#3You have to know, anything crowdfunded is very high risk. I'm not sure why people even do it if the reward is maybe a product at a discount.
I'm amazed some unscrupulous company has't abused it to take money with no intention of ever delivering a product.

#5The troubling thing is people ordered the headphones on the website too, not just on kickstarter. I'm sure taking an order on your website and not sending anything is some kind of fraud. It's not like kickstarter where you are funding the company and the company promises to make it up to you.

I assume that this is sarcasm.

You'll find a bunch of them in the ICO space, where crowdfunding is even easier.

It must be as a lot of names pop in my mind straight away. With the CEOs openly lying about statuses right until the end.

Not necessarily a scam, but Sixense raised money for a tracking device, which they then used to develop MakeVR instead. Now they make profits of selling MakeVR, backers get nothing.

"Sixense is still be best known for stringing along Kickstarter supporters of its STEM controllers, a project which raised more than $600k and has yet to ship to backers more than three years after its targeted ship date. Failed Kickstarter projects aren’t all that rare but Sixense has continued to post updates discussing supposed improvements or production issues while backers beg for refunds. All of this has been done while continuing to transition its efforts into software projects like MakeVR."
