Scribd

I cancelled my membership before my free trial even ended because I was not using it too often. I double-checked and then didn't think about it anymore. I've just found out that they've been charging my cards since then. Not a single email sent to inform me that I was even going to be charged. I have no idea if I will even even get my money back anymore but for the love of god do not get it subscribe unless you are absolutely sure that you will be using it a lot.

I have been a subscriber for years and always find something new to read or listen to. Scribd has probably saved me thousands of pounds on books over the years and hours waiting for them to turn up in my local library. I like that I can dip into anything I fancy and then wander off onto something else if I don't find it engaging without the clutter and commitment of having to pay for a physical item. It's perfect for someone like me with adhd and a wandering inquisitive mind.

This website has committed fraudulence on hundreds of people. I have had $83.54 stolen from me. THIS IS A SCAM! I urge anyone who is thinking about subscribing to this website, to look away immediately. I hate this because I am a broke, college kid who pays for school independently! I had never even heard of the website until I saw monthly charges on my account! And no, Jerry G, I don't need or want your response. I believe you are the sole creator of this monstrosity and I am very upset by the decisions you have made. How dare you.

I unsubscribed from this service a month after joining to use a single textbook for a university essay I was writing in DECEMBER 2022... NOPE, never mind. Flash forward to SEPTEMBER 2023 and I see a sneaky lil $14.55 on my Scotia app... Check back months and months and I'm being charged again and again for a service I DID NOT USE and UNSUBSCRIBED from. Absolute dog$#!t. How can this company continue to operate with reviews that repeat over and over that people were SCAMMED? Life is hard enough, trying to pay rent, groceries, wifi, phone, etc... already drowning without scam artists taking MY hard earned money. This is such garbage. I hope those who work for this disgusting company get what they deserve. I know I won't get a refund, though I and the others who have complained should. Learn how to run an honest company you DECEITFUL SCUM. Respectfully, I hope it is slow and painful when the time comes :)

I was trying to sign up for the free 30-day trial, and there were a few problems when it suddenly went straight to credit card information and then created a fake account that I can't access. I even tried linking it to my facebook, but every time I log in it doesn't show up. Worst of all, my credit card information is now on the account, on the website, I can't access the account, and I am being charged. When I was able to be on the account, I tried everything to stop the membership or change the credit card information, but nothing is working. I have never had a problem with Scribd before, and now its completely $#*!ting on me. I've contacted, or tried, and nothing back. They are literally stealing from me now, and I can't do a single thing about it.

I was actually so impressed with their digital library and selection of audiobooks that I joined for a year prepaid well before the expiration of a 60 day trial period. I initially quite liked their app, also. Today Scribd removed an audiobook from my library that I was already listening to because I started a second book, which was a short story. Now they tell me that my book will not be available to me again for another ten days. All of the books that I had saved for future reading were removed from my library. Access is not unlimited.

I cancelled my Scribd account two months ago, but I am continually being charged $12.53 every month for the past two months for an account that I don't even use. After reading several reviews of other people experiencing the exact same thing as I am, I am sending another message regarding this issue.
I have bank statements stating that I am being charged. It also says on the scribd website that I am not subscribed to any service and that I don't have a card on file.
I have an order number as well if this is required to receive refunds for the charges.
I would very much appreciate a refund and an explanation as to why I am continually being charged when my account was cancelled so long ago.

They have charged 2 times my bank account with an ammount of 9.99 each time. I had cancelled my free trial subscription right after I created my account, however, it appeared as if it was on when I went to my account to see what happened.

Ticket number: #*******.

I was lured into their online site to download a pdf. However I tried to cancel multiple times afterwards as I didn't find anything else of value. Close to impossible to cancel, and after months of trying to cancel I'm not yet sure if off the hook. Stay away!

I was elated when I saw Scribd reinstated their unlimited program. Their website advertises that they are "truly unlimited". As of June, 2019, it appears that this is not true. After listening to 2 full audiobooks, I started seeing "Available Soon". The initial top books are not available after reading, listening, or just skimming.
Message to Scribd, your advertising is disceptive and dishonest. If you need to raise your price, mention it in your advertising.

Very deceptive. This is not an unlimited service. After you listen to 2 audiobooks during a billing cycle you are cut off. After you are cut off you can see the title and the date it will be available. I researched this and found countless reviews with the same issue. They were told that they "throttle abusers of the system". I am not sure how paying for a service and then trying to use it can be considered abusive. Very disappointed since I prepaid for a year. Will be requesting a refund. Audible may be a little more expensive but they are upfront about their service, offer discounts and you can purchase more books if you'd like. With Scrid you just have ti wait.

Although I cancelled my subscription back in 2020, Scribd continued to charge my credit card for the subscription fees. I have complained again July 2023, their AI responds with the same messages that the account is cancelled. And yes, they charged the amount again for Aug. 2023! I am now taking legal action and report them to the FBI as I am not the only victim. This is their business model!
