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.

I am absolutely outraged that I have… I am absolutely outraged that I have been charged £166.80 for a Premium subscription. I mistakenly signed up for Academia Premium last year (at the time it was £69). In that time, most of the mentions have been for another academic with a similar name to me, so pretty much the service has been rubbish. I have just looked through my emails and have located an email sent on 8 March, which advised me that subcription charges would be going up, but there is absolutely no option in the email to cancel this. Now, I have just tried to log in to my account and it says there is a problem, so I cannot even cancel the subscription to ensure this never happens again. I will take this further if Academia edu do not refund my subscription. I am appalled that this sort of company has sway in the academic community.

Good service I will just give this company credit fir refunding my money within just couple days. And no, I'm not working at this company.

Signing up for a one month trial at 3… Signing up for a one month trial at 3 dollars.. A month later they take 99 dollars for an auto renew year suscription.. What a scam.. They might be within their rights, but this seems to intenational on their part... Guess that is the business plan, to make students fork over their money by a technicality, and clever auto renewal.. Bad look on their part.. Tried to get a refund, but guess that is a long shot, because it clearly is their method to make you think you pay 3 dollars for a month, and when you relish they have taken a whole year worth, yeah then they have your money..

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.
