#2Project has already been taken down by creator, and all of the companies information is being deleted from the internet, yet they still managed to get nearly $5,000 in the few hours it was up, which is quite worrying.

The don't actually get that $5,000. It's worrying that that amount was pledged, but Kickstarter / Amazon Payments doesn't charge until after a project is complete, and in the case of an unfinished, canceled project, never.

#4I've been wondering for a while how long it would take for mass fake projects being created on kickstarter/indiegogo once these sites got more widely known. This project uses stolen pictures, but one could easily mock up random 3D scenes, make a cool video and walk away with 100k for two days work

#6If anything, this is should be kind of a relief to Kickstarter users since people have PLENTY of time to discover these scam projects before payment is distributed.

This is only because the project was rumbled so quickly after it was launched. If they had maybe spent a few hours time mocking up some original images they could have been on their way to a fully funded project.

#8The only scams like these which will work on Kickstarter is campaigns that aren't especially interesting or may not appeal to a huge audience. Once a campaign gets to 100k, there is press involved and people researching. If you get $5k in pledges, no one would look deep enough to check if you're legit. Kickstarter is quite tough in terms of getting on the site and through the month process.
I think it shows, always do some due diligence, it seems people did in this case. Look up the creator, their experience. They don't have to provide any work at the end of it all, so it's up to you as a possible pledger.

No, they get paid once the project reaches its goal and the time runs out. There's no guarantee that your money is going towards a project that gets finished.

I like the t-shirt and the bag too. You can clearly see it hasn't been screenprinted. It's been done in Photoshop.
