Hello,

This is a message from Kickstarter's Integrity team. We're writing to notify you that the Skarp Laser Razor project has been suspended, and your pledge has been canceled.

After requesting and reviewing additional material from the creator of the project, we've concluded that it is in violation of our rule requiring working prototypes of physical products that are offered as rewards. Accordingly, all funding has been stopped and backers will not be charged for their pledges. No further action is required on your part. Suspensions cannot be undone.

We take the integrity of the Kickstarter system very seriously. We only suspend projects when we find evidence that our rules are being violated.

Regards,
Kickstarter Integrity Team

The letter said that “the Skarp laser razor project has been suspended and your payment has been canceled.” It turned out that after requesting additional materials from the creators of the project and their subsequent consideration, the Kickstarter administration came to the conclusion that the project violates the rules requiring working prototypes of products. Further funding will be discontinued.

As it turned out, this is not the end of the story. The developers have previously placed the project on a more loyal platform Indiegogo . It is hoped that as many potential investors as possible will learn about the cunning developers and refuse to pay.
