Unauthorised charges on my credit card! Unauthorised charges on my credit card! I followed some links to "free" documents on scribd a while back. Now there are charges appearing on my credit card. Did I give them permission? Well whenever I sign up for an account anywhere I do these things: 1) I use the "+" feature of gmail to identify the company eg myemail+scribd at gmail. This great feature makes it easy to sort my emails and keep track of things. My alleged account at scribd did not have this addition. 2) I use a particular pattern for my user names to make them easier to remember. My alleged scribd username did not follow my pattern. 3) I use a password manager to store the website and username, and generate a unique and VERY secure password for each site. There is no entry for Scribd in my password manager database! 4) Then I paste the password from password manager into my browser. I checked my browser and there is no password stored for Scribd! So I accept I have opened links to documents that the linkers said were free, but I can be pretty sure I _didn't_ give Scribd permission to charge me. So how did they manage to charge my credit card? I am querying Scribd about this.

Like most people surprised at being… Like most people surprised at being charged (today) - I've never used the service my reading history is blank. So I've cancelled on the scribd website, and also then logged into my payment service (paypal) to cancel future payments. I've also emailed scribd asking them to reverse the payment. Now checking here I see others have been charged even after cancelling, which was not my initial concern. So I'll start with 3 stars assuming good intent on their side, but I will update this review when I hear back from scribd. I do hope they won't try taking any further payments and they reverse my one surprise payment.

Theft and Fraud Facilitators This company has been fraudulently taking money from my account for months. I never signed up, the email isn't my email but they are using my credit card. No way to contact the company if you don't have an account - which I don't, although I seem to be paying for someone else's. Criminal.

Never signed up but their name showed up on my credit card. 2 seperate lines of charge showed up with their name on my credit card with $0. We don't have any accounts with them so no reason for any of it. How they got my credit card details is beyond me. But looking at all the reviews here, sounds like it's a dodgy company that makes it impossible to unsubscribe and deals with other shady business practices. I will wait for a couple of days to make sure the charges are gone otherwise might have to do a chargeback on credit card.

thieves! thieves! After having cancelled my subscription they kept taking the money from my bank account without sending a receipt of payment and denying I did cancel the account They are thieves!!! ============================ It is interesting, I wrote you an email asking for a refund as I did got a screen confirmation I did cancel the account, I’ve NEVER entered your website ever in the following months! In the email I’ve got from the support the message is: we don’t monitor if you use the services or not. So you charged my monthly subscription for 32 months!!! Without sending an email with a receipt of payment. You only care about getting the money! That confirm the title = LADRI
