I've just completed a rather harsh video critique of a suspicious Indiegogo project called "Sonic Soak" -
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/soni ... e-travel#/

As mentioned in the video, this "crowdfunding" project's main video seems to be complete bunk. It has a story about two 'soak engineers' who invented this new way to wash clothes. When in fact what they are pitching is already a mature product and a device exactly the same as the one they're advertising is already a product on the market in China at a fraction of the price they're selling it at.

Here's some on TaoBao - https://www.taobao.com/list/product/%E8 ... %8F%8C.htm

(Note - because they've passed their original goal by 9000%+, the campaign is listed as "indemand" now, Indiegogo's further fundraising step, but they clearly are claiming they're crowdfunding, not just marketing an existing product).

Please help spread the word!

Some backers have started posting about this on their comments section and it looks like they're deleting them...

If you have to ask if it's a scam, then 100% without a doubt then its a scam. Thats how those things work, if you have to ask, then its suspicious and it means that it is a scam. It's quite simple.

Check out the comments section:

Over 200 people asking where their product is. They raised over a million dollars. Holy crap...

And of course Indiegogo does nothing to help the backers and their losses.
