Patrick calderon, the dreamseller from crowdco.Co, quick to take your money but slow to deliver whats promised.
I read a previous Yscam from 2014 of patrick before i undertook his services, thinking "hey, maybe he had a bad experience or a bad run, its been 3 years since so surely he's managed to sort himself out and build reputation". Holy hell boy was i wrong. I have been chasing this individual for over 4 months now trying to recieve an agreed refund on the services that wern't provided.
I ran a kickstarter campaign and fronted $1500nzd to patrick to undertake pr services in america. Being from new zealand, i wanted someone to introduce me and make connections with american outlets that would be interested in my product. I will be brief with what my product is, but lets say it had a What i thought) pretty broad target of outlets that could be interested, for your interest sake heres a link to my kickstarter so you can see what patrick here was working with.
My boyfriend paid almost 1k to get his Kickstarter advertise to gain traffic and so on .Through the whole campaign they didn't assist in any way , they did zero work to help this campaign gain traffic. I'm not blaming Crowd co for the unsuccessful campaign, but this ppl got paid and they didnt provide the service. He asked for a refund, and they agreed to give him parcial back. But it's been like 6 months now, and after emails back and forth assuring him he will get his refund next week, they haven't done so.
They are unreliable and unprofessional. They take advantage of people. I will report them to the Federal Bureau of investigation internet crimes. https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
There has to be a stop to crowd co , I've seen too many negative reviews.
Patrick Calderon under Crowd.co advertises for Digital Marketing/PR jobs for kickstarter/indiegogo (crowdfunding) projects. He requests for upfront payment (>$1000) but after payment he does nothing. Not a single deliverable. He will then email back always asking for more time for various reasons. He makes it sound very personal and you want to believe him. But it's all rubbish. No refund and no work done.
Crowdco.co is a company that cannot be trusted They didn't carry any of the things they claimed they would They lie from top to bottom I would not give them one dime
Patrick calderon promotes services on upwork and crowdco.Co to promote crowdfunding campaigns. He will give you a really good pitch on the phone but then won't deliver anything useful. We made an upfront payment of 2'250$ via credit card to start working with him. At first it seemed promising. He setup a project on basecamp with tasks and deadlines for both us the client and himself. When he missed several deadlines and was hard to reach i looked up his name on google and found a bunch of outscam. I called him out on it and asked him to refund the money right away which he did. He then tried to convince me that all the reports including forum discussions were bogus and that it was his competitors that were trying to sabotage him. Giving him the benefit of the doubt i told him that i am willing to do the payment in instalments if he delivers on his milestones. Day and weeks passed and he kept missing deadlines. Luckily i didnt make any payments but we were losing precious time since we counted on his help for the campaign. What i believe is that happened is that he figured out that we wouldnt be an easy vicitm and therefore he stopped trying to scam us. You can believe everything that is written on the internet. We experienced exactly the same behavior. Its just sad that people like him exist.
We signed on with Patrick to do PR for a product launch for our company. At first, he was very optimistic and positive with all of our discussions. As soon as we signed the term sheet and submitted payment in November 2015, communication with him was terrible. He rarely answered his phone, emails and Skype messages. He missed multiple scheduled meetings and calls completely.
There was a complete lack of communication and promised deliverables were never received by us. When we did hear from him, he made promises that the press release draft is almost complete, or that his team is too backed up and will have it done that day. Not only did I not hear back from him, he completely ignored my messages. He went weeks without a response to multiple emails and messages and now it has just been complete disregard to any communication.
He has not followed up to deliver the promised services and communication with him has now completely dropped off with him ignoring all communication. So far, we still have not received any of his actual services based on the payments we have already paid him and the last communication he has sent us was well over a month ago.
Patrick Calderon will give you a good pitch. We started using him for our Kickstarter campaign to spread PR and help increase our campaign results. His pitch seems to be great. However, after paying, and setting his own expectations of deliverables to us, he went dark. We had to hound him for several days to get an answer. All the reports you read are true. We experienced everything everyone has written. Hard to get a hold of. No press copy was sent to us for review before hounding, even after he set the timeline and expectations.
His responses are all understandable and good, however his actions are the worst type of business accumen possible. It is human nature to give benefit of the doubt. Take these words, and those of others as truth. They have been our experience 100%. We will never recommend using Patrick Calderon-Dakin or anyone that purports doing business with him.
Patrick Calderon is a full service crowdfunding agency that spends more time talking about the services they provide than actually performing them. I do not complain about businesses often. Provide a service, even badly and I will let it go and not repeat it. But I cannot stand a liar. This review and the many others I am leaving about this crooked business could have been avoided with a refund. Patrick will respond to all of these reviews with a weak defense stating he provided a service, which he did not. And that he sent a refund, for which I still have not received. If for some reason I EVER DO GET MY MONEY BACK FROM HIM, I will remove my reviews about his company. I would strongly not recommend Crowco.Co to anyone for any reason. His phone # is Florida, Google has a pin dropped in Australia, not telling if he even has a legitimate business license.

If it looks to cheap or good to be true, it usually is. That is the case with Crowdco
I've never personally dealt with crowdco.co but have a habit of typing in "+reviews" before I deal with anyone on the internet. I did so with crowdco.co and
received a large number of frighting reports that people had dealing with this individual.
I have been working on and perfecting 9 inventions over the past two years and was getting close to launching the associated campaigns while looking for someone/something with expertise to assist me with the task of getting started raising some capital.
Thank goodness for all your good work. The bad reviews no doubt saved me from dealing with this outfit crowdco.co.
There really should be some way to stop these types of people from taking advantage of others.
Thanks again for all your good work in exposing this and other scams.

Hi guys,
