"The Huggable Co" - are con artists Back in 02 June 2022 I contributed towards a campaign for some collapsible travel cups. Since then after many 'so called' delays. There have been perhaps 3 updates, last of which was in October 2023 and yet no cups, no updates and after a few requests, no refund or further update at all. Indiegogo are useless and state that I need to contact the campaign directly. Yet when I contact the "The Huggable Co" (Based in SHEPTON MALLET, United Kingdom) They just ignore all contact.

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 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.

Campaign owner broke multiple terms The campaign owner broke multiple terms. Going through Indiegogo's terms and conditions, the campaign owner for a project I was backing broke multiple terms. More recently it appears the campaign owner has been selling stock before sending to backers. I created a ticket to that effect which was closed with no reply. Backing a project comes with risks but when the campaign owner breaks multiple terms and conditions, Indiegogo will not stand by their own terms that are there to protect backers.
