    FRAUD WATCH Jiffylight

    by mbg11 » Mon Feb 16, 2015 6:37 am

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ji ... escription

    Really really cool idea. Fill water up in a flashlight that is run solely by the water in the flash light.

    issues:

    1.) zero explanation or history on the product.
    2.) A very simple story and 10 second product exhibition with home camera. No additional photo's available.
    3.) The creator states it was created by a couple of college students. The creator's Facebook page is directly connected to his profile with ZERO SECURITY SETTINGS. He is a criminal science major and his girl friend who has equally dismal settings has stated it is a company started by her, her boyfriend, and her family. Additionally, the lack of professionalism shown on his Facebook page screams that he would be incompetent with any financing. Very little professional photo's, almost all are college themed/party. If you created such a product you would think it would have been your whole life, you would have nonstop photo's of conventions.
    4.) Zero history of product on Google search.. no company website. each crowd sourcing site has identical lack of information available.

    Anyone agree/disagree? I have kindly asked him for further explanation on the questions. It is important that if he doesn't answer said questions that he is reported, because he already hit the 100% needed he will be on every search in technology for popularity. This hurts all projects on kickstarter if it is a scam.

    Sure enough after a 2 minute google search... o kids these days...

    It's probably a scam man, save your money on something you feel better about.

    I've ran quite a few campaigns, and I think you are a fool for automatically saying any company who emails you is a fraud. Even Peak Design did a video about how they use tons of services that email them.
