Cyper Pro : The Dangers of Kickstarter Scams!
Ғылым және технология
Today we're revisiting the Cyper Pro, a hacking device from Kickstarter project that I covered a few months back. After the video, some CRAZY STUFF started happening behind the scenes, leading most of us to to conclusion that this is a TOTAL SCAM!

They banned me from the discord because I said it was vaporware, thank you for making this video 😁

I knew this was a rug pull the second we saw the copied Flipper website description text.
Can we all please stop for a second to appreciate the nickname "BillNyeusesmyWifi"!

Any thoughts on the Monstatek M1? They just released it and will be using the Murata 1DX for WiFi capabilities.
I know this isn't for everyone, but when it comes to some of these types of "products" and/or "companies" I tend to lean on the AMEX. Filed a dispute, showed the original order, told them I have tried to contact the company and they're non-responsive, dropped images of their broken discord and Forum links. No joke, 2 minute turn around time I've been credited. If they dispute... TBD, but at least then they have to answer to being unreachable or giving BS responses. Oh and chargebacks are always bonus fun for them too.

I just contacted Amex today to start the dispute.
The link to join their Discord now is invalid
Thanks for the coverage :) !

I bought my transparent Flipper Zero months ago and I'm very happy with it. Due to my failing eyes, I thought Cyper Pro would be perfect for me as it had a much bigger and full color screen. I did heed your warning when you covered it and didn't pre-order it. They really sound shady and I'm staying clear for now. Thanks so much for the update. :)
Reminds me of a classic song line “Come on take the money and run.” I was very sceptic of this when I first saw it on KS. Glad I saved my money and bought a few things for my Flipper.
What's the Discord?
is it me or does the device look like a generic cheap chinese retro emulation console?
Love the channel, keep it up! Can you cover the game over board in one of the upcoming videos? Thank you! ❤
Darn I wish I knew this before I invested. I really hope I get it still
I would avoid that one. People were hyping it up but looked sketch 😢. Sorry to hear
I'll be honest, despite being a techy, I'm not always on the latest hardware for my hacker stuff or even gaming rig. BUT, this partly a good thing, as I dislike being a beta tester and dealing with problems until the manufacturer finally fixes an issue or abandons the entire project. I was glad I didn't join the kickstarter when I got banned from the Discord in about 10 minutes for trying to compare the functions to my Flipper Zero. Reasons I moved away from XtremeFW and Flipper Official. Asking certain questions or mentioning anything outside the project is apparently a no-go and there's 0 forgiveness.
kinda 'funny', because it looked way less like a scam, then the M1 does 🤷♂
I mean theres already flipper thats well established .why would you put money into a sketchy kickstarter thats basicly the same thing . 🤔
Sounds like ClockworkPi.
Well, I preordered from their website, seeing this I immediately requested a refund. I don’t have high hopes for actually getting a refund or a device :/

Which is why they always go for mod positions and then enforce weird neo-cultural taboos they made up against other people's freedom of speech.
eyyyy another banger 🔥
ive backed over 70 KS projects and with only 2 ever going rouge i can say with 100% certainty that this one is dead, sorry to everyone who backed it.
I held off because it looked sketchy as.
Got a weird vibe when saw this one so passed on it. Trust the gut.
i hope this isnt a trend where products try to compete with the flipper but just scam people, also poor bill he didnt deserve that hes hella chill

Kick starter is a 50/50. I don’t really participate in kickstarter since i’ll most likely get scammed. i don’t think the cyper pro will get released.

It would be so good,something "flipper 2". I hope, maybe M1. I missed the kickstarter, but I hope it will be real
Let's be honest, this lack of communication isn't new. Look what Sunlu did with the 4 filament dryer. I was one of the people who was waiting for them. Many were damaged, poorly put together and ZERO communication from a bigger company like Sunlu.
