I like to bring to everyone attention if you are thinking of
making a career change to a wedding planner, there is currently a
scam in town call the "DoWed" (http://www.dowed.com.sg/)where they
are engage as wedding planner to help newly wed couple in their
wedding.
They also conduct course on wedding planner under the name
"DoWed Academy", and the owner is Sherwin Lee the scamer at large.
The fees he charges are high S$2600, in which he promise there will
be a employment after completing the course, which he also make
everyone of his students sign the employment letter, the course
become a scam on the very first day we all started, to my surprise,
there were no sales kit given as promise, instead he give us
someone else wedding planner sales kits which to me is totally
unethical to begin with. This is the wedding planner program we
receive from him:
http://www.willrichbridal.com/wedding-packages.html, and it is
really unbelievable, a professional wedding planner company does
not have their own wedding package, they use a link that belongs to
another company.
He is always giving excuses on a last minutes basic and reason
to cancelled the classes, and his reasons are like ... my dog is
sick, he is sick but when you see the things he uploaded to his
facebook the activity, he didn't look sick but very well and alive
and drinking like a horse ... https://www.facebook.com/sherwinl,
other reasons, he give was office air-condition not working, office
under renovation, meeting etc but he seem to have a lot of his time
having long holidays trip to Japan and America. i believe the
expense of his long and very expensive holiday trip are all from
the course fees we all paid and not deliver.
We all start the course last year, May 2012, and there is
suppose to have an exam in Nov 2012, because he cancelled most of
the classes, therefore, we can no longer is able to follow the
timetable as set by him.
He also promise that the class will be given a lists of listing
for us to start with, which he also conveniently brush us aside
saying that we do not deserve to be given because we are not
committed. and he took the listing that belong to us and when away
to work on it, what a scam!!!!
Then he when on a super long holiday in the States without
completely the course with us and this trip was make in early 2013,
when he return, we question him about not being able to deliver
what we pay for and promise, and to our surprise, he told us that
there is nothing to learn from him and so the class just ended with
out an examination ... what a scam!!!!!
He took everyone for a ride in the up most unethical way to earn
a living, lies after lies he has been telling and putting the blame
on us for his self fish gains .... We are all at a lost as to what
should we do with a man scam like this. But I believe we are not
the only one, I did a check and found our that they were other
victim in his earlier courses too ... sigh!
He will be conducting another scam class soon by DoWed Academy
in July 2013, I believe, that money that he is working toward is to
up keep his high life and expensive lifestyle on the expense of the
innocent people. I hope people who are like us thinking of making a
career switch and want to spend our hard earn money on the right
investment, just be very very aware about this company call "DoWed"
and the owner is Sherwin Lee.
Lastly, do spread the word around, S$2600 is not a lot of money
to him but is a lot and lot of money to many of us. Even about to
be wed couple, please stay far, far away from him and this company,
trust me you will not be paying and getting what you want.
