Guess they just hired the web designer and lost track there...

It is scam, nicely crafted but epic fail at the end.

You wouldn't get that kind of disclosure unless you 'know' someone. They have apparently said they'll be back on line within 48 hours. They do need to be wayy more transparent.

They had a big dream... hoping to get tons of pre-orders, use that money to hire people and create a company. Then they decided that wouldn't work, so they decided to go the escrow route. Maybe they thought with enough orders placed when they launched their website, someone would fund them. Now their plan is starting to fall apart so they have gone quit. Has anyone even had John K. confirm this?

Funny.

Maybe they're just really busy and haven't employed someone full time to monitor forums..  There's an alternative explanation lol

I haven't received a response from TSMC confirming their relationship with XCrowd yet.  This doesn't necessarily mean anything, as they may not be able to disclose that information.

Has anyone else already checked this?

a small movie with their hardware working or smthg will be a nice proof

They have account hacked or they are kidnapped or... Catched by police or... Just stupid
Not smart enough to pull decent scam to the end.

Or scared of jail, deleting posts, forum, going quiet

No other explanation.

The forums were up for about a day. Then they randomly took them down.

I have exchanged a few emails - they haven't gone completely quiet.. they indicated we would receive more info in the next 48hrs

Yeah - this is a good list of questions.  Highly recommend they be answered before Xcrowd asks for money.. escrow or not..

I do not think there is enough evidence to label as scammer yet, but there are definately some things that need to be answered.

1) Where has xcrowd gone?  It seems he has been on the forums, but has not replyed to anyone or anything in a couple of days.  Has he been replying to emails?

2) Why does the link to the xcrowd forums not work on the website?  I had not checked if they were ever up if anyone can confirm if they were or not.

3) John K. confirmation that he is indeed working with xcrowd to provide escrow services for these products.

4) An employee list, when looking at the website it only seems like one person works there according to crowd sourcing website that is linked at the bottom.  Are there more employees?  Are they being hired?  This seems pretty important as one person certainly cant manage this by themselves. (and yes I see that he has job postings out, but is anything being done with them)

5) A business plan.  So far we have heard dates, how about something a little more concrete as far as a plan for the future?

I am sure I am forgetting something, and will update this post as it comes to mind with other questions that I have.  Please guys, lets not spread FUD and wait for an official word from xcrowd about the above questions, if you have others you want added, then please PM me and I will add them, so as not to burry these questions here.

Thanks,

Nice hosting for such enterprise.

Lol.

This is scam but i dont know how he is gonna scam if all is escrowed. Maybe hosting is not and he will mine bitcoins scamming noobs?

Dude, are you blind to the word "perhaps" ? No reason to feel offended or take it personal. Read that sentence again. My point is that I was doing darn good due diligence in pretty decent colo places.
I'm sure there are better places somewhere else though. There always are. I hear Europe has even better ones due to lack of seismic activity in some areas. Isn't there where Wikileaks hosts its servers? :-) Anyway...

is he really MIA? The Abdi Mahamud from xCrowd?

XCrowd why have you deleted your forum a couple of us were posting on there?

You know that would have been a very good factual argument until you mentioned best on the planet, with that you hurt everything else you said by trying to show off.

One would hope there would be more information provided to the community before sending out the "escrow" instructions to proceed with payment and locking down order positions... if they push the 7 day rule of pay or lose spot in line, I would imagine the actual order book will thin out...

They've never heard of the phrase 'escrow scam' before.
