Kickstarter has consistently been supporting scams who have little or not credibility on a precursor search of the seller. When questioned kickstarter have the policy of pointing to their consumer law breaching terms and doing nothing to help consumers. This is clearly a breach of consumer law, however the unethical employees and company as a whole don't care. It would be like saying that eBay has no responsibility for their sellers, yet this has been ruled by the courts in various countries to be untrue. The degenerates that kickstarter is protecting because they get a commission is certainly a proceed of crime. They are complicit in scams and do nothing to help the victims of their scams. It should be a black mark on your CV to work for this company
Glad that we are able to help make sure others are not continuing to fund this site. Kickstarter has completely lost any moral compass it may have had when it set out on its' journey and is now clearly just happy to take a percentage off any SCAMMER that is in operation. Check out the comments for Wear Graphene and the Gamma jacket. It's not that they supported the initial run but despite all the feedback and comments they received on this SCAM company - they continued to help run a second round. DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING ON THIS SITE.
Sadly, the truth v reality of Kickstarter do not match up. Some great-looking projects are launched on Kickstarter, such as the recent Brandon Sanderson Kickstarter, which has a clear person behind it and is going to be a legitimate treat for all its backers. And then there are the many high budget scam projects. Sadly I was recently sucked into the Ergoplax scam and lost £500 in the process. The product was never produced, the creator went silent, and when I attemped a credit card claim, they declined - Kickstarter is where you "offer support" not buy a project and as such the items are not guaranteed. Kickstarters position is simply that they can't help, it's not their problem, despite the ease of which scammers can populate the website. There is zero accountability. Be very careful who you back on this site. If you do back a project, make sure that there is accountability (Who is making the project, where do they live, are they a public figure? Do they live in the same country as you?). If you must invest, treat it as a gamble, because there's a good change you'll never see your product or your money.
Kickstarter is a fraud of a company. I backed the Haxson Air Fan. Supposed to be similar the Dyson fan (bladeless) with the accompanying directional control. Also supposedly in final stages before shipping with an estimated ship date of May 2022.Now, after delay on top of delay on top of delay, the primary incentive for the purchase, which was claimed to be COMPLETELY designed and tested when I backed) is replaced with a conventional, bladed fan and there's no end in site to the excuses (and certainly not for the shipping).The project page on KickStarter still has the same images and the same description despite being significantly different in both regards (this change happened early last year).Kickstarter claims companies are not allowed to deviate significantly from prototype, but when I contacted them they informed me that since the project had reached its funding goal, the company had been paid and there was nothing kickstarter could/would do.With each "project update" (which would be more appropriately described as "project excuses for which no intention ever existed to provide the actual item backers financed") there's a ton of responses from backers demanding their money back (no one in their right mind would pay what they charged for a fan that looks like it could have been bought for about $30 at RadioShack) and Kickstarter sits back and does nothing to enforce the rules they claim to have.It's a scam, strongly warn everyone to stay away.
My experience of using the platform as a Superbacker:From 64 projects backed,Nine project scams with no updates last 12-16 months in the total amount of $1100+. Four projects are still in a stage we will deliver to you one day, maybe this summer, after two years.I have to highlight that 90% of projects where I have ordered addons haven't delivered the correct amount of items, so you have to contact customer support. You will receive missing items in 3-5 weeks with paying delivery and customs clearing in the best scenario.Six pledges were refunded.Conclusion:Is that 20-40% of discount worth the risks and disappointment?Not at all. In addition, 10% of projects appreciated the support, other 90% DGAF about your consent at all after two years, and the majority of Asian based companies are so rude in communication and act like criminals.A piece of advice, if for some reason you have "invested" in the project and they postponed delivery for some magical reason, coincidence, any excuse, initiate a refund from your bank.
Kickstarter has become the perfect platform for scammers. They take no responsibility if the creators collect all the money they need and then skip. I would never invest in anything on Kickstarter. I'd like to help designers, but not people who commit fraud. I contacted their support team and all I got is a canned statement that basically says "We're not responsible for refunds for projects. You would have to join with all the backers on the project and sue the developer who happens to be in China. Really???See this site for what's happening on one project.
