Martini Playing Cards KS = Scam?!?

[jerichoholic]

Didn't see this posted but I just made a discovery about the creator of this project, which is Brandon Kirk, who was also behind Quad City Cards and scammed backers with his Celtic Knot playing cards, buyer beware for sure! Also should point out that he had a third account under his name that he deleted which usually isn't for good reasons.

Want a huge red flag? GaMeCo doesn't make custom decks, never has, and as far as I know they only exist in Australia at this point. Try googling GaMeCo playing cards...

Yea its the same Brandon Kirk that stole $4.059.00 US from backers with the celtic knot campaign.

How kickstarter allows this to happen is beyond me. He should have his name flagged, nevermind whatever cockamamie company name he comes up with to try to scam people.

[jerichoholic]

It's Gemaco not Gameco, and while they may not have made any custom decks recently they have in the past, though certainly nothing through Kickstarter.

Did you guys report him to kickstarter?

[jerichoholic]

I did

[Mike Ratledge]

I did

Yes I did.

Sorry, mistyped. GEorge MAxxxxx COmpany, later GeMaCo. (don't remember the last name) There IS a GameCo - obviously different.

[Fes]

Yea, reported him. This community is too small for him to try getting away with this.

It was just cancelled two minutes ago.

Nice work Vic!

[jerichoholic]

No problem, as soon as I saw the name I realized it was on my scammers list, not that I backed any of his projects myself.

Gosh Darn It! and these are such beautiful cards as well... I was in for a brick!!!

Nice catch Victor!

Victor is the hero UC deserves. Not the one we always need.

We berate him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a boisterous guardian, a watchful fanatic. A Deck Knight.

EDIT- No longer on Indiegogo as of today, either he was found out or he pulled the plug. It is awful that scammers like this continue to fraud. It puts a bad name on all of us crowdfunders, and by selective scamming he makes investors more wary about donating to the legit small companies. /end rant
