There have been a lot of angry comments about this campaign. It doesn't seem like Kickstarter has officially responded yet.

"All, I backed out of this project hoping that by now it would have been closed or Vak would have come up with something but this is f***ing unbelievable.
I have reported multiple times to KS but no action, I just sent a mail to websites like Verge, CNET, etc..lets see.
I can see many backers are NEW, if they really genuine I would like you to take the right decision and quit this and Save your money !!
TO ALL OTHER BACKERS who reported this, could you please change your pledge level to 1 dollar please !!! "

Article that was published about this campaign: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/201312 ... hina.shtml

"It appears that something similar is happening with the so-called Rock Smartwatch, which launched with a bit of hype, including some odd claims such as that the watch had 1080p resolution (huh? on a watch?!?) and 4GB of RAM. Some folks quickly pointed out that the watch appeared to be nothing more than a rebranded Z3 watch from China. There was a fair bit of evidence to support this. The creator of the project, "Vak Sambath" first started claiming that he was devastated and suggesting that their manufacturing partner had somehow leaked or made different versions of their work."

Hip hip hurray. Caught and STOPPED. Nice work guys.

I suspect he is off to Indiegogo now to have a go at hoodwinking contributors over there.

Its nice that they keep track of scams and don't allow it
