Gofundsystem aka Milton Gregg is scamming Indiegogo campaigns

GOFUNDSYSTEM is a scam! I was stupid enough to order their package for my indiegogo campaign. They are very friendly in 'helping' out, but deliver a terrible service once you pay them ($297). I asked for my money back as soon I noticed that they are a scam, of course no answer anymore. So I did some research: If you have any doubt, do a reverse image search on the picture of their CEO Milton Gregg. A picture labelled as Milton Gregg at MIT in 2009 is actually a picture of Felipe Spinel, a Boston university graduate - Here is a link to the article where the picture was originally published: http://blogs.wgbh.org/.../6/18/visa-international-student/ If you are still not convinced, all the people listed under the testimonials page are not who gofundsystem claim they are - if you reverse image search each one you'll find the names and information doesn't add up. Gofundsystem only works on IndieGoGo projects because they know the secret to the GoGo Factor, right? Well, most of the people in the testimonials run campaigns on Kickstarter, NOT IndieGoGo! They claim to be in the market since 2009, but the domain is only registered since 10/2015. The picture they say is of a man named Cody M, is actually Conor Barry; here is the article where the picture was originally used: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/.../Incredible-iPhone-gadget... and here is his crowdfuding campaign on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/119627****/mogees If you're STILL not convinced, the last piece of evidence is the testimonial video - The man who calls himself John is an actor who specializes in testimonial videos. The following link will lead you to the actors Fiverr page which states "I will make A NATURAL Testimonial Video": https://www.fiverr.com/.../make-a-natural-testimonial-video Stay far away from this scam!

Thanks for this! Weirdly, this Milton person showed up under my suggested connections on Linkedin...what a surprise when I saw my own photo in his profile!

Since they have been outed they have changed their names and are coming at people from a new angle. Milton Gregg is now Milton Craig, and Gofundsystem is now SmartBoostSystem.

These guys are *** bags. Do not give them a penny of your money.

Did you find any site or organization that DID help?

Yes! First: claim your money back at the bank.

Add all the information about the scammers! I got my money back this way. And when they get to many refunds, their payment service will close them down.

A bit of a sweet revenge, right? :)

Secondly: BBB.org (Better Business Bureau), ripoffreport and this site to help others.
