  @ Ip, Ting Pong, go find the guy. Complain at the police station so he is listed and will be questioned at your coutries border.
4. Creator Ip, Ting Pong on January 26
  
  Doh! I cannot file a complaint at Amazon Payments to get my refund. It states that I always passed 105 days of the transaction...
  
  Anyone knows how can it be settled? Thanks.
5. Creator Michael Rachid on January 25
  
  I also never got the product. What a shame.
6. Creator W. Laging on January 23
  
  @Ariel. Need help for shipment or maintaining the backer adresses? I learned that crooks keep coming back at the place/problems!

  Ariel Shtul, those actions of yours denigrate the dignity of the Yad Binyamin, People of Israel.
  Or you are not Israeli. Shame on you.

  lets start a kickstarter campagne to find ariel and...
9. Creator Theo Black on January 5
  
  I backed this and never got one.
10. Creator W. Laging on December 30
  
  He Ariel. Back again today. Why, with what intention. Are you going to send the iPlifier? I wonder, I have seen people like you.

  I could care less about my pledge money, but as a frequent KS backer and now successful project creator, poorly run projects like this continue to taint KS and crowd funding in general with stories of scams and inept project management. The only solace I take is that the creators' reputations are shot. Someone should make a website documenting badly run projects and identify creators so if they ever attempt to create new - or in some cases, relaunch - crappy projects on KS or another crowd funding site, the public can easily find their names and avoid supporting them.

  IMPORTANT:
  It appears that the product has not been produced or sent, and the developer has likely taken our cash and run as such I'd recommend that we contact the guy directly and ask for some answers

  People, have you write to Kick?
  If no, please write them about ir, I have done it.
14. Creator Dragan Sebisanovic on November 25
  
  To put a somewhat positive spin on this situation, I wish to believe there was somebody else who made this before Ariel ( I could swear I saw it advertised even for iPhone 4 ). They went after him legally when he attempted to bring this product to market and not only got cease and desist but also some kind of gag order against him.
  So let's all say bye-bye to our 8-10 bucks and continue on with our lives.
  How about that, now?
15. Creator W. Laging on November 15
  
  Kate yes.That happend to me to.
  Ken he indeed checks in regularly. Nov 12th and 13th.
16. Creator Kate Clark on November 14
  
  I did contact Wired and let them know. They apologized in an email and offered to post a retraction, but I haven't seen it. I'm just one person.
17. Creator Ken on November 13
  
  I would be interested to know this as well. As everyone knows the aforementioned douche (Ariel) continues to check in here on regular basis. I imagine that he gets some sort of perverse pleasure in reading our comments his deceitful behavior.
18. Creator W. Laging on November 12
  
  Good point Kate. And have you contacted any of these websites of blogs. And with what result?
19. Creator Ken on November 11
  
  Excellent points Kate!
20. Creator Kate Clark on November 8
  
  On Kickstarter I really believe it's all about "backer beware". It's a risk you take when you back someone's project. Ariel received so much press and publicity from so many techy websites and blogs. I'm surprised that no one has googled the iPlifier and contacted all the people and organizations that helped to promote him and his project. I originally found out about this project on Wired. Contacting police will NOT help you. Contacting all the folks who helped promote this fraudulent Kickstarter project will. It will help bring awareness and make people think twice before they back a project or help to promote one.
21. Creator W. Laging on November 8
  
  Hi Ariel. Wondering why I didn't comment on your peaking on November 3th? And you peaked on November 6th. Wel today I am preparing your case to file it to the Dutch police. I think your name should be listed there. Your facebook friends are walking away. Wonder why?
22. Creator Maxim Smirnov on November 7
  
  Hi! Still did not get my order!
  Are you alive?
23. Creator Ken on October 24
  
  Please read Evan's last comment. There won't be any iPlifiers.
  
  Ariel Shtul is deceitful and unscrupulous douche. And yes, Kickstarter won't do anything about it.
24. Creator W. Laging on October 22
  
  Today the 22nd of October. So coming back today Ariel to do what? Making excuses? Saying nothind but enjoying yourself? Today it is more than six months ago when the funding period succesfully ended. And you, You have done nothing. You just took off with the money.
25. Creator Evan on October 20
  
  @ Jarrett & rob - there won't be any iPlifiers, Ariel took off with our money and Kickstarter won't do anything about it.
26. Creator Jarrett Lampley on October 19
  
  No iPlifier and the last update was months ago. What is this.
27. Creator Jarrett Lampley on October 19
  
  No iPlifier and the last update was months ago. What is this.
28. Creator rob on October 15
  
  where is my iplifier. i have paid!!!
29. Creator W. Laging on October 10
  
  @Debi Prince. The guy logged in today 10-10. Ok but muy guess is that you or we (the backers) will never receive a iPlifier from Ariel. Wel he come back to the site now and the but there is no more to that.
30. Creator Debi Prince on October 8
  
  We were all supposed to receive an iPlifier in May 2013… it's now October 2013. Where is my product
31. Creator W. Laging on September 29
  
  @Ariel. These days you must have received the: FORM 1: An affordable, professional 3D printer. Will you be using it to print our iplifiers? That is a task with many ours to go. It is easier to use the mold oyu were speaking of in april and may 2013. Make sure Ariel you stil have our adresses for shipping.
32. Creator Nelson Tan on September 23
  
  cant believe he bailed.
33. Creator Alexander Frick on September 23
  
  Here's hoping that there are some disgruntled backers that manage to get a hold of him in Atlanta, or that he ends up in a car crash, or breaks his teeth against the stairs after having slipped on a cold winter day... May you be punished, one way or another. People like you disgust me.
34. Creator W. Laging on September 22
  
  Ariel, back again today. Are you having difficulties with shipping many of us are eager to you help.
35. Creator Chris Becke on September 20
  
  Ariel come back, pls!
36. Creator W. Laging on September 20
  
  Ariel still thinking to finish this project? Or are you just curious to read what has happend on the 19th of sept. Well are you not able to start a good debate. Here I have a good opening line for you. Dear KS fellows I am back form ........ and start sending you you iPlifiers. Wel that would be the good news.
  Well Ariel how about that!
37. Creator W. Laging on September 18
  
  Still coming back Ariel. the 17th and the 18th, why. Are you enjoying this, and still avoiding a good debate?
38. Creator Ken on September 17
  
  Yes indeed he is often online as presumably checking....
  
  It is probably his perverted way of getting gratification from his awful and unethical behavior...
39. Creator Chris Becke on September 15
  
  He was online!!! 10.09.13!!!
40. Creator Ken on September 14
  
  Thomas Bischof you might want to read the rest of the comments posted below. In short, there will be no shipments for this product as this guy has ripped us off.
41. Creator Carlos Zepeda on September 13
  
  @ken good idea
42. Creator Thomas Bischof on September 13
  
  When starts the shipping?
43. Creator Wayne Swindlehurst on September 13
  
  $8576.00 hum not bad for flapping your jaws and telling a few lies. So what did you buy with your windfall, new car, living room furniture set. Maybe you should think of funeral planning for the next time you decide to defraud a group of innocent individuals because you can't get away with robbing people all the time. Dick wad.
44. Creator Ken on September 12
  
  Well Israel doesn't really have much to do with the fact that this guy is a total douche. As far as PayPal is concern I suggest getting a PayPal debit card. Better protections that way.
45. Creator Carlos Zepeda on September 12
  
  All Ariel did was give Israel a bad taste in our mouths, no offense as I have nothing against them, but this dude doesn't deserve shit in life.
46. Creator W. Laging on September 11
  
  Back again Ariel Shtul. What is the purpose of your visit to this site this time?
  Curisosity, guilt, wanting to give us an explanation or are you planning to ship the iplifier to us.
  
  You write "I like to play around with new ideas and have a good debate about... well, basically everything".
  
  Well then lets start that good debate. And I am not going to talk about your holidays.
47. Creator Tyler on September 10
  
  I've been ripped off 3 times now, and kickstarter is the last place I want to buy anything anymore.
  
  I bought an iPhone case that was supposedly a protective case, and my iPhone shattered.... Never received this, the Magic Wallet came in terrible quality.
  
  I'm sick of kickstarter and wont be funding projects anymore, as it seems I am taking a ginormous risk with giving these people my money.
48. Creator Kennedy Tran on September 10
  
  Kickstarter is something I will never use again. PayPal should be the only method of payment, not amazon. At least they protect us.
49. Creator Marco Poppe on September 10
  
  Dammit....as i understand we're ripped....it's not a big amount but it lowered my confidence in Kickstarter and Crowd sourcing as a whole. I hope Kickstarter investigates this and refund us even though they probably cleared themselves from any responsibility in their term of use.
50. Creator Steven Baptiste on September 8, 2013
  
  I always read the product name as 'iPilfer', which actually seems to fit.....
