CBE 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Another reason why all brides to choose carefully who you pay anything to.. if they pop out of nowhere asking you for deposits and claim they are very good and has done a lot of job, it means nothing. They can run away in a single night without you having any power to do anything. Who's to control them? Nobody...who you gonna complain to? Nobody as well.They may just call you up last minute and tell you sorry they cannot do anything. Read on...A bride and groom were humiliated on their wedding day when the wedding planner disappeared with RM37,000 in cash and goods, Harian Metro reported. The victim said that the wedding planner was supposed to provide catering services, invitation cards, bridal wear and accessories for the wedding. “Unfortunately, a day before our wedding last September, the planner sent an SMS informing me that he could not provide all the services as promised,” the victim said. According to the victim, there was nothing they could do at that point. “We were forced to serve snacks to our guests,” the victim said. The modus operandi of the wedding planner was to get customers to deposit a sum of money into his mother’s bank account. The victim who had contacted planner’s mother, said she told him that she was not aware of her son’s activities. “The mother even claimed that she was no longer in contact with him,” said the victim, who lodged a police report.

jean_jj 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2011 GOSH, i really pity the bride and groom. But RM37k is not a small sum wor.... they can simply pay to any wedding planner? For such a big amount, i tot it would be safer to pay thru a company or anything? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
