>You should not get out of your house then. Meteorites keep bombarding the earth(they are falling right now!!). A king cobra could scape the zoo and reproduce(they store sperm) in the woods, don't go there.

Don't be a dick. Online fraud is a real risk, it happens to people every day. Most people know not to send money to some random stranger who emails you, only to buy from reputable sites, or at a minimum to make sure you can claim back your money from your credit card provider if you get scammed. Which scenario is kickstarter more like?

>It is really difficult that someone could not deliver something. If so hardworking then something is better than nothing.

It's pretty easy to fail to deliver, even if they've tried; there was a story here not so long ago about a kickstarter made an iphone case that turned out to block the signal.

>A con artist is not going to give their face in a video for all Internet to know

Why not? Plenty of 419 scammers do.

>a con artist have not a proven record

Nor do many legitimate kickstarters. It's not like ebay where they post the feedback score right at the top and anyone without a high rating is suspicious.
