Worst Kickstarter I've backed
The worst project on Kickstarter I've backed is
"Walking Through Antarctica" by Kevin Seaman
No responses, posts, or contact of any kind and no refund or completed project.
A more in-depth account. Wordy but includes tips on what to look for when backing Kickstarter projects. Research and back out and report if it looks suspicious.
I've luckily had overwhelmingly positive experiences on Kickstarter (and I've backed a lot of projects), so this sticks out like a sore thumb. Thank goodness it wasn't much money.
Update: My money has been refunded by PayPal payments yesterday after a two month wait after initial contact to request a refund. Full story on my kickscammed.com post and tumblr entry. I tracked the project creator down on twitter and FB on February 12th. After multiple tweets, messages, and many excuses from the creator (dragged on for two months), I was finally refunded on April 14th.
Needless to say, I'll be more careful with pledging on Kickstarter from now on.
