I backed a project from Watermelon games called Paprium which was supposed to be a fund raise for Watermelon games to port Paprium to the consales. I ordered 3 collectors editions and a specialized joystick. Fast forward a year later past the deadline which was at December 2022 I still never received it. I tried disputing the charge, but Kickstarter "validated" it while pretending they are a "legitimate" business. Worse is that a tweet was made on December 25th which I never noticed at the time, but a backer on Facebook saved it prior to the tweet being deleted. It showed that the developers were admitting to their backers that the project was a scam(see photos for details). This site should be seized by the FBI.

Tip for consumers:
This site and it's owner belong in prison. Now

Products used:
None. I never received what I ordered!

On January 14th I bought 4 spy cameras and 5 Samsung SD carts from a United Arab Emirates website called Desert Cart. All together the stuff cost me 216.00, but while the 5 micro SD carts worked, the Spy cameras I bought didn't have a functioning scan code needed to activate them costing me 135.04 dollars for all four cameras that won't work.

I've attempted to ask for a refund for the spy cameras, but sadly, the website insisted on having someone pick up the things personally. I waited weeks and to no avail. Upon giving up hope that anyone would come and knowing that no one has come to pick them up, I had ask for a transaction dispute on February 25th and temporarily I got my money back. Then on March 20th I my refund has been reverse and I now owe 135.04 dollars despite evidence that no one is coming to pick these things up.

I spent the next couple months contacting and pressurizing customer service and finally I reached an agreement with them to ship the items back, yet when they arrived at their destination they still refused to give my money back because my credit card number had been changed due to a suspicious charge that forced me to get a new credit number which may or may not be connected with this site. Yet they refused to let me give them a new credit card number and not only refused to give my money back in any way, but the site won't ever let me put in a new credit card number indicating that they are trying to cover everything up. This doesn't stoop them from sending suspcious spam mail to may Email address from time to time.

Tip for consumers:
Steer clear!

I've attempted to ask for a refund for the spy cameras, but sadly, the website insisted on having someone pick up the things personally. I waited weeks and to no avail. It's been over 2 months since I bought these things and no one has come to pick them up. In fact had ask for a transaction dispute on February 25th and temporarily I got my money back. Now on March 20th I my refund has been reverse and I now owe 135.04 dollars despite evidence that no one is coming to pick these things up.

Tip for consumers:
Stick with ebay
