Stage 14
Dear Backers, we are being attacked!

Dear backer, be careful, we are under attack!

I feel involved only as the embodiment of reporting. the writing is of divine source and plain for all to see right through.

"Those rivaling dumbs are trying to prove that this isn't a prototype at all."

its just gold upon gold

Comedy gold.

Ok, so someone made a comment on the PGS KS with links to posts on Dingoonity showing Alan Williams as being Kostas Volav, with photos of him on set of the PGS ad shoot. Also, posts showing Kostas saying he is in a movie coming out , but you can see him in an ad he did for PGS - he points to the PGS KS video.

So I log onto Dingoonity, and I can see PGS have logged on and are viewing the incriminating posts about Alan Williams ( the Product designer who then was the Community manager) being Kostas the actor. I can see them in the thread for a fair amount of time.


Then some time goes by , and they respond in the comments with this:

"
Alec Arzh Alexander less than a minute ago

Konstantin is a part of our team. We needed a person with charisma and acting skills to be a community manager. It makes sense.
Eventually he has become much more valuable team member than just a community manager, participating in product designing."


This is getting ridiculous.

First they say Alan Williams was the Product Designer in there video that dates back to at least April. Then recently PGS said he was the Community manager in the staff update(note that it wasn't the other way around). Then when someone said , hey , I thought he was the product designer , PGS then say, oh , yeah, he is both.

Then of course people say, hey isn't his name Kostas. To that they reply , yeah ok, it's Konstantin, we couldn't tell you his real name because , ah Russian political situation and Konstantin wants to migrate to the US. If that was the case, why did you just out him. Makes no sense.'

Then the incriminating evidence is posted which they then see about him being an actor. What do they say, ah , yeah ok, he is an actor, but he has charisma , that's why we hired him for the Community manager, then we found he is good with product designing. Remember, he was labelled as the Product deisgner way before being labeled as the community manager - ie not the other way around.

Oh, and lets not forget that as the supposed community manager - he has made zero posts on KS. Aha

Oh boy, what do I say. - Further and further down the rabbit hole we go.

I think you can guess that I find this hilariously unbelievable


Frankly, and I said this from the start, I firmly believe everyone in that PGS video is an actor. And that includes the members in the video they now claim to be still in their staff. ie Sergei - the engineer who cannot be found at all and Emanuel Johnson - marketing manager . By the way, Emanuel is listed as Eman Gardiner on Russian social media. Not that I believe either of those names are real. But once again, another name discrepancy..

Artur did have a matching social media account to his reported name, and he did say he was PGS's financial guy as PGS claim. But , Artur is also a) Not in the PGS video, B) The only person in Nadir's Friends list on his russian social media account- Hmmm

FWIW, it's not uncommon for people outside of Europe and America to have a second 'english' name to stop us mangling their real name. Often these are unintentionally hilarious, such as one Indian I worked with who decided that 'Hitler' was a good name.

So the fact he's using a fake name doesn't worry me. The fact they haven't shown any aptitude for designing hardware is slightly more concerning though, for any investors.

Edit: Added missing negative context - whoops!

 

[vcoleiro1]

Did you miss the whole actor bit, and them not coming forward about him until he was completely exposed and people pointed it out.

The fact his name is actually different I could understand. His role changing with hilarious excuses - well come on.

Kostas or Konstantin is a male model and actor, what he did on the PGS video was an acting gig. <- the elephant in the room.

He isn't the actor they saw Charisma in , then offered the community manager role to. That doesn't even fit with there own BS, as they said he was originally the Product designer, not the community manager.

As I said, IMO , everyone in that video was an actor.

True, and I thought the same thing, but I don't think this applies so much to Russian names which usually aren't very difficult for westerners to pronounce.

To be fair, I think it's fairly common for ads to feature actors that purport to be employees of the company being advertised. In and of itself I don't see a problem with that, it's just how most established companies do PR. The trouble there is that PGS isn't an established company, so lacking any products to their name or even an actual prototype the only thing we can judge them on is how they do their PR, which with nothing else to support it is coming off as dishonest, and they are handling the fallout from that very badly.

Just realize there are 28 people who pledged for $320 rewards while they can pledge the same device for $280 rewards. Had they a gun put to their heads by a Russian mobster?

rofl... not only that, but 5 people actually pledged 280$ for the lite version instead of a hardcore version...

I guess they pledged when the $280 rewards were all grabbed?

that makes sense. also a lot of backer have withdrawn, so those "good" deals might have become available again.

"By the end of the campaign we'll try to show you the renewed version of the prototype."
Oh no. Oh my god did they really said that?
Thanks for the money guys! You can be sure that we will use that to build a working prototype!

 

[Yoyobuae]

Speaking of lack of details and photos of the working process, we think it may make things even worse as it was with our first prototype, when people were not satisfied by photos of half-assembled device or just internals. It may make wrong impression. Now we'd like to present you the fully completed improved prototype, as soon as it is finished. We are really on this path.

So now they realize just how shameful is their half-arse-embled "prototype".

It's going to be even funnier when they reveal the "fully completed improved prototype", you know the one they've said it will still be a hack-job of parts canibalized from other devices.

they actually said that about a million times now, almost in every update. it's mind boggling.

Because we're outside looking in...

I was outside there too since I never had a smartphone and didn't trust Hhsnbn before it was cool.
I think it's the whole blatant bad lying, the actors, the Russian connotation, the broken English (especcially from the army of obvious fake accounts from July 2016) the detailled insight into what producing a really compact and mobile computer entails that ED gave us and the shamelessness about it from the very beginning while I guess Hhsnbn wasn't intending a scam at first but switched to it later when it was too tempting.
Give a morally unstable person a lot of money and few obligations and he will most likely scam people sooner or later but this here is so full of sh** all over the place from the very beginning, it's really hilarious.
