Indiegogo is a scam Indiegogo is a scam. A company that does no verification on campaign organizers. Uses crowdfunding and perks as a mechanism to officiate a purchase. Allows indiegogo to say you didn't purchase a product when you did. Saying that your product you ordered is just a perk of your donation all of this to get around consumer law. Indiegogo is just a mechanism to deliver money to scammers and facilitate there continued operation.

A front for scammers and Ponzi schemes galore! Haven for simply taking peoples hard earned money and then placing the blame ultimately on the “backer” as its very clear they dont hold any of the “campaign starters” liable for the claims they make. Even after the campaign creators have then switched to selling the product on their own website. Opposed to following through on the campaign statements.

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.

Contributions missing from my campaign I’m missing a third of the contributions I’ve received from my campaign. People have shown me contribution confirmations yet they visibly are missing on my side as a campaigner. This is up to 1/3rd of my contributors and I can’t event tell how many donations I may have missed. This is so alarming and upsetting. I’ve sent multiple help messages with no response. I’ve just started my campaign and am so worried about faulty transactions. I don’t know what to do. Please respond with a human.

Don’t even bother contacting support The company is extremely unhelpful. Don’t even bother contacting them, as they mark queries and complaints as ‘solved’ without even acknowledging them. I was asking for clarification on something one of their team said, so it’s not like I’m asking them for something they can’t do! And even if I was, a simple email saying ‘sorry, we can’t help with that’ is better than just ignoring me. Makes it even funnier to me that the response to these negative reviews on here, is the company recommending us to use the contact button. If they give the same answer to this it just proves even further the fact that they don’t even bother reading what their users are asking/saying ETA: So look at their response...and guess what happened when I contacted that email? If you said it got marked as 'solved' with nobody contacting me, you get a cookie!
