Kickstarter Identity theft

Former Member

A post warning others of what I found just an hour ago.

 

I had a project hosted on Indiegogo of a case for the raspberry pi.

 

I have just found all my material on Kickstarters website hosted by a user pretending to be me. He claims he is from the Uk, and is taking money under my name. He even has my videos linked.

 

Due to the seriousness of this, and the fact that it is identity theft I intend making this viral. This could have serious impact to my name and career should the hacker fund the project, and do a run with the funds.

 

The project name is Raspberry Slice - it can be found archived on the Indiegogo website, and is now currently funding on Kickstarter!!!!

 

I have posted about it on Kickstarters Facebook page, and also reported it on their site.

 

This is really, really, not good enough and scary when you think about it. Their screening is obviously terrible, as is their user checks.

  • It's absurd to steal someone's identity in which some people pretends to be someone else by assuming that person's identity, typically in order to access resources or obtain credit and other benefits in that person's name.The victim can suffer adverse consequences if they are held accountable for the perpetrator's actions. If you are concerned about tax reimbursement burglary, you have good reason to be. It is not terribly uncommon. Learning the best way to fight back against tax refund theft means keeping your personal financial information safe. Here are some ways you can make that take place. It will take a huge installment loan to pay for legal fees while getting everything straightened out.
