Thank you indiego… I think people misunderstand this company. They back products they believe are good. They aren't the manufacturer. I purchased fabulous kitty litter box. I waited six months for this product and worth the wait. Then you indiego for helping this company achieve their dreams and give my kitty and I something we love. I own the main competitor product as well, and this product beats it. Thank you indiego for believing in the women. And people, quit confusing indiego's role!

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.

The website was easy to use The website was easy to use and the risks of backing a product are well documented. I had seen an article in a Japanese online newspaper regarding a toy but it was only available in Japan. I then came across it on Indiegogo unfortunately it was only available in the USA. It was then made available for delivery to the UK. The toy arrived today just 8 days after I invested in the product all the way from Japan, sent via Japan Post and delivered by Parcelforce even though Indiegogo warned it would not be shipped till their 10 cancelation period had elapsed. I was able to track it at every step of the way.

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!!).

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.
