In 2024, countless reports about Neri Naig’s arrest crossed the surface. She was arrested by the authorities reportedly over an alleged syndicated estafa regarding the Dermacare issue. Amid the issue, there were reports that another celebrity is set to face an arrest warrant and Rufa Mae was named.

Quinto’s camp denied the accusations against the comedienne. Her lawyer also said that they are planning of filing a case.
“Ni hindi sa kanya nakapagbayad ng downpayment, tapos ‘yung mga tseke po puro tumalbog. Lahat po ‘yan hawak naman po namin ‘yung ebidensya, ipe-present naming sa court,” Quinto’s lawyer, Atty. Mary Louise Reyes said.
The lawyer of Rufa Mae stressed that her client is only a brand ambassador or an endorser of the brand that is faced with issues. She admitted that the actress is worried as the accusations were allegedly untrue.
