Scam Description
Online ad via YouTube for a hybrid online/physical chess board to a slick website with ordering page for this chess board. Linked to video describing functionality etc. Later discovered all this content was listed for a Kickstarter where the actual product is being developed. When the charge hit by card I saw that it was out of Slovakia and became concerned it was a scam. I emailed customer service with no response. This website is a complete scam. My CC company is investigating the charges so I should be fine but this site needs to be taken down and investigated.
