Smart Crowd Funding - Crowdfunders.us - Shane Liddell AKA Spectikon Corporation, Smart Crowdfunding LLC Shane Liddell is a complete scammer. His company Smart Crowd Funding, crowdfunders.us did nothing to help me.
Shane Liddell contacted me through Indiegogo and offered to help promote my crowdfunding project. He said that crowdfunders.us and Smart Crowdfunding would help me get press coverage adn that he would help me with social media promotion.
All of his twitter followers turned out to be fake according to TwitterAudit.com. I did not get any press coverage. He also promosied to get my project to the first page of Indiegogo. That did not happen either. Smart Crowd made a lot of promises and did nothing to help. The basically stole $400 from you.
I di some research on Liddell and his company Spectikon Corporation. They tried to crowdfund for a project http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/retrievor-the-complete-gps-tracking-retrieving-solution
The didn't even get to 2% of their funding goal. This guy is supposed to be a crowdfunding expert?
Stay away from Shane Liddell, Smart CrowdFunding and crowdfunders.us
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
This crowd should be ashamed of themselves Retrievor has produced zero proof of a concept of even any type of prototype. They should all be hung drawn and quartered for cheating, lying and scamming. If you have a prototype where is it? Why not show us? You are as guilty as Ethan Hunt of deceiving people he produced nothing, shipped nothing and ran off with the money. I think Ethan Hunt is in fact Shane Liddell and he has just scammed another group of innocent contributors of their money because there is no Retrievor, no Micro-Phone and no one with the real name Ethan Hunt its all a con and he has been found out.
This Smart Crowd Funding is proving very unprofessional service. I got a feeling that they don't care about customers, they don't even get information right to their press releases and after I corrected it, they passed the uncorrected version forward. I don't think they have got almost no one even to look at my crowd funding campaign. They make mistakes and blame me of their own mistakes. I don't recommend this Smart crowd funding at all.
Instead of attempting to point the finger elsewhere in an act of denial, it would certainly be best if you accept the faqct that ultimately the crowd decided that your campaign/product was not something they were interested in. The sooner you accept this the better.
Anyone with a little bit of business understanding willrealise that you cannot satisfy 100% of your customers 100% of the time. Yes, we do have a few that are unhappy, but for the reasons mentioned below, we cannot be held responsible for campaigns that fail:
The success of a campaign is dependent on several factors of which the 'crowd' decides if the project is worth backing. We drive traffic to the campaign, increase it's visibility through marketing activity and by making sure the project is fully exposed. The rest is up to the project content to sell the product or service. We use our contacts to increase your chances of being successful. Our Premier Plan guarantees you front page exposure for your project which relates to thousands of views from general Indiegogo website visitors!
if we could 100% guarantee the success of projects, we'd certainly change our business model to one which solely created crowdfunding projects of our own.
You also gave reference in your original posting to a crowdfunding campaign which raised less than 2% of it's funding. You are correct but it's clear to see that you didn't do your research correctly. Personally, I have operated several crowdfunding campaigns over the past 3 years. Some of which failed and some of which were successful. In fact here is a campaign I ran last October and it raised over 200% of the funding goal:

Anyone is welcome to contact them to ask them about our services. In fact some of them are the testimonials we use on our website
I think that considering your obvious intent and the supporting evidence I have provided, people will make their own minds up and decide if what you have claimed is nothing but a feeble attempt to deflect blame instead of taking responsibility for your own failure!
