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..

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

They kept spamming me for years… They kept spamming me for years (luckily just my garbage account), until I finally lost it and sent them an email telling them to delete my account and all my information. No answer – but they did double down on their spam messages. At least one email in January EVERY DAY. No thanks. 1 star well deserved.

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!

Absolute scam Absolute scam. I made an acount to follow interesting academic literature. Instead I received daily mails concerning somebody mentioning my works in their research. Quite impossible, since none of my works is qualitative nor connected to my account. Nevertheless Academia.edu tries to sell you a subscription to view non-existing mentions.
