Here's the latest post on their Facebook page:
Quote from U-Plug Products
Notice: Due to unauthorized articles and publicity, our phones are off and emails are on vacation. All questions concerning Individual Purchase, Technical questions and Distributorships will go unanswered until the product is listed as available here and on the website.
At this time no units are for sale and our distributorships already know who they will be.
It appears they ran an Indiegogo scam for about 24 thousand dollars and will be getting off scot free.

I submitted a request prior to the above notice and received no reply.  I highly doubt these guys have a real product.

As they say, "If it looks too good to be true, it probably is."

Now if we could only get bluehost.net and Facebook to pull their web presence, all would be good.

Scamming your life away for 24 thousand dollars, was it really worth it?
Or is anyone else using these people, their names etc, for the sake of free money?
Weird.

I guess the good news is they wanted to raise a quarter million from their Indiegogo campaign but fell short by 91%.

I can assure you if I had a real product, all I would need to do is send five units out to some of the people on this and other forums, let them test it and submit their results.  I could raise the money needed to go into production no sweat.  A few honest testimonials and a full written report with pictures and video, piece of cake.  Seriously, if I had a thumbs up from all these guys, would anyone question as to whether the device actually works as claimed:

Russ Gries,
Mark Dansie,
ZeroFossilFuel,
TinselKoala,
Poynt99

Let each of them run all the tests they want and declare it's the real deal.  I couldn't cash the donation checks fast enough.

Then what I would suspect to happen is the Feds getting in the way.  And you know what that means...

OpenSource everything and provide detailed material and build lists to everyone that donated and kits to those not so electrically or mechanically inclined.  Game, set, match!

So I guess in a month or so, a gang is going to go test this thing.  I'll believe it when I see it.

Russ, your family lives somewhere near this place I think.   Any chance you can hitch a plane to be a part of this?  You're about the only one I would trust to tell us if it's real or not.
