Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because it still doesn't seems like a genuine response, I keep saying I'd prefer a personal email. It's not about the money, its about a corporate culture, that seems to have a tin ear about its responsibility within the crowdfunding space. In my own half a decade career in customer support I generally resolve these kinds of issues within 24 to 48 hours. IndieGogo so far just keeps being circular in sending me canned responses about terms of use, and when it claims to have reached out to me doesn't seem to feel the need to indicate who and when someone contacted me. If they can't keep track it means they don't even care. I went so far to delete my account and they don't even seem to notice. After this experience I also don't intend to fund anything through IndieGogo, and as someone who is part of a fortune 1,000 business with 20 billion in annual revenue I'll recommend everyone who asks me about IndieGogo to avoid them. Sincerely, [redacted] ***

So, while I have received all of my perks now, it wasn't of any thanks to your customer support Final Business Response / [redacted] (4000, 10, 2015/01/29) */ We appreciate this customer's reply and feedback on Indiegogo's Customer Support Indiegogo is unable to moderate contributor/campaigner disputesPer our Terms of Use, "we may provide the Campaign Owner's contact information to the Contributor so that the two parties may resolve their dispute." It was given this customer's claims of the campaign owner's unresponsiveness that we were able to share the campaign owner's personal contact information with this contributor All that said, we are happy to hear that this customer was able to resolve this matter with the appropriate party, the campaign owner, and has since received their perks

RevDex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I read everything Indiegogo had on their website concerning campaigns.

Initial Business Response / [redacted] (1000, 6, 2015/10/06) */ Indiegogo is a global crowdfunding platform that empowers people to raise funds for the things that matter to them. As the contributor states in their complaint, contributing to a campaign on Indiegogo is not the same thing as making a purchase... in a store. People can raise money for various things, and be at various stages of their project. Contributors are backing an idea, not purchasing a pre-made project. Like anyone contributing to an early-stage project, you accept the risk that the project might experience delays, changes to their original vision, or may not come to fruition. We have tips on how to evaluate a campaign in our Help Center: http://support.indiegogo.com/entries/XXXXXXXX-how-to-evaluate-a-campaign.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal / [redacted] (3000, 8, 2015/10/07) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) While Indiegogo makes it a point to give people a feeling of security by emphasizing the campaign managers are still responsible to provide perks even if goal isn't reached they don't use that same language to warn people that they will do nothing to ensure it happens. I feel this practice misleads people that visit their website into a false feeling of security and into believing there is some protection when clearly they accept payments and then take no responsibility at all. I will always believe that they simply took advantage of a 100% disabled veteran and intend to let the world know what happened to me. I plan to contact the media now. Final Business Response / [redacted] (4000, 11, 2015/10/25) */ We understand this customer has additional concerns on this matter. Indiegogo provides an open crowdfunding platform permitting funds to be raised for a wide range of projects in accordance with our Terms of Use (www.indiegogo.com/about/terms). Campaigns are run by their individual campaign owner's and not by Indiegogo. Indiegogo does not manage campaigns, nor does Indiegogo offer perks. Instead, all perks are offers made by Campaign Owners, and we recommend to any contributor who has questions about a campaign's offerings that make inquires of the campaign owner. People can raise money for various things, and be at various stages of their project. Contributors are backing an idea, not purchasing a pre-made project. Like anyone contributing to an early-stage project, you accept the risk that the project might not come to fruition. Again, Indiegogo does not make claims or verify that a "campaign owner will deliver perks or that contributions will be used as described on the campaign." The decision to contribute to any campaign is in the sole determination of the contributor and their evaluation of the campaign, not Indiegogo. We recommend that each contributor go through their own vetting process before they decide to contribute. We have compiled a list of how to evaluate a campaign, as a good starting point: https://support.indiegogo.com/hc/en-us/articles/XXXXXX-How-to-Evaluate-a-Campaig...⇄ Additionally, our Terms of Use (www.indiegogo.com/about/terms) outline the following: "Indiegogo is an online crowdfunding venue for people and entities seeking to raise funds for their own Campaigns and to contribute to the Campaigns of others. Campaign Owners can offer gifts or rewards in the form of tangible items or intangible services (collectively, "Perks") to Contributors. Perks are not offered for sale. Indiegogo makes no representations about the quality, safety, morality or legality of any Campaign, Perk or Contribution or the truth or accuracy of User Content (as defined below) posted on the Services. Indiegogo does not represent that Campaign Owners will deliver Perks or that Contributions will be used as described in the Campaign. Users use the Services at their own risk." In order to maintain the openness of our platform while protecting the security of our users, Indiegogo uses a proprietary fraud detection algorithm to quickly catch violations or unwanted behavior on our platform. We also rely on our team of Trust and Safety experts to review and verify activity on our platform and take the appropriate action. Finally, we have a fantastic community of users who let us know about suspicious or inappropriate behavior that helps us keep our platform secure. That said, we appreciate this customers thoughts on Indiegogo's position as an open platform. Indiegogo offers a space for innovation and discovery. Instead we provide a platform where people who are passionate [redacted] their ideas can connect with funders who believe in their vision. It's a core part of our ethos as a business and we vehemently stand by this belief. Our customers deserve the opportunity to fund ideas they believe in. The crowd is entitled to decide, eyes wide open, what concepts they want to have a part in trying to advance.

I contacted Indiegogo prior to them releasing funds to the campaign manager PER THEM and they still released funds though I had not received my "PERK" They can hide behind their well written legal jargon. I'm a DISABLED VET and saved for years to buy the "PERK" in question. They had tons of complaints about this campaign manager and there is over a DOZEN people in my same situation. Indiegogo says they released funds AFTER I COMPLAINED and offer ME NO PROTECTION. Their email states, " At this time, your contribution has not been added to the campaign and we have advised the campaign owner not to ship any perks" then, "Your Contribution is on its [redacted] to the Campaign! Thank You for Your Patience.

Then why put the ads on Indiegogo when no guarantee product in place? It is a scam because it did not show donation boxNor it was given any proof of banking transactions from Indiegogo to the campaignerThus, this website is scam any donors are deceived with even donationsYou know this website actually do not care about any deceiving campaignersWhy would this scam happen? I could use this website as well and use this to create campaign that is not even realBut the truth is, this company need to provide the revenue and warning of fake campaign before any transactionsThere title of this is clearA product name and the original description of the ads was all product detailsNo warning or confirmation of acknowledgement was done during the transactions of the purchaseWhat a shameThis is fake business with fake campaign but scam real money Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:Sincerely, [redacted] ***
