IGG actually taking a product down because it's a scam?

WHAT ?!? What is this world coming to... if IGG takes them down, then what do we have to post about ?

They did with Triton, but only after a huge uproar in the media and people like thunderf00t went after them.

I think a lawyer was willing to do a case on contingency against them as well and filed paperwork. SKARP did not make as much money but the latest "update" after three months . well .. utter bullshit.

IGG is stopping the most obvious ones , at least when they get a lot of complains.They are starting to get a seriously bad reputation , so anything helps I guess.

But will the backers receive their money back? this is the 500000$ question.

I doubt Skarp will voluntarily pay it back and I don't see how Indiegogo can make them. My guess is that IGG told Skarp to take their pound of flesh and beat it.

For the "skarpers" it will be a 300$ lesson in "think before you hand strangers on the internet your money", and most of them will never want to touch any crowdfunding campaign again, wether they're serious or not since they can't see the difference. Maybe it's for the best , but in the whole, the whole crowdfunding industry will suffer.

When it comes to IGG, they'll try to soften the blows of those obvious scams , by stopping or removing them well after the damage is done, maybe even removing the ones which are too obvious or ridiculous. But the money is too good, so my guess is that they'll continue to earn as much as possible with what's left of their reputation for as long as possible, their are still many suckers on the internett who need their pockets cleaned dry by those clowns.

For us at Shittykickstarters, watching those scampains is like watching a trainwreck in slowmotion, reading the comments of the backers in the forums while eating popcorn...

Some of us will pay 1$ once in while to try to warn a few of the backers, but more and more of the scampaigns are removing this possibility....
