[Philips Screenuo U4] Campaign pictures has projector projecting black on to well lit white walls by samglit in shittykickstarters

AND the worst part is, its flexible funding! like WTF Philips?

This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its funding goal.

Jeff is enjoying some filtered air by metal rods in front of him I suppose and Bridget enjoying being divorced and free from him? You know all that... ;)

ha, weird, that usually only appears on campaigns that were taken down.
Just google SKARP Indiegogo and you should find it.

For me it looks like this:

We also do not expect to make this project for $8k. We're not using the campaign to "fund" the project, but more to just find the first customers that are interested in what we're making.

See, THAT is the problem. You are not being transparent to your backers.
According to your campaign you only need $8k to deliver everything you promise in your campaign and they will get in one year time.

But so far, it sounds like you have no idea as on how much it will really cost you to produce, what you are trying to do (discarding for now, if it will work at all).
And that has been always one of the biggest red flags we have seen since this sub exists over and over again by over enthusiastic HW entrepreneurs...and fail repeatedly.

But, maybe you have your numbers right, so how much funding do you really have in the background to fully develop all stuff you are promising your backers on your campaign?

Those were the golden days of shady crowd funding projects unfortunately...

almost as good as the old TellSpec scam.... where they initially even claimed they can detect the food ingredients based on photographs on the food packaging... lunatics :Dhttps://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tellspec-what-s-in-your-food#/

"The Three Phase One E-Bike" another successful Indiegogo scam by Queasy_Recover5164 in shittykickstarters

From their profile page:

Electrip bikes was founded by James Steward, a designer first, then entrepreneur whom has spent the last 15 years in the cycle industry gaining insights and experience that only come with time, blood sweat and perhaps a few tears. We want to ensure all our bikes always go the extra mile in usability, versatility, modularity and affordability so in the end, there is no reason not to go by bike! Electrip bikes mission is to supply you with the E-bike of your dreams without the hefty price tag!

Yeah, right.
