what's going on with Amiga.net.pl - Page 2

ItsTheSmell · 29 June 2021, 19:04

I think you'll get some of it back.

stylon · 05 July 2021, 17:04

Seem's he's really determined to drag this out as long as possible. Only refunded me half of what I'm owed. Seems to be following a similar pattern to your story. Have contacted him yet again... poor show indeed.

ItsTheSmell · 05 July 2021, 17:28

My mind is made up, the guys a crook. Im never going there again.

stylon · 06 November 2021, 10:20

The website has completely ******* disappeared now. I did a google search and found his Facebook pages which all seem to have been removed too. I never did get my full refund - still owed a boxed version of DOpus which he kept promising was due to be published 'soon'.

You were spot on - what a ******* shyster

Sorry to hear you lost money with the too, I never received my book and game, no reply to my e-mails and now it seems they have completely gone. I hate to think of how much money I have lost on Amiga scams

ItsTheSmell · 08 November 2021, 08:25

Who else has ripped you off?

Sad times when people are doing this to us. It spoils it for everyone.

amifan · 08 November 2021, 08:27

Yeah, haha well just last month I paid for a Taiphun 1230 on this board but the seller took the money and ran.

It is over 6 years since the project "Tel me more" became through "Tel me at least something" to "Rather don't tel anything more". Even more sad that the 27 thousands USD scam came from once higly respected scene celebrity

What's this all about? I've not heard of any of what you said.

Predseda · 08 November 2021, 13:17

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/j...akes#/comments but I suppose it is off-topic in this thread.

ItsTheSmell · 08 November 2021, 14:39

Poor forme indeed. It looks like it didn't make its 28 grand target, so isn't it more than likely to not get made?

Target was 38911 (obvious number, he comes from C64), but he chosen to accept the money even if the target is not met. Then he delivered few demos of his songs (that were already published elsewhere before) then stopped communication. Like this amiga.net / bitronic. Traited 700 backers.

And indiegogo allows this sort of thing? Its wide open to abuse/fraud.

Seems so. Indiegogo probably has the worst regulations/rules when it comes to crowdfunding.

forgot about this old thread, and the fact the jeroen tel indiegogo project was officially scrapped/closed feb'22, no refund, nothing released etc, no official comment.

RIP - Music Scam (2015-2022)

Wow, never heard of this one. Guy seems like a class A prick.

What's even more amazing that some people have still believed in his con, despite it dragging on for seven years.

Predseda · 21 March 2022, 17:01

Awesome musician, but pathetic person Jeroen Tel is. I also backed his scam.

I also backed this in 2015... Whew, that was a long time ago. For a while he was releasing remixes, then he went silent for a long time and I lost interest.
This is not the first time something similar happened, so I'm starting to be skeptical of crowdfunding. Steam has the same problem with early access, where you pay for being a beta tester for a product that may not even get finished. I don't think I'm going to preorder ever again. If I spend my money, I'll just spend it on something that's already finished/available.

ItsTheSmell · 18 April 2022, 13:35

Its not like you get it cheaper for backing it either. The released item is typically the same price.

Wow, so what you're all saying is that he took the money and ran without a single refund given?
