URGENT!!!! Scam alert on Indiegogo that needs to be unraveled and suspended before campaign ends and con artists get the money. Let me first start by saying it is critical that any research and publication of personal information done with caution as we do not want to make mistakes and accuse innocent people who have the same name as those involved. Here it is..... Below is information on the Indiegogo Campaign titled, "Micro-phone. The Tiny Mobile device with a Big Idea." The link came across my email box and within 15 to 20 seconds I felt this was a scam so I investigated. Noticed that the same group attempted a previous indiegogo campaign just a couple weeks earlier with a completely different product. Convert2touch. This by itself is highly suspicious but not strong evidence. How many individuals have started a crowdfunding campaign, failed, then started a new campaign for an entirely different product, just two weeks later? First googled the names of the CEO, CTO and other employee. I found no social media accounts, websites, media articles, blogs, or any other evidence that Ethan Hunt, Jill Cleaver, or Yan Yan Li exist. Later, after discovering another website operated under the name Ethan Hunt, a Linkedin page was located with his name. There was no picture and 17 connections. Then their Youtube page (linked from the campaign site) was visited and it was noticed that the youtube account was in the name of Mike Kalinowski. A google search with this name and "Australia" was done. This turned up www.katanatrading.com. From there it was seen that Mr. Kalinowski operates another website called www.homepin.com. It was also determined Mr. Kalinowski operates under the username homepin and posts to multiple message boards on the topic of pinball machines. Also, his Facebook page was found: https://www.facebook.com/HomepinPinball It is firmly established that the person behind the homepin username is Mike Kalinowski as he uses this name, links people to his site
