had a similar experience with the Gamestick on kickstarter. unfortunately, kickstarter basically put their hands up and say "welp, you're on your own". after emailing them constantly, they eventually agreed to send me the item in question (the rewards had shipped except for about 1% of them, and I was in the 1% that didn't ship for whatever reason), but that was about a year after the rewards originally should have shipped.

there is at least 1 example of action being taken [1] against a dodgy project though. Im not sure of the details, but I think it consisted of coordinated effort from a lot of the backers.
