Indiegogo LIES!

            Welcome back, My Dear Readers, to The Other Shoe.I am a fairly patient man, generally. However, I do not take well to being lied to, at all. Hang on, let me back up a bit. First; a deep and heartfelt “Thank you!” to all my funders. I would be in a terrible pickle if it were not for your kindness and support. Second; I have been reading a little about ‘crowd-funding’. I have discovered that I just might have made a heck of a lot more if I had used anyone but Indiegogo. Today, I found out WHY.

.

Today is August 30, 2013. According to the Indiegogo web site, my campaign’s page. The money was “distributed August 26^th, 2013” said so on the web page, said so in an email I have kept a copy of. However, it is the 30^th of August and neither myself or my bank have seen the money. I am pretty freaked out, I have to tell you.

.

First, I was totally planning on trying to move this weekend. Good thing I couldn’t find a place by now. See, this is the problem I have researched and found out about Indiegogo. They hang on to the money far too long, and make excuses. After lodging a complaint I get another email today saying that the FIRST email was a LIE.

.

They had the stones to send me an email telling me “your payment was triggered on the 29^th…” So, that makes every other statement, IN WIRITING a complete and total LIE, correct? Am I missing anything?

.

I live ‘hand-to-mouth’ in a poor’ish part of town. Me, and my life, have already ‘slipped though the cracks’ ENOUGH for several lifetimes.  Therefore, come Monday morning I am lodging a complaint against Indiegogo with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. I really do not take to being lied to at ALL.

.

Sorry to put a damper on everyone’s holiday…. If I have, at that. Just rubs me the wrong way when they are taking HUNDREDS of dollars and not keeping honest in the process.

.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday (it is Labor Day here in the States). Bloody hell if I know what that is all about anymore when people are getting paid $7.25 an hour or less. Labor, in America, right now = slavery plain and simple.  I have no problem talking  about that, what are they going to take from me? The rest of my health? ROFLMAO

.

As always, it is a great honor that you come here and read my words. I hope you have a very pleasant weekend..

.

Thank YOU!
