Luckily it is already canceled, if not I will be the one who get con.

@Josh excellent tip! I never knew I can do that! Just tried and it works great!
Creator Josh Robinson on April 17, 2012
Just a tip. If you have a doubt next time, right click on the picture and copy it then you can go to google images, click on the camera icon in the search bar and search for that picture or similar ones. It won't work every time I'm sure, but it works with this one and the other one they did.
Creator James Reiter on April 17, 2012
Yes, you can see from all of the other products the fake users backed, it is a scam. Everyone be careful.
Creator Kelvin Tong on April 17, 2012
What a scam...haiz...
Creator Nick Tison on April 17, 2012
All the failed projects that "they' backed are from Philadelphia, PA. Coincidence?
Creator Nick Tison on April 17, 2012
Ok "Julie " why don't you post a link to that and your blog? Why aren't you mad? Are you sure you are just Julie or are you Mat or Shannon too?
Creator Josh Robinson on April 17, 2012
I find it funny you're still trying to defend it when the pictures are taken right there from the hearing aid site. Also, Shannon can be a guy's name too. But you two obviously know each other so I'll take your work on that point at least.
Creator Julie Barbin on April 17, 2012
@Josh, the invention was on engadget about a month ago and I was really interested so I contacted him directly. Lots of hate here though haha oh well
Creator Julie Barbin on April 17, 2012
lmao I'm pretty sure Shannon isn't a dude
Creator Nick Tison on April 17, 2012
Oh well, I guess it was a fraud I'll move on with my life now.

Look familiar?
Creator Nick Tison on April 17, 2012
It almost looks like this hearing aid at this website http://www.sandiahearingaids.net/products.asp.
(at bottom right)
WTF
Creator Josh Robinson on April 17, 2012
Maybe shannon was the one in the video lol
Creator Nick Tison on April 17, 2012
Mat (first comment) also backed the same projects as Julie and Shannon and was created on the same day.... Febuary 7 2012. Something was going on here.
Creator Josh Robinson on April 17, 2012
Yeah i already saw that. Julie was backer #1 too
Creator Nick Tison on April 17, 2012
Look Julie and Shannon created their accounts on the same day, a coincidence, I don't think so. I'm suspicious.
Creator Mika on April 17, 2012
Oh and the website address that was mentioned for this project in the description, is still available for anyone to register. A real project/company would register that one before announcing it so no one else could take it.
Creator Mika on April 17, 2012
Looks like both Julie and Shannon backed the same exact three projects earlier which were another bluetooth earbud project and a clothing project that was first cancelled but later managed to get funded. And when you look at the other backers on this project, you can see those same three pop up again and again. There really was something going on here. Let's just hope that the one clothing project that got funded wasn't a scam too... I have to say it doesn't look good though since a lot of the backers there also backed the earlier bluetooth earbud project or are first time backers...
Creator Chris Growcock on April 17, 2012
If you look at a few of the profiles of people here in the comments, you'll see a few who have backed a couple other cancelled projects and nothing else. I'd bet this is some sort of ongoing scam.
Creator Josh Robinson on April 17, 2012
@ julie How did you email last week about testing when it was put up less than 24 hrs ago?
Creator Nick Tison on April 17, 2012
I thought it was too good to be true as well.....
Creator Julie Barbin on April 17, 2012
Thats total bullshit. I emailed him last week asking if I could test the product for my blog site and he sent it and it worked amazing, just like he said. I despise Kickstarter now and will never use it again, nor will my thousands of daily blog users after the post I'll write tonight
Creator Shannon Sharp on April 17, 2012
I got that email too. This happened before to my another project i backed. Apparently Kickstarter has the ability to delete any project it wants to despite an 88 person following. I hope they know I'm done with the site rockethub.com here i come
Creator Josh Robinson on April 17, 2012
Maybe kickstarter suspected it was a fraud. The entire account is deleted. I kinda had my doubts. It seemed a little too good to be true. but i figured i had a month and a half to decide.
Creator David on April 17, 2012
I hope it wasn't a "Cease and desist" order.
Creator Jeff Kuhlmeier on April 17, 2012
I doubt we'll get and explanation seeing as he deleted his account.
Creator Matt on April 17, 2012
I just received an email, "Kickstarter has canceled the funding on this project, as well as the users profile. We did this because Kickstarter felt that this project did not represent the Kickstarter community. If you feel otherwise, please send us a personal message."
fucking kickstarter dude. I was mad excited for this
Creator Jeff Kuhlmeier on April 17, 2012
I'm with Paul on this one, I wish we had an explanation to go along with this cancellation.
Creator Jernej Oset on April 17, 2012
Why was this cancelled?
Creator Paul Glover on April 17, 2012
Why was this deleted?
Creator Jeff Kuhlmeier on April 17, 2012
The FAQ's were just updated with answers to those questions answered just in case anyone is curious about them.
Creator Matt on April 17, 2012
Yong-Soo Chung: Send them a message, they're not gonna answer in the comment area.
Creator James Reiter on April 17, 2012
Perfect device to go with my Pebble.
Creator Y. Chung on April 17, 2012
A few questions I have. What's the sound quality? What's the range for these? And are these harmful to use (bluetooth headsets in general)?
Thanks
Creator Vince on April 17, 2012
I would like a microphone with mine!!
Creator Shannon Sharp on April 17, 2012
True dat. haha the beginning of the vid reminds me of myself.
Creator Matt on April 17, 2012
its about damn time this was made.
