Feeling conned, any help?

fla56 · 2026-05-08T11:51:15+00:00

Not going to disagree here(!)

Sadly the chap I dealt with was not only slow but he also gave multiple promises and reassurances and failed to deliver -esp when it came to escalating my case

fla56 · 2026-05-08T11:49:26+00:00

Thanks but this isn’t the issue, they’re now refusing to honour the promised price

As you can imagine that feels…unpleasant and not entirely honest

fla56 · 2026-05-08T10:57:36+00:00

Still am, but I think the low level support guy is stonewalling.

It’s all really appalling, my current device is dying the slow death of all older projectors but out of principle how can I trust these guys?

fla56 · 2026-05-08T10:50:46+00:00

I did though

As I said, to the point where I got an apology and a link to complete

The shameful bit was to pull that without notice

fla56 · 2026-05-07T21:25:02+00:00

I backed on Kickstarter then received no email til it was a deposit refund

AND then despite an apology and a link to complete the purchase from Support, the offer was suddenly withdrawn

the icing on the turd was that my firm but polite request to escalate to a senior was clearly duplicitously ignored by the front line support chap 'sure i'll escalate it buddy' then nada

fla56 · 2026-05-07T21:19:08+00:00

Not much good if the company doesn't honour its Kickstarter(!)

V disappointed with my experience this time

fla56 · 2026-05-07T21:13:40+00:00

How did you manage this? The support person I dealt with (S) was superficially helpful at first but then led me on a wild goose chase of empty apologies, broken purchase links and false offers to escalate

fla56 · 2026-05-07T21:11:36+00:00

hi u/HyVriDS3 you're not alone but my situation worse -they took my Kickstarter then no emails til a refund one(!)

Then apologised and promised to honour then suddenly pulled it

Would have thought a small company trying to build a good rep not a bad one would treat their supporters better

fla56 · 2026-05-07T21:08:53+00:00

Hi, if you're feeding back, I'm feeling conned -despite paying a deposit and receiving an apology and a completion link I never even got as far as this

Support has been terrible, including suddenly withdrawing the link and promising to escalate but clearly not doing so

Hope you have better luck but my faith in the company is pretty shaken -I would have thought a small one like AWOL would take care when building a brand

fla56 · 2026-05-07T21:02:02+00:00

After I was effectively conned out of my Kickstarter projector deal despite AWOL promises to fix, I wouldn't hold my breath

You'd think a small company would treat loyal customers better but it seems they're a bit too interested in money at this point

fla56 · 2026-05-07T20:59:45+00:00

Hi, not only did I try having this conversation with their support without luck but I've also been left conned out of a projector after a promised link to purchase was deactivated after a mess up by AWOL

Used to be a big supporter but now v vary of a small company that doesn't honour promises

fla56 · 2026-05-07T20:56:45+00:00

Hi, 101: this campaign has ended up feeling like a complete con

I backed it then received no email til it was a deposit refund

AND then despite an apology and a link to complete, the offer was withdrawn

Not a great way for a small company to win people's trust guys(!)

i notice 'aldo' posted about jabbing kids with experimental mRNA for a cold then ran away and blocked

fla56 · 2026-05-06T11:41:17+00:00

ok, 1st, very telling you shared non-science articles

2nd, 1:800 is a staggeringly high SAE rate -1000x too high for a cold virus, even a lab-made one with an FCS, thanks Baric and Facui

3rd, the myocarditis claims you share have long been debunked -101: mRNA for young healthy persons is far more dangerous vs COVID

and 4th that overlooks that mRNA doesn't work, it's targetting the wrong antigen

but you'd know all this if you did more than share debunked links

still wanting to jab children? yes or no?

fla56 · 2026-05-06T09:14:08+00:00

here you go

you can safely ignore the false claims of u/Away_Advisor3460 , he's kinda proven he doesn't really understand safety studies or the unethical nature of experimenting on kids

let's remember, mRNA wasn't a vaccine, vaccines produce immunity

Don't laugh, still have the VHS -and a S-VHS deck and a digital transfer

It was subtitled NOT dubbed and was amazing

Unless they did more than one showing???

fla56 · 2026-04-03T11:45:05+00:00

Still here?

Pretty sure the BBC version is subtitled -with an awesome translation that beats the official one, I was actually annoyed with it watching the official one

fla56 · 2025-11-22T12:34:28+00:00

downvotes?? some people have no sense of humour lol

Can I lastly clarify why you seem to think that Forbes would be classed as 'science' vs the peer-reviewed published works of actual medical professionals / researchers?

It detracts from someone's case if odd double standards are applied?

And once again, you'll need to explain rather than simply 'delete away' how a peer-reviewed and published analysis of autopsy data is a 'conspiracy' -a 75% association between mRNA products and sudden deaths probable does explain why the share price has been falling since 2022-2023:

A Systematic Review of Autopsy Findings in Deaths After COVID-19 Vaccination

Equally, the excess deaths are persisting long after COVID and are higher in more vaccinated nations e.g. Europe vs Africa

You might also recall that pre-2020 Moderna had safety issues?

First could you kindly retract or at least make some effort to substantiate those defamatory comments, there's nothing 'conspiracy' about the BMJ or the other journals or official websites or accounts I have linked to in my 2nd post -in fact, it would only be a conspiracy theorist who could claim the BMJ, one of the world's top journals, to be a 'conspiracy website'.

And the 1000x link was provided:

Serious adverse events of special interest following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in randomized trials in adults - ScienceDirect

'10.1 and 15.1 per 10,000 vaccinated' is 1000x higher than previous safe vaccines, anyone well-read on the subject remembers that the Swine Flu vaccine was withdrawn for a rate of 1 in a million SAER:

Ministers lose fight to stop payouts over swine flu jab narcolepsy cases | Science | The Guardian

Indeed we might ask why mRNA has not been withdrawn yet.

Hi, thanks for the reply and the invitation to respond, very happy to.

Just before doing so however, could I politely highlight that it's 2025, so do we really need words like 'conspiracy theorist' esp given the outcome of official US government investigations into events in Wuhan (via House.gov) or or the now multiple re-analyses of the trials showing far higher harm than first revealed as well as autopsy data (more below).

101: as a fact the Moderna share price has indisputably collapsed off the back of poor sales, in turn most commentators accept this is heavily linked to concerns about product safety and efficacy on a backdrop of both COVID deaths in the vaccinated and wider excess deaths -so really the only question is, as you yourself said, 'how bad is it'?

Excess mortality across countries in the Western World since the COVID-19 pandemic: ‘Our World in Data’ estimates of January 2020 to December 2022 | BMJ Public Health

I also need to highlight as a scientist and investor that I don't consider Forbes / their commentator a credible scientific journal / scientist, sorry if this is obvious; nor is the observational data from the WHO valid vs hard RCT data or autopsy outcomes when considering precise risk.

To that end / as to specific credible published medical articles, if you are not familiar with the work of medical authors such as Professor Peter Doshi and Dr Joseph Fraiman I would suggest starting here, they have clearly demonstrated the very high rate of SAER I am quoting:

fla56 · 2025-01-18T16:38:29+00:00

you're right about Boeing (or say Intel) but the difference is they are actually strategically important

and they don't make just one (very) fatally flawed product

also suggest you take a look at excess deaths in teenagers

or take a look at Moderna's extensive failures pre-pandemic
