I was running through the comment section on the CNBC Article about the deal between Lockheed and this one guy was posting crap that got my attention. Going by the name Campbell, he posted this nonsense:
"the so-called 'hybrid airships" such as "LMH-1" "Airlander" "Aerocat" "Aeroscraft" are no more than novely; and as such, detrimental to the advance of the greater lighter-than-air industry"
Then in another post he posted to a page that I read a good potion of that talked about this mythical "HARBOR REACH" military operation where theses commanders were quoted as saying how great Turtle Airships are, and how they conducted this mission with a few 500 ton hauling airships and where amazed at what they could do.
And that the government should spend 3 billion on only Turtle Airships because they are the ONLY company that can build airships like this... all of which I knew couldn't be true. But it was written in a way that almost had me fooled into thinking, did I miss something?
I finally realized after putting the puzzle together that this webpage that was probably put up by Turtle Airships, was an obvious con-job designed to draw in unwitting investment funds from crowd funding or some other such investment scam.
Their fake webpage, looked just like a webpage I remember a few years back where someone was trying to sell Blender as a closed source application, even though Blender is open source and free.
I don't know, maybe we should feel proud of the fact that our little Airships industry is big enough now to draw the attention of scammers, but I refuse to let anyone get hurt by these con-men.
Turtle Airships is a scam, don't trust those guys. Warn others not to trust them, they are bad news and bad for business.
EDIT: THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE... maybe we should fight scammers every April 1st?
