This platform is full with scams This platform is full with scams and won't protect the backers at all. Many of us invested a reasonable amount of money and after 5 years nor have we been refunded, nor where there a lawsuit against this company, to insure we get our money back. Instead we are left to deal on our own and beg a scam company, so we get our refunds for a product that was never delivered (it's been 5 years now!!).

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.

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.

IndieGoGo did not payed to us… We have organize a successful campaign for a new film about Gaza, after the worldwide success of our first film that it is on Netflix. They haven’t send us the funds. No explanation. No way to communicate with them. Literally, they are holding the funds of all the donors which in good faith have donated their money. We are a production company with 22 years of track record. Still don’t know if they will pay. However, keeping our funds and not even communicating with us speaks tons about IndieGoGo’s Inc lack of ethics, transparency, and lack of accountability.
