Unauthorized charge of $191. I reaceoved an unauthorized charge of $191.00 for a premium service that I will never use and I have never requested. This is truly unacceptable. I am not an academica and have never written an academic research paper. After I disputed this charge, Academia.edu has failed to reimburse this charge. I wish to have these funds reimbursed immediately.

first the very bad news .. first the very bad news ... a simply click gives academia.eu access to all of your google contacts!! BEWARE giving your contacts away as it can be used maliciously. second... endless 'recommendations' that in effect become spam by sheer numbers. Occasionally i do come across an interesting paper, but i have to wade through so much else to find it. NOTE THE REPLY. NO DENIAL THAT TAKING YOUR CONTACTS HAPPENS! just a curious 'sorry you had this experience'. well of course i had this experience, thats IS the academis.eu experience they have set up!

I'd give them 0 stars if I could. I'd give them 0 stars if I could. This is about as scammy as it gets, folks. Trust the reviews. My bad experience is like a regurgitation of what others have posted. Hefty charge for a mysterious service I definitely didn't sign up for after I visited their site once, like, a year ago and didn't sign up for anything. Not even a trial offer. Yeah, no. Hard pass.

Multiple "unsubscribe" requests ignored Despite multiple requests to unsubscribe from "is this publication yours?" emails, they keep coming. This has been going on for six months. It is spamming now, pure and simple. Academia.edu is not respecting the notification choices of their customer base - and they are also breaking UK law by doing this!

unknown subscription Somehow I was billed for Academia.edu's subscription for years and I paid thousands of dollars for a website I have simply logged into a couple times when I was in college. I advise other people to be weary of any free trials and keep your cancellation confirmation so you don't end up in a situation like mine.
