Hi.
I will start by saying that i have absolute no proof or knowledge of any legally wrongdoing by anyone related to trainerbot!
Here is my concern:
I invested in trainerbot for a LONG time ago. Yesterday they postponed the shipment agaiin!! This time until november.
I am almost 100% sure that they will not deliver in november; since it has been the same procedure from day one.
They are silent and unrespinsive uptil their planned shipping-date, and then they release an update one or to days before planned shipment with a very long, detailed and well produced "production update" were the change of delivery-day is at the buttom - of this very very long - and very professionally made, update. This has been going on for far over a year now.
Every time they talk about some new crazy problem with some technical stuff or some sub-deliver-contractor that has made a mistak; and that they are now SUPER-DUPER optimistic, and bla bla bla; and that they will deliver on this new date; usually 3 month from now.
Meanwhile new backers are signing up; not many now; but still maybe 6-7 pr. month; each paying $479 which gives them almost $3000/month.
Not a lot of money; but at this point they have raised $258,898 on kickstarter (can no loonger sign up there) and $438,834 on indiegogo (where the funding is moved to, when period on kickstarter expired, last year).
Thats is a total of: $697,732 + app. $3000 pr. month gooing forward. That is a lot of money!!
So, i am getting the creapy feeling that this might be a total scam; and that the only thing they are producing are the flashy videos update; to keep generating this income.
I know it seems silly and paranoid; but i just can't shake the feeling.
Again, i am not accusing anyone AND i have NO proof or knowledge of any kind - BUT i only see 3 possible explainations of their behaviour so far.
1. The are for real; have had a lot of bad luck/underestimated the project; and are now working day and night on producing and shipping; and it is realistic.
2. They had the best intentions from they start; but somewere down the line they realized they couldn't do it; but then they were in to deep. Now they are either milking it (new backers) for own profit or to desperately pay of their creditors.
3. Extremly well planned scam from the start.
Therefore, it would easy my mind tremendously, if a (preferrably) well known poster here, new something about the guys behind trainerbot; and could share some thoughts on it.
