Mach3 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 This stuff has happened before. https://domaingang.com/domain-news/soundfocus-to-file-for-bankruptcy-amp-audio-device-ditched/ I backed this project when it was heavily advertised. Safe to say I won't be backing any company no more. Unless they introduce new laws to protect the consumers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Kickstarter has made some moves to try and curb this as they demand functioning prototypes but it is in no way a sure thing. Indigogo is just the home of scammers with too many to list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
