it would be better if he was there during the returning of money, para sincere di ba?
ReplyDeleteI feel bad kasi may iba pa siyang bride clients na linoko at pinerahan lang niya...
Hello Mike... really nice to hear this < 3 i can imagine the stress jhon and his fiance go through the ordeal.. you're really a blessing to them and to all of us..
ReplyDeleteI love your blog ..
Thank you Nelly =)
ReplyDeletegood thing this happens this month of feb. What if its the peak season of dec and no designer can accomodate? scary scary designer!
ReplyDeleteGREAT JOB SIR MIKE!!!! JUSTICE IS SERVED! hehehe :)
ReplyDeletehow about the other victims... can they claim the damaged done by the designer? My friend returned the gowns and demanded a refund from the designer but ayaw magbigay...
ReplyDeletewow..ok yan.. so wala na sigurong mukhang maiharap itong pwe quinones na to kaya di na nag pakita sa na perwisyo nya..
ReplyDeleteDapat i-refund nya din kami!!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin's wedding last Nov. also encountered a few horror stories from PQ's services and my mom (who knows pattern-making and sewing) and aunts really wondered how he became "popular" among young soon-to-wed couples when in fact the quality of the output does not seem to reflect the price, and hype for this designer. Too bad for him.
ReplyDeletejustice was served + couple is now happily married = life is good
ReplyDeleteYay fashionpulis! Nakatulong talaga itong mga blogs sa mabilis na pag-usad ng kaso. :) Justice was served, and now the couple is happily married :) Life is good, keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteEy Mike, you are doing what most people want to do but dont have the guts too, due to their situation be that they may be involved in the fashion or television industry or what not. People who try to scam good people should be marked off and if they get caught they should shouldnt act all innocent and give excuses. cheers to you! and keep it subtle but informative ;)
ReplyDeletePuey Quinones wrecked my life. He stole my life savings, my businesses, my house, everything he said was a lie. Now I have no pension and am unable to pay for medical treatment. He is the most evil person on this earth.

ReplyDeleteI hope mr. Gregory gets the justice he deserve like the couple in this particular article.. nung nbsa q ung cAse ni mr. Gregory ginoogle q ung name ni PQ tpos eto ung isa sa mga nakita q link... :)
ReplyDeleteto PQ karma is a bitch...
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteTrashy design with matching poor quality execution then hyped by feeling authority na press, then tangang mga client na nagpapadala sa popularity ng designer na di muna icheck ang background, kaya ayan ang resulta! Scam ang pera nyo....
