"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.

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.

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.

You might as well burn your money than… You might as well burn your money than to back anything in Indiegogo, fraudsters! Stick to kickstarter.

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.
