Terrible policies for preventing scams Disclaimers abound saying they don't facilitate shopping and there are no guarantees you'll get the thing you backed. BUT when someone takes your money then drops out of contact and doesn't give you anything, indiegogo will send them a message asking them to contact you. That's it. They leave the scammers on the website, free to keep taking peoples' money. They could at least shut the listing down. That seems reasonable. Luckily many of the vendors on the site are honest and you get the thing you backed. But when it goes wrong indiegogos policies are absolutely useless.

Indiegogo is actively supportiung scam projects. It's save to say that Indiegogo is a company providing tools for scammer. My Experience is with IvizBox2 Pro. Originally it was scheduled to be released sporing 2018. After endless excuses from the prject owner, in 2024 they still claim suply chain problems and Covit based excuses... I finally gave up asked to be removed as a backer consider the money being lost. Indiegogo refuses to delete the scamer form their side and even accept orders. I'm wondering why we can't legally do something about this platform.

Tipping Scam I can see that many reviews are about the product and not Indiegogo (which are inccorrect reviews). My review is about Indiegogo. When paying for your product Indiegogo will add a 35 dollar tip on the order. It is visible in your order before you pay, but it is put on silently. so I payed them 35 dollars tip which I never wanted to. They get money from any orders you make already, so the tip is just a scam.

Dishonest company The definition of “fraud” is: “The crime of getting money by deceiving people.” Indiegogo’s platform is built on taking your money, then taking zero responsibility for the outcome of the project you invest in. Don’t give them your money. EDIT: Indiegogo’s reply made me laugh, They spouted the same BS for months while I tried to get a refund for a fraudulent campaign.

The worst e-shopping experience I ever had The worst experience I ever had with ‘e-shopping’. I ordered an e-bike, it never came. For weeks I was trying with the customer service. Email after email. At first, I was getting the same automated answers. Covid excuses, supplier problems, they even claimed delays due to the Chinese New Year! Then they completely ignored me. Weeks turned into months. Meanwhile, false updates kept coming up in the site. Hopeless. I was mad, felt my money was lost, but I did not let go. That’s what they want you to do by being so unhelpful. So I also ignored them and made an official compIaint to the bank. After following a certain procedure, the credit card issuer fully refunded me, even after so many months -in the end they acknowledged it was a scam (what served as proof were the actual emails I got from indiegogo customer service!)
