Kickstarter kicks out ‘Encik Farhan’ over scam pledges


PETALING JAYA: The crowd-funding initiative Kickstarter and its partner company, Amazon Payments, have kicked out a certain “Encik Farhan” – after receiving allegations that this man cheated about 100 project creators of goods and money.

In a statement, Kickstarter said the company had shut down the account of Encik Farhan – purportedly a Malaysian – after it and its US-based payment processor, Amazon Payments, were alerted to a series of malicious pledges by a single individual.
