2015: “Tactie” & “Tiko”

Tiko, the famed unibody 3D printer with a whopping 25k comments, mostly chit-chat about other scams. It’s like a scamception!

2016: Kraftwerk

This one hits the top of the “worst Kickstarter project ever” charts. Never delivered and the creators had more drama than a soap opera, hiding behind a lawsuit against the band “Kraftwerk.” Talk about a confusing name game!

2016: Pocketnote

The endless pocket notebook that, ironically, had an end.

2020: Photonbar

A hologram light-painting stick for creativity that was more phantom than photon.

2021: STORR

Promised to keep your coffee fresh, dry, and protected. Well, at least the idea was fresh.

SonderDesign Keyboard

And let’s not forget the non-Kickstarter misadventure!
A pre-order that played the vanishing act.

The real catalyst for this website, though, was the recent shenanigans:

• 2022: Toposh – A “Nebulizer Polisher for PLA & ABS 3D Printed Models.” Déjà vu, anyone? It seemed eerily similar to a scam from just a few months prior. That’s when the lightbulb went off – we need to educate people about these scams and their red flags!

So here we are, building this beacon of awareness and humor in the murky waters of crowdfunding. Join us as we dissect the good, the bad, and the utterly scammy, all while keeping a smile on our faces (because sometimes, you’ve just got to laugh at the absurdity of it all). Let’s make scam-spotting less of a chore and more of an adventure. After all, every superhero needs a sidekick, and we’re thrilled you’re here with us on this scam-busting journey!

Stay scam-smart, folks! 🕵️‍♀️🚀🌐
