Watch out for this scam Watch out for this scam! $169 Australian dollars taken from my PayPal account today, I had the genuine impression that my "upgrade" was for the cost of $5, without agreeing to further deductions. Additionally the " mentions" of my work - all false! An organisation totally lacking in transparency and integrity. I've logged my complaint with them - no response, 12 hours later, considering legal action now.

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.

Thieving spivs These spivs withdrew €214,80 from my credit card account without my permission nor knowledge. I have never signed up to any of their services and only accessed their site to read scientific papers that they make available free. Some were interesting but over the years I've downloaded less than a dozen - all allegedly free. I am puzzled how they gained access to my credit card account. I am considering legal action.

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.

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.
