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.

Does not follow Canadian Spam Act Laws Does not follow Canadian Spam Act Laws. Ignores its own notification preferences on your account and continually bombards you with spam. You can turn off all the email notifications on your account and the service will still bombard you will multiple emails daily. It's a spam service, and the constant notifications to purchase a subscription in order to view my name mentions are complete lies designed to make you pay for non-existing papers. It's a scam. It violates Canada's spam laws.

This is extreemly redicules site and… This is extreemly redicules site and web serviece. I highly recommend that you don't sign up even, aside from paying for a memebership. it looks not only fraudlent but spamy too. I unsubsribed from their silly spamming message services 3 times but I still get stupid messages about my name is menitoned somewhere. The article I signed for them to access wasn't accessable anyway too!!! Don't even register with them it is too fishy and spamy

AVOID AT ALL COSTS Processed a yearly subscription from my account without any notice or instruction. Thieves. Stay away, and do not sign up for any of their ‘£1 trials’ as they will scam you in the future. Never again will I use this companies service, and I hope this review reduces their future income.

Avoid Academia! Avoid Academia!! They cheat customers. They will increase your suscription without previous notice and without your acceptance. Answering Academia: Even if you send an email you cannot change suscription without customer approval. I already contacted your “support” team and they said they cannot do anything, just suggested to cancel my membership, which i did. Too late now. Academia is a scam! You only hace to see your 1.5stars in Truepilot. Hopefully you’ll disappear soon
