A netizen complained about an interior design company for being careless with renovation works in his house. He blamed them for damaging his washing machine and ruining the flooring. Is this how you give other people's homes a "new look"?

I usually dun post much on fb but i feel i am obliged to post this incident to warn other new home owners. Pls help to share so more ppl will be aware of this id. So ard feb-march i went to seek ard for some id companies which offers in house loan. And so we found this id "D's Interior Designs Studio". After meeting with him he seems v confident and very knowledgeable abt what he is doing. The first deposit was 2k by cash and he even send me the ss of his conversation with his 3d designer. A few days later he sent me the 3d drawings. The next deposit was close to 6k when he brought me to select the tiles. He even act close with the salesgirl as if he was a regular. All i can say is his acting is really v convincing and good! Not only that he has existing projects to bring me for viewing. He even gave me a agreement contract drafted by the lawyer for the in house loan. He totally upped his scamming tricks! Ok, so the nightmare finally begin. He said he will start the project on 12 april but it nv did. Every week he gave diff kind of excuses & he still lie abt the tiles will rch on a particular date but when i checked with the tiles shop, they told me he didn't order at all. Until now he is totally uncontactable. He doesnt reply to my msges or ans my calls. Out of desperation i went to one of his project to check with the owner, & the owner mentioned that her work has also been delayed but at least they have the cabinets. Their loss is abt 300 plus & they will file a police report. My total loss is close to 8k. I know i will not be getting back my money and i have to work hard again. If not for personal reason that i have to move out asap i will not engage such id just bcos of his in house loan. All i can say is there is really a special place in hell for this kind of guy bcos before giving him all the deposits i told him that I am just working freelance & it really took me some time to save up these money. It's really my hard earned money! Working & having to take care of my child at the same time is not easy. My advice is u can try to get referrals from family members or close friends or just go for big ids with good reviews. It is really not worth the heart pain and the mentally torture. I really hope my post will help home owners to avoid getting scam. The company's Facebook page has been taken down. Chicken out liao?

Imagine having to live without a kitchen cabinet (and no wardrobe, no feature wall, etc) for months, meaning no cooking and washing with 2 small children. My children and I also had to bath in cold water because they delay installing the heater.

Following a contribution from one of our readers, it was reported that many other home owners were also left in the lurch after John Yong from B Z Interior MIA after the home owners made payment for renovations. It is believed that about 15 home owners suffered the same plight. Yong reportedly called Straits Times to declare that he "is not a cheat". He explained that the renovation works were merely delayed as he had cash-flow problems

Hi my name Stevanie. Can you please help me to share my experience with AD&S interior studio. Cos the owner of this interior company cheating and 4 others victims.

Matthew Allan and his wife had paid $63,000 to an interior design firm, Sense Ideas Design, to renovate their new three-bedroom apartment. Mr Allan, an Australian with a Singapore permanent residence here, said that he had paid the firm up to 90% of the total renovation costs.

I'm posting this to create awareness on this SCAMMER Interior Design Company aka the Boss - DESMOND TAN. He engage my company to install air-conditioners for his clients, paid only the first 30% downpayment. Upon completion of the installation, he dragged and gave us 2 backdated cheques but still was bounced. Called & confronted him, he said to give him a few more days for his customer to pay him back. Few days after, his company phone was cut off, We called the client of his & realize payment had been paid to him in full. Which mean he had took the money & refused to pay us.
