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.

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.

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..

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.

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.
