Well was bored as SW:TOR servers were down and I had messed around with the usual now now now trolls on the forum.
So I decided to have a quick squint at /b/ haven't been there in a long time.. Until I saw a thread close to the top of the first page at that time, about this
LinkNow, from the information on the thread, Susan Wilson is a woman who scams people into giving her money for things that she has bought and sold for a profit.
Wait thats not so bad, thats just reselling right DAB?
Yeah normally, but she uses places like Kickstarter to say she is developing the product, but in essence she is buying stock from the Orient mostly at a reduced cost and reselling them to funders for close to twice the price.
That in anyones books is fraud.
So is the above fund raising attempt.
Now kickstarter doesn't allow attempts to gather funds for personal development or charities etc. And this "camp" is for personal development which in turn has a game being made at the end, which uses stock data provided by the RPG maker.
Don't get me wrong im thrilled that kids are getting interested in game development and story development also.
But when your mother is a millionaire through mostly scamming, and already paid for your camp and then starts a kickstarter trying to regain those funds plus extra, then it comes into borderland fraud. And not the right thing to teach your kids.
Whats more she will get a laptop with the extra money, which means her mother will keep the rest after that. It is total nonsense.
So please go there and sign in and report that this is bad, 2nd option from the list they give by the way, and be polite and factual. Explaining her mother has frauded people before. Like the Iphone 4/4s case she was developing which she was buying in bulk instead.
