[QUOTE="CubicsRube, post: 8708310, member: 6848185"] How much did the kickstarter go for? $1M? So they spent 90% on production costs? If so that makes no sense whatsoever. On top of the red flags mentioned in other posts. they should have retained funds from prior projects that were quite successful. It sounds like they sunk most of that into early stages of future projects. 1) Actions to hold products is a last resort when the company is ready to damage relations. It means that people have been knocking on their door and asking for payment for quite a while first. Likely during the time they were launching another project. That's concerning. 2) Why the gofundme keeps getting taken down is odd and I would think another red flag. 3) It's a PROFORMA invoice, not PROFORMAL. While it doesn't necessarily point to the invoice being fake, it's unusual a company would have this typo on the header of their invoice, as this is usually automated. EDIT: I browsed the gofundme terms and conditions. One condition is that goods (or services) are not provided in exchange for donations, which was likely why it was taken down. If so, then it doesn't speak well to their admin skills when it took me less than 1 minute to find. [/QUOTE]
