Kickstarter seems to do very little to vet the companies that it allows on its platform. I backed a vinylsonic record cleaner over a year ago and have heard nothing since April of 2023. Another record cleaner kickstarter (from the same group of people) was suspended last minute by the company. However, those of us that backed the first kickstarter are left without any way to get a refund for our backing. This seems to be an obvious scam but we have received absolutely no response from Kickstarter about any of our complaints about the project. It is sad to see the crowdsourcing idea tarnished by these fraudulent companies.

Never again! Stay as far away as possible.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE.... NEARLY ALL THE SO CALLED PROJECTS ARE SCAMS DESIGNED TO PART YOU WITH YOUR MONEY KICKSTARTER ARE ABSOLUTELY AWARE OF THIS BUT AS THEY TAKE COMMISSIONS WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT... THEY ARE WORSE THAN THE SCAMMERS IN MY OPINION IF YOU ASK THEM FOR HELP YOU ARE TOLD TO GET AN ATTORNEY!!!! IT WOULD ALSO APPEAR THAT THIS IS A NEW PAGE FOR THEM AS THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS ABOUT THEM BEFORE.....NEARLY ALL NEGATIVE!!

Kickstater will not reply or even acknowledge when a project fails. According to their terms of use there are safeguards against failed projects but the scams continue without any resistance from Kickstarter

Multiple products to back on the site are fronts for the "creator" to scam investors of their money with no intent on delivering project. Kickstarter doesn't want to take action, as they profit based on a commission earned on the seed funding. Kickstarter is likely aware of this and acts as an accessory to fraud.

I have backed many campaigns on kickstarter in the past but as of late it has become a safe haven for scammers and crooks and Kickstarter refuses to take any responsibility. I sadly will never trust a campaign on kickstarter again. Trust broken

Von der Idee selbst ganz gut, aber leider tummeln sich dort inzwischen viele Betrüger und Kickstarter hilft nicht trotz Verstoss der Betrüger gegen die Kickstarter Regeln. Die Chancen tatsächlich ein brauchbares Produkt zu erhalten sind wie ein Lotterielos. Kickstarter hat nur Interesse daran viele Projekte ausschreiben zu können. Nie wieder Kickstarter
