Take everything at face value. Say they have nothing but some Jag shells, cardboard, random components and a lot of pie in the sky statements with nothing to back them up. Let's say the everyone behind this is out to scam money.

How exactly would that happen? The Indigogo campaign didn't result in them gaining one penny, right? With Kickstarter, if they don't deliver on what people invest in can't the investors cry foul and get their money back?
I could be wrong, and I usually am. But I believe that on KS, if you don't reach your goal, then you simply don't get paid. But in IGogo you get whatever you raise regardless if you hit your goal amount. But, as stardust4ever mentioned, that still doesn't mean they will come thru with said product.
