Kickstarter takes no responsibility for scams. I complained a year ago directly to Kickstarter about a project that I spent hundreds of dollars on since 2016 that has gone AWOL and never delivered to any of their supporters. Just to make sure you know how useless Kickstarter is, their response to me was: "Thanks for reaching out. I'm sincerely sorry for any frustrations. When a project ends successfully, we collect all funds and disburse them directly to the creator so that they can get started on their creative idea. As such, Kickstarter is not able to facilitate refunds on behalf of a creator. If you'd like to check in with the creator to see if a refund may be possible, you should reach out to them directly. If you haven’t yet messaged the creator through Kickstarter, you can find the steps for how to do so in this help center article. It’s important to keep in mind that if the funds have already gone towards bringing the project to life, a refund may not be possible at this time. Please let us know if you have any other questions."
