I had a similar experience with Kickstarter. I helped fund a project and the guy took the money and ran: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/500095192/md-pen-minimaldurable-pen https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/500095192/md-pen-minima... https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2013/02/9807-kickstarter-fraud-md-pen/ https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2013/02/9807-kickstarter-fr... When I reached out to them, they basically shrugged their shoulders and said there was nothing they could do about scammers ripping people off. Unfortunately, I was patient enough that I had run out the clock on the charge back from my bank. After this, I'll never use Kickstarter again.
