Weird Kickbooster tracking, scam?
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2019 10:18 pm
Hi,
My campaign is setup with Kickbooster.me and I have a few people that created booster links. One booster link in particular has somehow managed to bring in tons of pledges and clicks but I can't seem to find where they posted their link (anywhere on the web).
So I did a test, I got a friend to pledge $1 to my campaign using my own computer and not clicking on that booster link. Lo and behold, a few minutes later, I see that Kickbooster.me registered that pledge through that booster link.
So now I'm wondering if I'm being taken advantage with this specific booster link somehow. Because it brought in tons of pledges, I am on the hook for a few thousand dollars if the campaign succeeds but I'm not sure if that was all due to the boosted link or not. Seems highly suspicious.
FYI, the boosted link is from someone at www.bestofkickstarter.com. They seem to have a "newsletter" but no mention of where to sign up.
