Whoaaa!! You should also raise your questions to the "friend" who suggested this bogus coordinator. She should be in prison for the money she stole. Grabe! You really flushed down your money just to make your wedding perfect, tapos ganun na lang? ISUMBONG TO SA NBI OR SA IMBESTIGADOR!
Natawa ako dun sa DON ROBERT Limo Service naalala ko si Leo Martinez pag-aari nun lahat eh! Nakuha pala yung baliwag character na yun sa ACOPIADO ESTATE na nagkeclaim kanila Buong pilipinas.
Shunga din iyong Lisette maka kuda lang... Wala sa hulog pinagsasabi.. Ginamit pa bata pweh.. Sana nagpaka tao iyong scammer at may anak naman pala siya eh
Wow, may nagtanggol pa dun sa karen, isipin daw ang anak.. eh sana si karen inisip din nia anak nia bago sia nag n. Tama lang yan na maipost ang scam nia sa online, para wala nang maloko.
Sa mga may balak magpakasal...kung kaya niyo ng walang coordinator, kayo na lang mag organize ng wedding niyo. Kami ng asawa ko ang nag asikaso ng lahat, so we were happy kasi we got what we wanted. Kung di posible yun, get a coordinator with a very good track record and make a background check. If you are overseas, ask a trusted family member to follow up lahat ng pinagggagawa ng coordinator. Always ask for the receipt, contract. Then contact yung suppliers niya to check if she really paid for the flowers, limo, souvenirs, etc. Madali lang yun kasi tatawag ka lang naman eh. Mas ok nang maging slightly praning kesa too trusting.
ako ay lubos na umuunawa sa "groom", at sa iyo na rin pero mas mauunawaan ng karamihan ang iyong salaysay kung gumamit ka na lang ng wikang Filipino. pwede rin mag-taglish. masakit lang talaga sa bangs ang English mo. sa paulit-ulit mong pagbanggit na "you want to make her happy", or "give her what she deserves", nagkabuhol- buhol na ang diwa ng kung anuman ang iyong gustong ipahatid. di lahat ng nasa -abroad, kailangang mag-english.
I feel the pain and the sincerity of the groom, sobrang nag tiwala sila.. Sakit kaya yun, pinaghirapan, nag ipon, para magpakasal ng maayos. fyi, not a single picture ng anak nung karen, para sbhin nung lizette, na may discrimination ngayayari? Pano madadamay ang bata? Sana hndi mangyari sa inyo ang ginawa nyo sa mag asawa.
ayan tayo e. gagawa ng kabalbalan tapos pag na bully sa internet sasabihin maawa sa anak. ang ending sila pa ang mukang victim sa nangyari. pwe! etong Lizette na to wala bang sintido kumon??
What a monster to do that to couples who wished to have a memorable wedding. I'm sure she did this to many others. Hope that legally something can be done and get that fraud in jail.
Mali eh. Normal naman na directly sa supplier ang bayad. At sana man lang, nagkaroon man lang ng "final meeting" with these suppliers prior to the big day. Hindi lahat-lahat, coordinator lang... Maaga pa sana, buking na...
Sa lahat ng ikakasal, please make sure you contact the supplier your coordinator is working with. Validate if transactions were made and research about their business as well. You can't trust a stranger with that much money. Couple's at fault as well. At least sana if you have relatives still living here, you could've asked for their help kahit sa pagvavalidate lang ng transactions sa coordinator supplier. I feel sorry for them. Please file a case para matanda na mga scammers.
The thing is the couple are based abroad. Well, they could have asked help from the bride's chosen maids. Originally naman dapat ang bridesmaids ang pinaka-involved sa wedding. So ano lang ginawa nung bridesmaids? Nagpasukat ng damit tapos nganga lang the entire wedding planning?
^if you read it again, the couple had a meeting with the supposed assistant of the flower supplier. They were even provided with a receipt complete with the letterhead / logo. Iisipin pa ba nila na na-scam sila? Kahit mag-final meeting pa sila, if ang pinaharap ni coordinator are "dummies", bale wala din
Ang rude mo. Based abroad sila kaya they decided to hire a coordinator. kahit sabihin na natin na pwede naman sya mabuking earlier kung mineet personally ng couple ang ang supplier, ang point dito, they trusted the person pero niloko sila.
Let's dont judge na lang yung couple kung sobra sobra ang trust nila sa tao kaya lahat sa coordinator pinadaan.
Hello???! Nasa abroad nga sila kaya nga wedding coordinator sya to take care of logistics. Sa dami ng ina -asikaso mahaharap pa bang makipag meeting left and right???
wag mo na silang i blame dahil they expected na si coordinator na lahat mag aasikaso nun to think she was referred by a friend. malay ba nila na scammer pala. they trusted her and blaming them for that is just rude. first time nila malamang ikasal and mag hire ng tao. malay ba nila na dapat ganyan ang gawin gaya ng sinasabe mo. wag ng mag magaling. di ka magaling.
Full wedding coordinator ang kinuha at binayaran niya kaya ganyan. Yung sa amin kasi on the day coordinator lang kaya yung last payment lang sa mga ibang suppliers ang binigay ko sa coordinator. Pero sana manlang nga he was able to communicate parin sa mga suppliers before the wedding.
Ateng, ofw ang mga kinasal. Baka wala na silang time na isa isahin ang mga supplier nung makauwi sila dito. Kaya ung mga ganito need talaga ang coordinator para kahit a day before the wedding sila umuwi plantsado na lahat. Madami ng naikasal ng ganyan, hndi pinayagan makapagleave ng matagal kaya ilang araw before wedding lang nakakauwi pero okay naman lahat. I guess talagang napamali sila ng pili sa pagkakatiwalaan.
eh based ang couple sa abroad....can't blame them for trusting the coordinator. wala silang pagkukulang or kasalanan. mali naman na yung nabiktima pa ang sisisihin mo instead of yung may kalokohan.
Usually kasi pag coordinator sila ba bahala sa lahat. Isang tao na lang kausap nila para no hassle on their part. Kaso lang naisahan sila ng con artist na to na mag******* at walang hiya! Masyadong nag tiwala. Dahil nga friend pa nila ang nag refer.
Wait lang.. You guys are saying based abroad ung couple at ung coordinator nasa abroad din at that time? Kase nga di ba nakipag meet sila PERSONALLY sa coordinator. Question is-- saan sila nakipagmeet, here sa pinas or abroad? Magulo. Kase kung dito sila nagmeet then may time ung couple to monitor what's the coordinator was doing.
Anon 6:40 basa din tayo pag may time ha. They met up LAST YEAR. Andun sa post oh. Most likely nagbakasyon saglit dito sa Pinas yung couple so yun nakipagmeet na sila sa coordinator - last year. Oki na?
hindi fair na iblame pa yung magasawa . kaya sila kumuha ng wedding coordinator at nag bayad ng pinaka mahal na package para wala na silang iintindihin . lagay mo yung sarili mo sa position nila . you're abroad . how are you supposed to oversee all the preparations ? true , may wedding entourage at pamilya ang bride and groom sa pilipinas , but the couple wanted everyone stress free . ayaw na nila makaabala . plus may tiwala na sila na okay na lahat eh . they were meeting with the coordinator days before the wedding . sino pa ba mag iisip na there is something wrong ..?
6:40 .. they went to the philippines to meet yung coordinator . time to monitor what the coordinator was doing ? kaya nga kumuha ng coordinator diba para siya na ang bahala sa lahat ???? what did you expect them to do , follow her around to make sure she does her job ? what's the point of spending money for the most expensive package of this coordinator kung ganun ang gagawin nila . it's easy to say these things because you're not in their situation . if this was happening to you , nakakasiguro ka ba na you would've acted any differently from the bride and groom ????
Oh my, i can feel the pain of the groom while reading this, i'm a wedding planner but i would never do this to any of my clients, i will never understand people who cheat others, bakit may ganon?
Hoy 1:17 Ang angas mo ah at ang dumi pa ng utak mo!!! Nag tanong lang ako kung ano mas tama binigyan mo na agad ng masamang kahulugan. Bruhang to nag hahanap ka pa yata ng away!
Korek dapat naging hands on sila. At next time ibackground check yang mga yan. Sayang ang kinita house and lot na rin sana yun. Kaya next time don't be too trusting. good luck po sa inyo. Kasuhan nyo po ng estafa tiyak kulong yan for life
Always confirm to every establishments kung totoong nagbayad inupahan nyong coordinator DAHIL PILIPINAS ITO. Realtalk lang. Andaming modus dito. Di mabilang.
Kaya nga kumuha ng full coordinator para all they have to do is approve. If they will meet the suppliers individually e di sana day coordinator na lang.
try mo po maging hands on sa event that is happening half way across the world. that's why they hired a wedding coordinator diba? not right to blame pa yung kinasal. they are the victims here.
May you get the justice you deserve. God bless your marriage. Mababawi nyo din yun for sure and I hope wala na mabiktima na ibang couple. Thank you for this warning.
I wonder why there were no updates months before the wedding. They could have verified directly from all the suppliers. And why did the wife's friend recommend that scammer in the first place? Did she not have any idea as to the real identity and legitimacy of the said scammer?
Questions go on and on. I wonder why other family members did not do anything to help in the follow up of all the suppliers.
A huge amount of money had been lost. It could have helped in building their future together though. Tsk! Hope they will find the scammer, so justice can finally prevail. Hope other couples who went through the same fake scheme from the scammer should share their horrible stories as well.
Mukhang full coordination ang kinuha nila. kya ndi n sila ng nakikipag-usap sa supplier kundi ung coordinator n lng. Pati pgbabayad, receipts and everything. Mgtataka siguro sila kung wlang resibo n binibigay and mg-iinquire sa mga supplier mismo, kaso meron silang nakukuha, fake nga lng. kya akala nila, all is well.
If you look at the FB page of Glamworks, mukhang ginagawa naman nila ang trabaho nila dati sa coordination dahil may mga testimonials and pics of prior events. Kaya siguro nagtiwala sila. Possible na first time sinubukan ni ateh na magscam. Hayan ang napala nya.
They trusted her fully kasi based sila abroad. Sometimes the point of getting a coordinator is to shift all the hassle to that person diba. Thats why you are paying the coordinator. Kahit hindi sila magdouble check, mali pa rin na ni n sila. And if you can check sa google, meron silang website and all so i dont think theres reason to doubt kung totoo ba siyang coordinator or not. So i guess kahit ano pang sabihin mo, mali pa rin.
Wedding is the once in a lifetime event of your life, very sacred union. That woman is truly heartless. Hard-earned money all gone. The excitement, anticipation and overwhelming emotions all gone to waste. May God bless you abundantly.
Sna mgfile cla or any of other victims ng formal case or else bk wlang mngyri but its also good na kumalat na to sa social media.e anu ngyri dun sa mga assistant nya na sumipot?d b cla sangkot don?at cnu ung wlang kwentang friend nila na ngrefer sa wedding coordinatr na to?
Grabe. Sa half a million lang magpapasira ka? Sa bawat google ng Karen Favis Carlos itong article na ito ang makikita? This couple will earn the money back, probably many times over, pero ikaw, you will never get your good name back again.
Grabe! Hindi na nga lang nakuha yung pera nila, kelangan pa nilang bayaran yung ibang services. Medyo naluha rin ako sa kwento ni groom coz it's heartbreaking talaga kahit kanino mangyari. Justice should be served.
Nakakagalit naman to! Siraulo yung Karen Favis Carlos! Walang konsensya. At yung Lisette Chu, isa pang bob*, baka raw matraumatize yung 3 yrs old na anak nung Karen, eh pano na lang kaya yung mga niloko niya? Hindi ba natraumatize yun?
Eh sana naisip nung karen ang anak nia bago nia niloko ung couple Kasi ganun naman talaga nangyari diba? hindi naman nagdeny ung karen, at ang proof nga nagbabayad ung couple pero di nakakarating sa suppliers ang payment
Nalokah naman ako dun sa nagtatanggol. Parang ang dami ding alam kung magsalita. Pareho silang walang brains. At nangaral pa sa ibang magshshare na mag-isip daw muna... Hmmm.. ang friend kaya nyang si Karen ay nag-isip din muna kung paanong ang scam na ito ay makakaapekto sa tatlong taong gulang na anak nya bago sha nagdecide na nakawin ang pera nitong inosenteng couple na ang gusto lang naman ay magkaron ng magandang wedding... Yung sinasabi nyang Lisette na yan na isipin yung 3 year old na anak na mattrauma, aba, hindi po ang netizens ang dapat na mag isip nyan. Yang lin**k na Karen na yan ang dapat nag-isip dahil kung walang scam na naganap, walang couple na magpopost nito, at wala ring ish-share ang mga netizens na katulad naming concerned lang naman at naghohope na wala ng iba pang medenggoy. Hay sana nagiisip ang Lisette na itey!
Pansin ko yan. It's as if she's trying to justify her friend's wrongdoings. Unang una, she ruined the couple's special day. Hindi mababayaran ang stress, kung sa kanya kaya ginawa yun, I'm sure her mindset will change. Pinagtatanggol pa kasi ang alam na mali e.
Grabe ito, talagang nagplano ang scammer ng matagal. And please lang ... yung IYAK palang nung couple sa wedding day nila, wlang katumbas yun. Ang kapal naman nung mukha even nung nagtatanggol, sha kaya ang ma-scam sa wedding day niya, ewan ko lang kung ganyan sha kakalma. Dapat ipadampot muna itong scammer bago mag settle para may police record. This is really very traumatic.
A friend got that Karen Carlos for her wedding and all her feedback are negative. Malabo kausap, d binubook yung ibang dapat i book, nag oover charge ng wala sa lugar... she juat went over board this time.
Please note that the original poser (calling himself 'the groom') is not really the groom but someone else na nakikiswsaw. Also many facts were left out sa story nya like how the family of the supposed scammer settled everything (paid all the bills) on the wedding day itself when the newly wed couple contacted them. The husband even had their car pawned to pay for all the bills.
Parang ikaw sawsawera ka din. Im sure ikaw si Karen! Kahit ano pa sabihin mo mali yung ginawa mo Karen! Kung may problema ka or malubhang sakit sana sinabihan mo yung couple, hindi yung gugulatin mo na lang at walang pasabi. Kung na tegi ka at nasa burol mauunawaan ka pa kaso buhay ka pa so dapat kahit man lang kinausap mo man lang yung mga taong nag tiwala at umaasa sa serbisyo mo at ipinasa mo na lang sa ibang coordinator kung di mo kayang gawin yung wedding nila.
Stop making paawa "the husband pawned his car...". It wouldn't have happened if you didnt steal their money. Never ever use other people's money for your own use lalo na if you never deserved it. May nagsasabi nga na may terminal illness sya, what is the point of that? Mamatay na sya tapos kumuha pa sya ng work that she cant do/delegate? And even forged receipts?
actually useless narin kahit bayaran pa nila kaht may interest pa. ano pang use nun?! e sinira na ung wedding. hnd na matutumbasan ng pero ung naranasan nila. sabe nga dun sa post ma eaearn nila ulit un. pero ung trauma wala andun na un. every time na iisipin mo ung kasal mo un lang maalala mo. kaht sinabe pa nya sa oficial statement nya na sa gabenh un kausap na nila ung couple ano pang sense e tapos na nga?! tigilan ang pag tatanggol. ang bottom line lang dito sinira nya ung special day dapat ng mag asawa.
Sana pakisagot san ba dinala ni karen ung pera ? Sabi sa status on the wedding.day hindi sya makontact. And pls iba ang "nabayaran lahat" at "kalahati bayad" kasi ung emcee nung kasal sabi sa status nya hindi sya bayad.
Supposed scammer?? Anong supposed dun? Sayo na rin nanggaling, dun lang nagbayad sa suppliers on the wedding day itself. Hindi pa nga yata un ung suppliers na gusto nung couple. At bakit kelangan pa magsanla ng kotse eh di naman nagkulang ung couple sa pagbabayad? Scammer talaga ung Karen, kahit anong paawa gawin nio
They did not exactly pay for everything on the same day. It was a Saturday. Karen's husband came by but couldn't get a hold of enough cash because banks were closed. He gave partial cash payment and post dated checks split into several payment terms. So far the checks are ok. I give props to the husband for taking responsibility even though he technically had nothing to do with it.
Dude when you get married, the husband and wife are ONE. Yung mali ng isa, yes, ay burden na din ng isa. It comes with the may-asawa territory. Even if he TECHNICALLY had nothing to do with it, it is his responsibility na din. And unless they are not in good terms or hiwalay sila, I am pretty sure that the wife will tell his husband if she is up to something as major as scamming an unknowing couple.
Lumabas na ang official statement. Partial payment lang. At kahit hindi groom mismo nag post, mukhang kapatid or related, hindi nakikisawsaw. Irrelevant kung anong kinailangang gawin ng husband para bayaran, dapat lang they will do everything.
At may malubhang sakit din daw si Karen. Anyho everything is settled financially, but yes the trauma and the sadness it has all caused can never be taken away lalo na sa mag asawa. But at least we know na hindi naman sila tinakbuhan nun coordinator. The bills had been settled out by them on the wedding day itself.
Ok ka lang??! Di mo ba nabasa na fake ang contract na pinakita sa kanila ni karen. Walang alam si Teddy Manuel sa contract na pinakita ni Karen sa bride and groom! Kapata patawad ba yung gumagawa ng pekeng resibo at kontrata?!!
Kung may malubha syang sakit, wag syang tumanggap ng trabaho. Simple lang naman yan eh. Ang pera ay hindi sa iyo kundi pinagkatiwala lang. The fact still remains may sakit o wala manloloko pa rin sya.
"Malubhang sakit" has nothing to do with this. Huwag padala sa paawa.
Kahit ano pang sakit meron sya, it does not give her the right to falsify receipts and documents MONTHS before the wedding. Hindi ito biglaang isyu lang na tipong masama ang pakiramdam nya nung araw ng kasal kaya di sya nakapunta. Deliberate criminal act ang mameke ang kontrata at resibo at pirma. Ika nga nung isang comment na nakita ko, malicious intent ito at hindi lang negligence.
Can she be sued for forgery as well by the suppliers? They're well known in the industry after all..sorry im too affected coz i was an overseas bride & i cant imagine how painful it was for the couple to have their dream wedding destroyed by a wicked witch.
de**nyo ang taong to.. ndi lang pera ang ni***** nya kundi pati ang masaya sanang memory na babalik balikan ng mag asawa..dapat jan sunugin...at ang lakas nmn ng taong tong mag tanggol eh wala rin nmn xang alm..kalokaaa
wala ka palang karapatan magsalita sa pera and about the event eh di tumahimik ka nalang. Pinagtatangol mo M. She cannot hide behind having a child to avoid prosecution. She should have thought of that before she hoodwinked these people on what was supposed to be the best event of their lives.
Ang pinag tataka ko lang dun sa isang part ng story ni groom eh yung sa catering. Diba ang suppliers bago matuloy ang services nila you need to give a downpayment so paano natuloy at nagka food sa venue kung di sila bayad at sabi ni groom puro fake lang ang receipts so paano pumayag si caterer kung walang money involve kasi di pwede yan sa wedding supliers.
Oo nga. Ang alam ko ha, based sa experience namin sa events (e.g. Josiah's which is accredited ng Fernwood and Fernbrook), dapat 100% paid na (or fully paid in other words) ang caterer days before the event. Sigurista ang karamihan sa suppliers lalo caterers.
It's not possible if individual ang lumapit at nakipagkontrata. Pero if ung Glamworks eh "partner" ng suppliers, they might have terms and agreements of their own. It works in other industries as well.
apparently, may down naman sila kay caterer but ang alam nila groom fully paid na 2mos before the wedding. since si coordinator matagal na sa industry, may mga caterer naman na pde on the day na isettle ung balance. when you read sa wedding groups in FB andun ung name ng caterer,
Bilib dinnako sa tagapag-tanggol ng scammer na to no. Jina-justify pa ata nito ang oang loloko ng friend nya. So yung friend nya pa ang api, ganun? Kawawa naman ang anak, ganun? E d sana naisip nya yan bago nya nya pineke lahat ng resibo ng suppliers! Ka-bo** naman nyan. Sorry sa scammer friend mo ha? Naapi tuloy sya ngayon.
nakakatawa yun lisette sa pagtatanggol. wala daw syang karapatang magsalita about sa nangyari pero shes representing the family of karen! alam ba nya sinasabi nya? take a look at the situation objectively. the couple paid the whole amount kung magkano ang sinabi ng coordinator so this karen should deliver kung anuman ang napagusapan. if not, its a breach of contract. second, the mere fact that this karen produced a FAKE receipts, its unacceptable! ang tawag dun falsification of public documents. just in case this karen and this lisette didnt know. no justifications and reasons on whatever they did. if their excuse is the coordinator got sick, pass it on to ur assistants. a contract is a contract. she just want to have symphaty. oo, gusto mong intindihin kaso legally speaking, hindi sya katanggap tanggap.
Siguro dapat sa wedding. never trust anyone with your hard earned money. pag may bills na need bayaran, magissue ng check dun lang nakapangalan sa babayaran mo ng bills para hindi magamit ng iba ung pondo or ikaw mismo ang pumunta sa mga babayaran like ung catering, hotel, etc para sure na tama ung resibo. Ung coordinator na lang siguro bahala sa mga ayos ayos ng lugar, ung sa staff. pero ung magpapakasal dapat ang personally magbayad.
How about the bride's friend who introduced this Karen Scammer to the couple? Di nya ba alam na scammer sya? And to the spokeperson of the scammer if u think na agrabyado kayo eh di idemanda nyo kung sino man ang nagpost sa FB at tingnan natin kung sinong peke at scammer buti nga para lalong maexpose yang scammer na yan. Grabe sya ah! Wlang tinupad sa pinagusapan, kinuha ang pera at di nagpakita, so tagapagtanggol anong tawag mo dyan? Victim or scammer? Tigil tigil sa katatanggol sa mga scammer. Pero bilib ako sa groom at very calm pa rin sya in the midst of crisis.
Mahihirapan na silang magdemanda kasi nga wala na silang pera. Hanggang nagyon nga eh hinahabol pa sila ng catering company kasi di pa sila nakapagbayad.
Before you say na sana nag-isip muna ang nagpost and nagshare ng complaint ng couple, sana sinabihan mo yung friend mo na sana nag-isip rin muna na makaka-apekto sa pamilya nya esp sa anak nya ang mga masasamang gawain sa ibang tao.
she faked the receipts, forged signatures... may explanation pa ba dun???! and oh please, leave the 3 year old out of this scam. sana inisip nya yun bago sya mamemeke. Pinagtatanggol mo pa??? surely nakinabang ka. Wedding is a momentous event tapos ginanun nya?? tapos mag sosorry and then move on na? its right that other engaged couples are warned. her business be damned! wedding coordination is based on trust. weed out the bad apples!
Paying for the suppliers will not absolve her from being tagged as a scammer. Faking receipts, providing services/suppliers different from what was agreed upon, not showing up to do the coordination from the start of the preparation is scamming as well. She might be a legit wedding coordinator, but what she did to the couple turned her into a questionable one.
Most of the people who forward, share and comment on this do not wish her harm personally but rather to warn other couples of her history. It is still up to them if they would take the risk.
I'm not defending the wedding coordinator but something was not right sa story. Half a million peso is not enough to have a Fernbrook wedding + exclusive package and all the other services that they claim to have booked. Sa full planning and coordinator pa lang, hindi ba bumababa ng 50k.
Sa dami ng nangloloko ngayon, minsan pati sa mismong church, nag iisip ka na baka nakawin pa gamit mo. Yung sister ko din, lahat na lang pinagdududahan nya. Minsan kasi wife ng Pastor sa church namin niloko pa brother namin. Tapos makakabasa ka ng ganitong pangloloko sa wedding. Saan ka na lang pupunta? Take care na lang always. Ask God to give us guidance. Mahirap na.
I'm sure this Lisette is just being a friend. Pero syempre sa mga kinasal, they've lost more than their money. They've lost something they can't bring back. More than the suppliers' bills, dapat bayaran nila ng emotional damages ang couple na ito.
Maybe this Karen was really good at her job. Kaya may mega tanggol sa kanya. Yun nga lang syempre it doesn't change the fact na this time, niloko nya ung mag-asawa. Siguro naging "mapalad" lang itong couple na ito because they are overseas at mas madaling imanipulate yung funds na narereceive niya from them. well, the damage has been done. Mas mabuting payuhan na lang ng Lisette na ito si Karen, instead na yung mga bumabatikos sa kanya. Mas nakakagigil lang sya sa pinagsasabi nya.
In any case, when you get services from anybody using 3rd party providers/suppliers, we all should have the initiative to contact the 3rd party right before and after making settlements. Parang sa mga online shops, when they offer services, products (or accomodations). Contact these businesses to make sure they have these adverts online using this person/company/website. I do these all the time, with hotel/resort accommodations and spa services, i ask them if the online advert is legit. And always get the name of the contact person. Sometimes I have to try verifying a couple more times lalo na pag medyo pricey yung service. I'm pretty sure most of us knows alot about possible scams and how to be safe, pero ewan ko ba, totoo yatang matatamis ang dila ng mga to (or totoo kaya ung nahi hypnotize?) kaya naseset aside na yung pagiging vigilant dapat natin. Just my unsolicited opinion.
I hope this company will be banned from wedding exhibits or websites. I was an overseas bride tho iv chosen to coordinate w/ suppliers directly. But we do rely on recommendations, review of friends. Thats y it hits home when i saw this. How dare her use her daughter as an excuse? Its so pathetic! And her 'friend' Lisette, ur not being a friend by siding her, friends shldnt condone a behaviour like this! Its hard earned money of the couple & she used it for easy money! She made her own hell...
At ikaw naman Lisette, matanong lang kita ha.. Kinasal ka na ba..? Ipagpanggap na lang natin na ganon nga, at ganito ang nangyari sa 'yo.. So ang tanong, anong mararamdaman mo iha..?
hihintayin ko ang sagot mo, at siguraduhin mong makatotohanan lang lahat ng sasabihin mo Ineng..
malinaw na pinlano nya ang pag scam sa kanila because she falsified documents, receipts and forged signatures. Dapat dyan kinakasuhan at nakukulong ng hindi umulit at pamarisan
A 3yr old kid naaffect? My God can a 3yr old kid read already? Go to fb and read d news feed and comments and actually understand?? We are not stupid wag gamitin ang walang muwang na bata as an excuse to say affected a 3yr old kid. naman!!! If nagschool d 3yr old kid as nursery can her 3-4yr old classmates bully her coz they also "read the fb post" a 3-4 yr old kid Ha. I have a 3yr old and he watches tv surfs d net but My God he doesn't understand d news feed 100% unless u explain. Hay. This scammer should just own up to her mistakes and not beg for peoples sympathy just coz her 3yr old is affected. Naman naman. Sya kamo and her adult family and relatives are affected for the shame she herself brought upon them
Dapat lang na gawing bad example itong scammer na Ito para people will be aware that these things are real and can happen to them if they are not careful
If that thing happen to me, I will contact the NBI to arrest her! Ang mga ganitong klaseng panloloko sa kapwa ay hindi dapat hinahayaan makawala! The groom is right...money can be earned but that wedding moment cannot be replaced!
Ms. Karen alam mo nmn cguro king gano kahalaga sa isa babae ang dream wedding dahil babae ka rin...kinuha ka nila dahil alam nila professional ka... Alam mo ba kung gano din kahirap ang magtiwala sa isa tao na kakakilala mo lang? At ngayon alam mo rin cguro kung panu kumuha ng tiwala ng di mo kakilala... Pero pinag katiwalaan ka nila at the first place and also hindi ka lng ngayon naghandle ng wedding kaya bawat details alam mo na unless kung bawat wedding gnyan gingawa mo... At ahead of time yung mga dapat mo isettle na payment na settle mo n nagawa mo na
Chura nung lisette chu! Na try mo na ba nakwan ng pera teh?? Baka nga mahablutan ka lang ng bag or cellphone mag dadakdak kna diyan! I hope they make this scammer pay triple so they get the wedding they deserve and somehow ease the trauma caused by this heartless ughhh nevermind.
Kaya pinag tatanggol nung lisette chu kasi kamag anak daw sya. Sabi nya dun sa isang comment sa fb. "Eh kayo kung kamag anak nyo ginaganito". Sabi ni chu! Chura mo, baka kaya may kick back ka kasi no? Di ba isa ka dun sa mga nagtatrabaho kay karen? For sure may kick back ka te!
Karen favis carlos. Kung di ka talaga guilty sa ginawa mo bakit di ka na lang kasi nagpakita bago ang araw ng kasal at inamin mo ang ginawa mong panloloko sa mag asawa. Baka naman nag karoon pa ng chance na nagawan ng paraan at naayos pa bago pa man din magka da lintek lintek. Ayan tuloy.
:) As far as I know, there are no accredited coordinators as of this moment sa Fernbrook Gardens. They should accredit some trusted coordinators from good companies to avoid such scams.
dyusko, sunugin nya mukha ng babae pag nakita nya..file a case
ReplyDeleteOmg, kawawa naman ung couple.. tama un na pwede pa kitain ulit ung pera, pero ung event... haaay
DeleteWhoaaa!! You should also raise your questions to the "friend" who suggested this bogus coordinator. She should be in prison for the money she stole. Grabe! You really flushed down your money just to make your wedding perfect, tapos ganun na lang? ISUMBONG TO SA NBI OR SA IMBESTIGADOR!

DeleteFile a case. That is the only way for you to get justice in this case. Tama na ang Just Tiis... Justice agad!
DeleteSa mga may balak magpakasal...kung kaya niyo ng walang coordinator, kayo na lang mag organize ng wedding niyo. Kami ng asawa ko ang nag asikaso ng lahat, so we were happy kasi we got what we wanted. Kung di posible yun, get a coordinator with a very good track record and make a background check. If you are overseas, ask a trusted family member to follow up lahat ng pinagggagawa ng coordinator. Always ask for the receipt, contract. Then contact yung suppliers niya to check if she really paid for the flowers, limo, souvenirs, etc. Madali lang yun kasi tatawag ka lang naman eh. Mas ok nang maging slightly praning kesa too trusting.

babaeng aso
I feel the pain and the sincerity of the groom, sobrang nag tiwala sila.. Sakit kaya yun, pinaghirapan, nag ipon, para magpakasal ng maayos. fyi, not a single picture ng anak nung karen, para sbhin nung lizette, na may discrimination ngayayari? Pano madadamay ang bata? Sana hndi mangyari sa inyo ang ginawa nyo sa mag asawa.
Deleteayan tayo e. gagawa ng kabalbalan tapos pag na bully sa internet sasabihin maawa sa anak. ang ending sila pa ang mukang victim sa nangyari. pwe! etong Lizette na to wala bang sintido kumon??
DeleteGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
ReplyDeleteGrabe naman. Sinira nya ang reputation nya para sa one time kita. Tapos mahihirapan na sya makakuha ng client. Di po ba gumagana ang brain cells ate?
ReplyDeleteWhat a monster to do that to couples who wished to have a memorable wedding. I'm sure she did this to many others. Hope that legally something can be done and get that fraud in jail.
ReplyDeleteNapaka heartless naman nyan. Ang sakit!
ReplyDeleteIdemanda na yan... Napaka walanghiya nyang babae.
ReplyDeleteso tragic! ito ung mga okasyon na sobra importante... kapag gnyan pla dpat 2weeks before verified and confirmed directly sa supplier...
ReplyDeleteSociopath ang pu**. Makarma sana sya. I feel sorry for you; that should have been one of the happiest moments in your life.
ReplyDeleteMali eh. Normal naman na directly sa supplier ang bayad. At sana man lang, nagkaroon man lang ng "final meeting" with these suppliers prior to the big day. Hindi lahat-lahat, coordinator lang... Maaga pa sana, buking na...
ReplyDeleteSa lahat ng ikakasal, please make sure you contact the supplier your coordinator is working with. Validate if transactions were made and research about their business as well. You can't trust a stranger with that much money. Couple's at fault as well. At least sana if you have relatives still living here, you could've asked for their help kahit sa pagvavalidate lang ng transactions sa coordinator supplier. I feel sorry for them. Please file a case para matanda na mga scammers.
DeleteThe thing is the couple are based abroad. Well, they could have asked help from the bride's chosen maids. Originally naman dapat ang bridesmaids ang pinaka-involved sa wedding. So ano lang ginawa nung bridesmaids? Nagpasukat ng damit tapos nganga lang the entire wedding planning?
Delete^if you read it again, the couple had a meeting with the supposed assistant of the flower supplier. They were even provided with a receipt complete with the letterhead / logo. Iisipin pa ba nila na na-scam sila? Kahit mag-final meeting pa sila, if ang pinaharap ni coordinator are "dummies", bale wala din
DeleteAng rude mo. Based abroad sila kaya they decided to hire a coordinator. kahit sabihin na natin na pwede naman sya mabuking earlier kung mineet personally ng couple ang ang supplier, ang point dito, they trusted the person pero niloko sila.
DeleteLet's dont judge na lang yung couple kung sobra sobra ang trust nila sa tao kaya lahat sa coordinator pinadaan.
Hello???! Nasa abroad nga sila kaya nga wedding coordinator sya to take care of logistics. Sa dami ng ina -asikaso mahaharap pa bang makipag meeting left and right???
Deletewag mo na silang i blame dahil they expected na si coordinator na lahat mag aasikaso nun to think she was referred by a friend. malay ba nila na scammer pala. they trusted her and blaming them for that is just rude. first time nila malamang ikasal and mag hire ng tao. malay ba nila na dapat ganyan ang gawin gaya ng sinasabe mo. wag ng mag magaling. di ka magaling.
DeleteFull wedding coordinator ang kinuha at binayaran niya kaya ganyan. Yung sa amin kasi on the day coordinator lang kaya yung last payment lang sa mga ibang suppliers ang binigay ko sa coordinator. Pero sana manlang nga he was able to communicate parin sa mga suppliers before the wedding.
Deleted kab maronong mag basa??? abroad nga ang couple d bah.
DeleteMasyado kang magaling. Kaya nga may coordinator e. May masabi ka lang, Nabasa mo ba mabuti?
DeleteThey work abroad what do you expect
DeleteAteng, ofw ang mga kinasal. Baka wala na silang time na isa isahin ang mga supplier nung makauwi sila dito. Kaya ung mga ganito need talaga ang coordinator para kahit a day before the wedding sila umuwi plantsado na lahat. Madami ng naikasal ng ganyan, hndi pinayagan makapagleave ng matagal kaya ilang araw before wedding lang nakakauwi pero okay naman lahat. I guess talagang napamali sila ng pili sa pagkakatiwalaan.
Deleteeh based ang couple sa abroad....can't blame them for trusting the coordinator. wala silang pagkukulang or kasalanan. mali naman na yung nabiktima pa ang sisisihin mo instead of yung may kalokohan.
DeleteUsually kasi pag coordinator sila ba bahala sa lahat. Isang tao na lang kausap nila para no hassle on their part. Kaso lang naisahan sila ng con artist na to na mag******* at walang hiya! Masyadong nag tiwala. Dahil nga friend pa nila ang nag refer.
Delete10:38 masyado kang shunga kaya ka naloloko ganoon??? Galit ka sa mundo wag dito mo ilabas. May point si 7:55
DeleteWait lang.. You guys are saying based abroad ung couple at ung coordinator nasa abroad din at that time? Kase nga di ba nakipag meet sila PERSONALLY sa coordinator. Question is-- saan sila nakipagmeet, here sa pinas or abroad? Magulo. Kase kung dito sila nagmeet then may time ung couple to monitor what's the coordinator was doing.
DeleteAng hirap dito satin, yung mga biktima pa yung sinisisi na mali.
DeleteNagtiwala po sila, may mg tao parin namAn na talagang likas sa knla magtiwala. Pero dahil sa trauma na to, im sure hndi na mangyayari toh.
DeleteAnon 6:40 basa din tayo pag may time ha. They met up LAST YEAR. Andun sa post oh. Most likely nagbakasyon saglit dito sa Pinas yung couple so yun nakipagmeet na sila sa coordinator - last year. Oki na?
Deletehindi fair na iblame pa yung magasawa . kaya sila kumuha ng wedding coordinator at nag bayad ng pinaka mahal na package para wala na silang iintindihin . lagay mo yung sarili mo sa position nila . you're abroad . how are you supposed to oversee all the preparations ? true , may wedding entourage at pamilya ang bride and groom sa pilipinas , but the couple wanted everyone stress free . ayaw na nila makaabala . plus may tiwala na sila na okay na lahat eh . they were meeting with the coordinator days before the wedding . sino pa ba mag iisip na there is something wrong ..?
Delete6:40 .. they went to the philippines to meet yung coordinator . time to monitor what the coordinator was doing ? kaya nga kumuha ng coordinator diba para siya na ang bahala sa lahat ???? what did you expect them to do , follow her around to make sure she does her job ? what's the point of spending money for the most expensive package of this coordinator kung ganun ang gagawin nila . it's easy to say these things because you're not in their situation . if this was happening to you , nakakasiguro ka ba na you would've acted any differently from the bride and groom ????
Oh my, i can feel the pain of the groom while reading this, i'm a wedding planner but i would never do this to any of my clients, i will never understand people who cheat others, bakit may ganon?
ReplyDeleteAno ba mas tama pakinggan? I could never understand people who cheat or i will never understand people who cheat?
DeleteParehas tama.
Delete2:44 wala sa linya ng usapan ung banat mo. gusto mo mambara lang, sali ka sa mga nagdedebate sa luneta. bastos ka.
Deletecould
Delete2:44 I will never understand
DeleteHoy 1:17 Ang angas mo ah at ang dumi pa ng utak mo!!! Nag tanong lang ako kung ano mas tama binigyan mo na agad ng masamang kahulugan. Bruhang to nag hahanap ka pa yata ng away!
DeleteProfessional Scammer! Sana mahanap to at ilunod sa kumukulong mantika! Walang puso!
ReplyDeleteKorek dapat naging hands on sila. At next time ibackground check yang mga yan. Sayang ang kinita house and lot na rin sana yun. Kaya next time don't be too trusting. good luck po sa inyo. Kasuhan nyo po ng estafa tiyak kulong yan for life
ReplyDeleteOfw ang couple kaya nga sila kumuha ng coordinator Para hassle-free sana.
DeleteAlways confirm to every establishments kung totoong nagbayad inupahan nyong coordinator DAHIL PILIPINAS ITO. Realtalk lang. Andaming modus dito. Di mabilang.
Deletenasa abroad kasi sila
DeleteKaya nga kumuha ng full coordinator para all they have to do is approve. If they will meet the suppliers individually e di sana day coordinator na lang.
Deletetry mo po maging hands on sa event that is happening half way across the world. that's why they hired a wedding coordinator diba? not right to blame pa yung kinasal. they are the victims here.
DeleteMay you get the justice you deserve. God bless your marriage. Mababawi nyo din yun for sure and I hope wala na mabiktima na ibang couple. Thank you for this warning.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely heartless.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why there were no updates months before the wedding. They could have verified directly from all the suppliers. And why did the wife's friend recommend that scammer in the first place? Did she not have any idea as to the real identity and legitimacy of the said scammer?
ReplyDeleteQuestions go on and on. I wonder why other family members did not do anything to help in the follow up of all the suppliers.
A huge amount of money had been lost. It could have helped in building their future together though. Tsk! Hope they will find the scammer, so justice can finally prevail. Hope other couples who went through the same fake scheme from the scammer should share their horrible stories as well.
Mukhang full coordination ang kinuha nila. kya ndi n sila ng nakikipag-usap sa supplier kundi ung coordinator n lng. Pati pgbabayad, receipts and everything. Mgtataka siguro sila kung wlang resibo n binibigay and mg-iinquire sa mga supplier mismo, kaso meron silang nakukuha, fake nga lng. kya akala nila, all is well.
DeleteIf you look at the FB page of Glamworks, mukhang ginagawa naman nila ang trabaho nila dati sa coordination dahil may mga testimonials and pics of prior events. Kaya siguro nagtiwala sila. Possible na first time sinubukan ni ateh na magscam. Hayan ang napala nya.
DeleteThey trusted her fully kasi based sila abroad. Sometimes the point of getting a coordinator is to shift all the hassle to that person diba. Thats why you are paying the coordinator. Kahit hindi sila magdouble check, mali pa rin na ni n sila. And if you can check sa google, meron silang website and all so i dont think theres reason to doubt kung totoo ba siyang coordinator or not. So i guess kahit ano pang sabihin mo, mali pa rin.
DeleteWedding is the once in a lifetime event of your life, very sacred union. That woman is truly heartless. Hard-earned money all gone. The excitement, anticipation and overwhelming emotions all gone to waste. May God bless you abundantly.
ReplyDeleteIf only I was filthy rich, I would pay for this couples' wedding. BIbigyan ko sila ng 2nd wedding they deserved. hayyss I truly feel for them.
ReplyDeleteSna mgfile cla or any of other victims ng formal case or else bk wlang mngyri but its also good na kumalat na to sa social media.e anu ngyri dun sa mga assistant nya na sumipot?d b cla sangkot don?at cnu ung wlang kwentang friend nila na ngrefer sa wedding coordinatr na to?
ReplyDeleteThanks FP for posting! I believe your blog is one of the most read kaya sisikat sya talaga!!
ReplyDelete-avid na mahadera
Oh my God this is so heart breaking!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nightmare talaga! Aunugin ng buhay yan
ReplyDeletebaka nagpalit na yan ng mukha sa laki ng nadenggoy nya karma with this b*tch ang kapal sana tunawin na ni Lord lahat ng manloloko
ReplyDeleteGrabe. Sa half a million lang magpapasira ka? Sa bawat google ng Karen Favis Carlos itong article na ito ang makikita? This couple will earn the money back, probably many times over, pero ikaw, you will never get your good name back again.
ReplyDeleteGrabe! Hindi na nga lang nakuha yung pera nila, kelangan pa nilang bayaran yung ibang services. Medyo naluha rin ako sa kwento ni groom coz it's heartbreaking talaga kahit kanino mangyari. Justice should be served.
ReplyDeleteOmg. She is the wife of my former officemate, planning to get her on our wedding pa naman.. Shocks!
ReplyDelete...for our wedding...
DeleteNakakagalit naman to! Siraulo yung Karen Favis Carlos! Walang konsensya. At yung Lisette Chu, isa pang bob*, baka raw matraumatize yung 3 yrs old na anak nung Karen, eh pano na lang kaya yung mga niloko niya? Hindi ba natraumatize yun?
ReplyDeleteEh sana naisip nung karen ang anak nia bago nia niloko ung couple
DeleteKasi ganun naman talaga nangyari diba? hindi naman nagdeny ung karen, at ang proof nga nagbabayad ung couple pero di nakakarating sa suppliers ang payment
Nalokah naman ako dun sa nagtatanggol. Parang ang dami ding alam kung magsalita. Pareho silang walang brains. At nangaral pa sa ibang magshshare na mag-isip daw muna... Hmmm.. ang friend kaya nyang si Karen ay nag-isip din muna kung paanong ang scam na ito ay makakaapekto sa tatlong taong gulang na anak nya bago sha nagdecide na nakawin ang pera nitong inosenteng couple na ang gusto lang naman ay magkaron ng magandang wedding... Yung sinasabi nyang Lisette na yan na isipin yung 3 year old na anak na mattrauma, aba, hindi po ang netizens ang dapat na mag isip nyan. Yang lin**k na Karen na yan ang dapat nag-isip dahil kung walang scam na naganap, walang couple na magpopost nito, at wala ring ish-share ang mga netizens na katulad naming concerned lang naman at naghohope na wala ng iba pang medenggoy. Hay sana nagiisip ang Lisette na itey!
ReplyDeletePansin ko yan. It's as if she's trying to justify her friend's wrongdoings. Unang una, she ruined the couple's special day. Hindi mababayaran ang stress, kung sa kanya kaya ginawa yun, I'm sure her mindset will change. Pinagtatanggol pa kasi ang alam na mali e.
DeleteGrabe ito, talagang nagplano ang scammer ng matagal. And please lang ... yung IYAK palang nung couple sa wedding day nila, wlang katumbas yun. Ang kapal naman nung mukha even nung nagtatanggol, sha kaya ang ma-scam sa wedding day niya, ewan ko lang kung ganyan sha kakalma. Dapat ipadampot muna itong scammer bago mag settle para may police record. This is really very traumatic.
ReplyDeleteOMG..so heartbreaking..feel na feel ko yung pain sa story..feeling ko di naman siya gawa gawa kasi detailed naman..:'(
ReplyDeleteA friend got that Karen Carlos for her wedding and all her feedback are negative. Malabo kausap, d binubook yung ibang dapat i book, nag oover charge ng wala sa lugar... she juat went over board this time.
ReplyDeletePlease note that the original poser (calling himself 'the groom') is not really the groom but someone else na nakikiswsaw.
ReplyDeleteAlso many facts were left out sa story nya like how the family of the supposed scammer settled everything (paid all the bills) on the wedding day itself when the newly wed couple contacted them. The husband even had their car pawned to pay for all the bills.
Parang ikaw sawsawera ka din. Im sure ikaw si Karen! Kahit ano pa sabihin mo mali yung ginawa mo Karen! Kung may problema ka or malubhang sakit sana sinabihan mo yung couple, hindi yung gugulatin mo na lang at walang pasabi. Kung na tegi ka at nasa burol mauunawaan ka pa kaso buhay ka pa so dapat kahit man lang kinausap mo man lang yung mga taong nag tiwala at umaasa sa serbisyo mo at ipinasa mo na lang sa ibang coordinator kung di mo kayang gawin yung wedding nila.
DeleteHoy Lisette Chu tulog ka na! Madaling araw pa
Deletekaya nga e .. bakit out of reach ang cell at wala ng facebook acct. e di malamang nagtatago yan.
DeleteStop making paawa "the husband pawned his car...". It wouldn't have happened if you didnt steal their money. Never ever use other people's money for your own use lalo na if you never deserved it. May nagsasabi nga na may terminal illness sya, what is the point of that? Mamatay na sya tapos kumuha pa sya ng work that she cant do/delegate? And even forged receipts?
Deleteactually useless narin kahit bayaran pa nila kaht may interest pa. ano pang use nun?! e sinira na ung wedding. hnd na matutumbasan ng pero ung naranasan nila. sabe nga dun sa post ma eaearn nila ulit un. pero ung trauma wala andun na un. every time na iisipin mo ung kasal mo un lang maalala mo. kaht sinabe pa nya sa oficial statement nya na sa gabenh un kausap na nila ung couple ano pang sense e tapos na nga?! tigilan ang pag tatanggol. ang bottom line lang dito sinira nya ung special day dapat ng mag asawa.
DeleteSana pakisagot san ba dinala ni karen ung pera ? Sabi sa status on the wedding.day hindi sya makontact. And pls iba ang "nabayaran lahat" at "kalahati bayad" kasi ung emcee nung kasal sabi sa status nya hindi sya bayad.
DeleteWhy does he have to pawn his car when everything was paid for before the wedding? In short, the money was spent but not for the wedding noh?
DeleteSupposed scammer?? Anong supposed dun? Sayo na rin nanggaling, dun lang nagbayad sa suppliers on the wedding day itself. Hindi pa nga yata un ung suppliers na gusto nung couple. At bakit kelangan pa magsanla ng kotse eh di naman nagkulang ung couple sa pagbabayad? Scammer talaga ung Karen, kahit anong paawa gawin nio
DeleteThey did not exactly pay for everything on the same day. It was a Saturday. Karen's husband came by but couldn't get a hold of enough cash because banks were closed. He gave partial cash payment and post dated checks split into several payment terms. So far the checks are ok. I give props to the husband for taking responsibility even though he technically had nothing to do with it.
DeleteDude when you get married, the husband and wife are ONE. Yung mali ng isa, yes, ay burden na din ng isa. It comes with the may-asawa territory. Even if he TECHNICALLY had nothing to do with it, it is his responsibility na din. And unless they are not in good terms or hiwalay sila, I am pretty sure that the wife will tell his husband if she is up to something as major as scamming an unknowing couple.
DeleteLumabas na ang official statement. Partial payment lang. At kahit hindi groom mismo nag post, mukhang kapatid or related, hindi nakikisawsaw.
DeleteIrrelevant kung anong kinailangang gawin ng husband para bayaran, dapat lang they will do everything.
At may malubhang sakit din daw si Karen. Anyho everything is settled financially, but yes the trauma and the sadness it has all caused can never be taken away lalo na sa mag asawa. But at least we know na hindi naman sila tinakbuhan nun coordinator. The bills had been settled out by them on the wedding day itself.
ReplyDeleteOk ka lang??! Di mo ba nabasa na fake ang contract na pinakita sa kanila ni karen. Walang alam si Teddy Manuel sa contract na pinakita ni Karen sa bride and groom! Kapata patawad ba yung gumagawa ng pekeng resibo at kontrata?!!
DeleteKung may malubha syang sakit, wag syang tumanggap ng trabaho. Simple lang naman yan eh. Ang pera ay hindi sa iyo kundi pinagkatiwala lang. The fact still remains may sakit o wala manloloko pa rin sya.
Delete"Malubhang sakit" has nothing to do with this. Huwag padala sa paawa.
DeleteKahit ano pang sakit meron sya, it does not give her the right to falsify receipts and documents MONTHS before the wedding. Hindi ito biglaang isyu lang na tipong masama ang pakiramdam nya nung araw ng kasal kaya di sya nakapunta. Deliberate criminal act ang mameke ang kontrata at resibo at pirma. Ika nga nung isang comment na nakita ko, malicious intent ito at hindi lang negligence.
Can she be sued for forgery as well by the suppliers? They're well known in the industry after all..sorry im too affected coz i was an overseas bride & i cant imagine how painful it was for the couple to have their dream wedding destroyed by a wicked witch.
Deletehustisya ang dapat para sa inyo. sana matagpuan ang p*ny***ng 'to.
ReplyDeletede**nyo ang taong to.. ndi lang pera ang ni***** nya kundi pati ang masaya sanang memory na babalik balikan ng mag asawa..dapat jan sunugin...at ang lakas nmn ng taong tong mag tanggol eh wala rin nmn xang alm..kalokaaa
ReplyDeletewala ka palang karapatan magsalita sa pera and about the event eh di tumahimik ka nalang. Pinagtatangol mo M. She cannot hide behind having a child to avoid prosecution. She should have thought of that before she hoodwinked these people on what was supposed to be the best event of their lives.
ReplyDeleteAng saklap naman nangyari..dapat my kalagyan ang scammer na yan
ReplyDeleteAng pinag tataka ko lang dun sa isang part ng story ni groom eh yung sa catering. Diba ang suppliers bago matuloy ang services nila you need to give a downpayment so paano natuloy at nagka food sa venue kung di sila bayad at sabi ni groom puro fake lang ang receipts so paano pumayag si caterer kung walang money involve kasi di pwede yan sa wedding supliers.
ReplyDeletebaka nagbigay ng post dated check si scammer?
DeleteOo nga. Ang alam ko ha, based sa experience namin sa events (e.g. Josiah's which is accredited ng Fernwood and Fernbrook), dapat 100% paid na (or fully paid in other words) ang caterer days before the event. Sigurista ang karamihan sa suppliers lalo caterers.
DeleteMay downpayment nga. Pero pagkakaalam ng couple fully paid na sila.
DeleteAgree.
DeleteThe food that was served was not what they ordered. They were served the most basic menu. So in short, they were cheated. Also, why was there no limo?
DeleteIt's not possible if individual ang lumapit at nakipagkontrata. Pero if ung Glamworks eh "partner" ng suppliers, they might have terms and agreements of their own. It works in other industries as well.
DeleteShe admitted na. Baka may different arrangement sila. Hindi naman standard ung sinasabi mo.
Deleteapparently, may down naman sila kay caterer but ang alam nila groom fully paid na 2mos before the wedding. since si coordinator matagal na sa industry, may mga caterer naman na pde on the day na isettle ung balance. when you read sa wedding groups in FB andun ung name ng caterer,
Delete--- wedding supplier also----
Bilib dinnako sa tagapag-tanggol ng scammer na to no. Jina-justify pa ata nito ang oang loloko ng friend nya. So yung friend nya pa ang api, ganun? Kawawa naman ang anak, ganun? E d sana naisip nya yan bago nya nya pineke lahat ng resibo ng suppliers! Ka-bo** naman nyan. Sorry sa scammer friend mo ha? Naapi tuloy sya ngayon.
ReplyDeleteUmiinit ulo ko! Ang Kapal Kapal ng makuha!
ReplyDeleteSakit? Ano namang sakit? Wag idahilan and sakit para makapanloko ng ibang tao. Dinipensahan pa ang panloloko sa kapwa.tsk tsk.
ReplyDeleteang dami na nafeature dito na mga na-scam na couples. from wedding gown designers to coordinators tsk tsk sana lng me nagsampa na sa kanila ng kaso.
ReplyDeletenakakatawa yun lisette sa pagtatanggol. wala daw syang karapatang magsalita about sa nangyari pero shes representing the family of karen! alam ba nya sinasabi nya? take a look at the situation objectively. the couple paid the whole amount kung magkano ang sinabi ng coordinator so this karen should deliver kung anuman ang napagusapan. if not, its a breach of contract. second, the mere fact that this karen produced a FAKE receipts, its unacceptable! ang tawag dun falsification of public documents. just in case this karen and this lisette didnt know. no justifications and reasons on whatever they did. if their excuse is the coordinator got sick, pass it on to ur assistants. a contract is a contract. she just want to have symphaty. oo, gusto mong intindihin kaso legally speaking, hindi sya katanggap tanggap.
ReplyDeleteSiguro dapat sa wedding. never trust anyone with your hard earned money. pag may bills na need bayaran, magissue ng check dun lang nakapangalan sa babayaran mo ng bills para hindi magamit ng iba ung pondo or ikaw mismo ang pumunta sa mga babayaran like ung catering, hotel, etc para sure na tama ung resibo. Ung coordinator na lang siguro bahala sa mga ayos ayos ng lugar, ung sa staff. pero ung magpapakasal dapat ang personally magbayad.
ReplyDeleteHow about the bride's friend who introduced this Karen Scammer to the couple? Di nya ba alam na scammer sya? And to the spokeperson of the scammer if u think na agrabyado kayo eh di idemanda nyo kung sino man ang nagpost sa FB at tingnan natin kung sinong peke at scammer buti nga para lalong maexpose yang scammer na yan. Grabe sya ah! Wlang tinupad sa pinagusapan, kinuha ang pera at di nagpakita, so tagapagtanggol anong tawag mo dyan? Victim or scammer? Tigil tigil sa katatanggol sa mga scammer. Pero bilib ako sa groom at very calm pa rin sya in the midst of crisis.
ReplyDeleteSyempre kelangan ma-establish ang business sa umpisa para dumami lolokohin. Alangan naman first few customers lokohin right away.
ReplyDeleteMahihirapan na silang magdemanda kasi nga wala na silang pera. Hanggang nagyon nga eh hinahabol pa sila ng catering company kasi di pa sila nakapagbayad.
ReplyDeletesi ate sawsawera pero dead air naman din...hanuvey..its best nanahimik na lang din sya...#epalwalawenta
ReplyDeletePlease wag na kau sumali sa issue na to... makibasa na lang kayo but don't judge..
ReplyDeletewala kang magagawa di mo kami mapipigilan Karen. A scammer is a scammer karma will give u justice.
DeleteMakibasa na lang kayo... wag na kau sumawsaw sa issue...
ReplyDeleteUhm, this is for awareness sake. Duh?
Deletee di sana tanggalin na ang comment section para san pa yan?! saka opinyon namin yun wala ka pake lol
DeleteAy, may ton**ng naligaw. Hindi ata alam kung para saan ang COMMENT box.
DeleteNakikisawsaw ka din by expressing your opinion
DeleteAnon 9:05, lisette ikaw ba yan???
DeleteBefore you say na sana nag-isip muna ang nagpost and nagshare ng complaint ng couple, sana sinabihan mo yung friend mo na sana nag-isip rin muna na makaka-apekto sa pamilya nya esp sa anak nya ang mga masasamang gawain sa ibang tao.
ReplyDeleteGosh! What a nightmare! Unforgivable curse yan!
ReplyDeleteshe faked the receipts, forged signatures... may explanation pa ba dun???! and oh please, leave the 3 year old out of this scam. sana inisip nya yun bago sya mamemeke. Pinagtatanggol mo pa??? surely nakinabang ka. Wedding is a momentous event tapos ginanun nya?? tapos mag sosorry and then move on na? its right that other engaged couples are warned. her business be damned! wedding coordination is based on trust. weed out the bad apples!
ReplyDeleteYung Lisette ata nagrefer sa kanya sa emgoldex kya pinagtatanggol nya sabit din sya eh.
ReplyDeletePaying for the suppliers will not absolve her from being tagged as a scammer. Faking receipts, providing services/suppliers different from what was agreed upon, not showing up to do the coordination from the start of the preparation is scamming as well. She might be a legit wedding coordinator, but what she did to the couple turned her into a questionable one.
ReplyDeleteMost of the people who forward, share and comment on this do not wish her harm personally but rather to warn other couples of her history. It is still up to them if they would take the risk.
I'm not defending the wedding coordinator but something was not right sa story. Half a million peso is not enough to have a Fernbrook wedding + exclusive package and all the other services that they claim to have booked. Sa full planning and coordinator pa lang, hindi ba bumababa ng 50k.
ReplyDeleteRead it again.
Deletebasa basa ulet ate..may prob ka sa comprehension
Delete11:55 reading comprehension teh... catering pa lang yung 500k
Delete1.6M daw total na binayad nila sa Karen na yun teh
DeleteHay, konting basa pwede.
DeleteSa dami ng nangloloko ngayon, minsan pati sa mismong church, nag iisip ka na baka nakawin pa gamit mo. Yung sister ko din, lahat na lang pinagdududahan nya. Minsan kasi wife ng Pastor sa church namin niloko pa brother namin. Tapos makakabasa ka ng ganitong pangloloko sa wedding. Saan ka na lang pupunta? Take care na lang always. Ask God to give us guidance. Mahirap na.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this Lisette is just being a friend. Pero syempre sa mga kinasal, they've lost more than their money. They've lost something they can't bring back. More than the suppliers' bills, dapat bayaran nila ng emotional damages ang couple na ito.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this Karen was really good at her job. Kaya may mega tanggol sa kanya. Yun nga lang syempre it doesn't change the fact na this time, niloko nya ung mag-asawa. Siguro naging "mapalad" lang itong couple na ito because they are overseas at mas madaling imanipulate yung funds na narereceive niya from them. well, the damage has been done. Mas mabuting payuhan na lang ng Lisette na ito si Karen, instead na yung mga bumabatikos sa kanya. Mas nakakagigil lang sya sa pinagsasabi nya.
ReplyDeletekaloka yung lisette chu napaka unreasonable ng pinagsasasabi.
ReplyDeleteOh my I cant imagine this will happen to me.... horror...
ReplyDeleteIn any case, when you get services from anybody using 3rd party providers/suppliers, we all should have the initiative to contact the 3rd party right before and after making settlements. Parang sa mga online shops, when they offer services, products (or accomodations). Contact these businesses to make sure they have these adverts online using this person/company/website.
ReplyDeleteI do these all the time, with hotel/resort accommodations and spa services, i ask them if the online advert is legit. And always get the name of the contact person. Sometimes I have to try verifying a couple more times lalo na pag medyo pricey yung service.
I'm pretty sure most of us knows alot about possible scams and how to be safe, pero ewan ko ba, totoo yatang matatamis ang dila ng mga to (or totoo kaya ung nahi hypnotize?) kaya naseset aside na yung pagiging vigilant dapat natin. Just my unsolicited opinion.
I will send her to jail period. Let this be a lesson to her
ReplyDeleteI hope this company will be banned from wedding exhibits or websites. I was an overseas bride tho iv chosen to coordinate w/ suppliers directly. But we do rely on recommendations, review of friends. Thats y it hits home when i saw this. How dare her use her daughter as an excuse? Its so pathetic! And her 'friend' Lisette, ur not being a friend by siding her, friends shldnt condone a behaviour like this! Its hard earned money of the couple & she used it for easy money! She made her own hell...
ReplyDeleteI share nyo eto sa fb at saan saan pa para mabigyan ng leksyon yang scammer na yan!
ReplyDeleteAt ikaw naman Lisette, matanong lang kita ha.. Kinasal ka na ba..? Ipagpanggap na lang natin na ganon nga, at ganito ang nangyari sa 'yo.. So ang tanong, anong mararamdaman mo iha..?
ReplyDeletehihintayin ko ang sagot mo, at siguraduhin mong makatotohanan lang lahat ng sasabihin mo Ineng..
malinaw na pinlano nya ang pag scam sa kanila because she falsified documents, receipts and forged signatures.
ReplyDeleteDapat dyan kinakasuhan at nakukulong ng hindi umulit at pamarisan
A 3yr old kid naaffect? My God can a 3yr old kid read already? Go to fb and read d news feed and comments and actually understand?? We are not stupid wag gamitin ang walang muwang na bata as an excuse to say affected a 3yr old kid. naman!!! If nagschool d 3yr old kid as nursery can her 3-4yr old classmates bully her coz they also "read the fb post" a 3-4 yr old kid Ha. I have a 3yr old and he watches tv surfs d net but My God he doesn't understand d news feed 100% unless u explain. Hay. This scammer should just own up to her mistakes and not beg for peoples sympathy just coz her 3yr old is affected. Naman naman. Sya kamo and her adult family and relatives are affected for the shame she herself brought upon them
ReplyDeleteDapat lang na gawing bad example itong scammer na Ito para people will be aware that these things are real and can happen to them if they are not careful
ReplyDeleteIf that thing happen to me, I will contact the NBI to arrest her! Ang mga ganitong klaseng panloloko sa kapwa ay hindi dapat hinahayaan makawala! The groom is right...money can be earned but that wedding moment cannot be replaced!
ReplyDeleteMs. Karen alam mo nmn cguro king gano kahalaga sa isa babae ang dream wedding dahil babae ka rin...kinuha ka nila dahil alam nila professional ka... Alam mo ba kung gano din kahirap ang magtiwala sa isa tao na kakakilala mo lang? At ngayon alam mo rin cguro kung panu kumuha ng tiwala ng di mo kakilala... Pero pinag katiwalaan ka nila at the first place and also hindi ka lng ngayon naghandle ng wedding kaya bawat details alam mo na unless kung bawat wedding gnyan gingawa mo... At ahead of time yung mga dapat mo isettle na payment na settle mo n nagawa mo na
DeleteChura nung lisette chu! Na try mo na ba nakwan ng pera teh?? Baka nga mahablutan ka lang ng bag or cellphone mag dadakdak kna diyan! I hope they make this scammer pay triple so they get the wedding they deserve and somehow ease the trauma caused by this heartless ughhh nevermind.
ReplyDeleteKaya pinag tatanggol nung lisette chu kasi kamag anak daw sya. Sabi nya dun sa isang comment sa fb. "Eh kayo kung kamag anak nyo ginaganito". Sabi ni chu! Chura mo, baka kaya may kick back ka kasi no? Di ba isa ka dun sa mga nagtatrabaho kay karen? For sure may kick back ka te!
ReplyDeleteKaren favis carlos. Kung di ka talaga guilty sa ginawa mo bakit di ka na lang kasi nagpakita bago ang araw ng kasal at inamin mo ang ginawa mong panloloko sa mag asawa. Baka naman nag karoon pa ng chance na nagawan ng paraan at naayos pa bago pa man din magka da lintek lintek. Ayan tuloy.
ReplyDelete:) As far as I know, there are no accredited coordinators as of this moment sa Fernbrook Gardens. They should accredit some trusted coordinators from good companies to avoid such scams.
ReplyDeletelegally speaking anong case ba ang pedeng i file dun sa karen?
