> IndieGoGo is a haven for scammers. They have absolutely no interest in protecting you. Even if you point out that the scammer is actively scamming currently, they won't do anything.

They actually do protect their backers better than Kickstarter sometimes:

this ongoing scam on Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stillalive/polygons-the...

the same project was actually closed by Indiegogo as the creator is a notorious scammer:

Kickstater doesn't protect anybody at all. Kickstarter doesn't get involved in anyway after funds change hands and they take their cut.

It's a shame that's a scam, it's actually kind of a cool idea.
