So I am in wholehearted agreement that we need to work as a community to bring charges against Richard James and I'm excited that it looks like we finally have an avenue to help Thunt out with this. I just went to the site and started sifting through the report procedure and there are a bunch of options.
1) There is a contact person (two actually) listed at the bottom of the page in the
FTC article about the Kickstarter campaign that is Helen Wong, Bureau of Consumer Protection, 202-326-3779. We could call and talk to her office.
2) There is an
online form on the FTC website, it asks you to kind of go through a selection to describe what kind of complaint it is. In this case I would select: Scams and Ripoffs --> No Match Found (the other selections are for more "conventional" scams eg. posing as gov. or business, false checks etc) --> it will then ask you for info about how much you paid, how you were contacted etc etc. at the end of the form there is a space to tell your story or expand on anything you think is pertinent. Due to the personal report I think it is best if only G:AR backers send these in, it will not help Thunt to spam or, offend or annoy the FTC at this stage.
For the form I think it would be best if we could agree on a uniform answer aside from the personal response and amount paid fields to make a clearer presentation.
Any ideas/suggestions about trying to contact the FTC in an organized way?
