Academia Avaliações 835

I recently signed up for a one-month trial subscription on Academia.edu to check citations made to my name. Right after the trial period ended, they automatically charged my card a massive annual fee of 3,000 TRY. This deduction was made entirely without my explicit, affirmative consent, and without sending any prior warning or notification email.

​When I immediately contacted their customer support to cancel the unwanted annual subscription and demand a refund, they sent a generic refusal email claiming renewals are non-refundable. Since then, they have been completely ignoring my follow-up emails (Ticket ID: #1005697).

​This is a highly unethical, illegal, and predatory subscription trap designed to take users' money without authorization. I demand that Academia.edu escalates this matter and issues my full refund immediately. Beware of this platform!

Edu Academia mi ha truffato facendomi pagare un abbonamento premium di 157,38 euro mai richiesto . Spero paypal mi rimborsi

Despite cancelling my subscription, academia.edu ignored my email and I was charged 118€. It's easy to sign up but very difficult to cancel. Marketing is aggressive.

Academia edu claim their unsubscription option is easy to use - but this statement is not quite correct. It's easy to sign up but more difficult to unsubscribe, and emails are routinely ignored.

Obwohl ich mein Abonnement gekündigt habe, hat academia.edu meine E-Mail ignoriert und mir wurden 118 € berechnet. Die Anmeldung ist einfach, die Kündigung hingegen sehr schwierig. Das Marketing ist aggressiv.

Academia.edu behauptet, die Kündigungsoption sei einfach zu bedienen – das stimmt aber nicht ganz. Die Anmeldung ist zwar einfach, die Kündigung jedoch umso schwieriger, und E-Mails werden regelmäßig ignoriert.

Back in 2023, I bought one article for my thesis because I didn't want a subscription.

As it turned out, over the course of three years, Academia deducted a total of over 700 euros from my account because I apparently did have a subscription. They send you so many e-mails, but the ones about payment and subscription renewal are the ones you have to opt-in for instead of opt-out.

Make sure you never give this company your creditcard info.

If you fell victim to their predatory subscription practices, it's very difficult to get an hold of them, since they use multiple different mail-addresses for 'customer' support and reply with bot-messages.

I managed to get all my money back from the last three years, after messaging their CEO directly on LinkedIn.

They know exactly what they're doing, and they're not planning on changing anything.

This company is a scam. They do not let you cancel your premium renewal then they process the renewal and refuse to refund you. It does not have enough access for the price it is and notifies you about mentions constantly about unrelated people.
Huge scam don't sign up

AcademiaEdu è una piattaforma alla quale non sono mai stata registrata, non ho mai caricato lì pubblicazioni mie. Oggi ho visto con grande stupore lì una mia pubblicazione caricata da me a ResearchGate molti anni fa :
"Written sources on Coptic Dying methods"

Era posta sull account di una persona omonima, ma di interessi del tutto diversi dal tema.
Ho chiesto all'amministrazione di Academia di rimuovere immediatamente il mio articolo pubblicato lì senza permesso, però fecero finta di non aver capito: Mi sarei forse registrata con e-mail diversa, per questo avrei difficoltà di entrare nel mio account...
A questo punto sorge spontaneo chiedersi fino a che punto gli articoli lì pubblicati non costituiscano un plagio e se siano effettivamente scritti dai titolari degli account.

I have been billed for premium membership for the next year without requesting this.
Last September I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have been off work from my University in Australia where I am a tenured academic.
When I saw that money had been taken from
my account by Academia without my authorization I send Academia an email.
‘Hannah’ asked me to provide specific details about my account so that they could look it up.
I did that.
I’ve now received an email basically saying that it’s too late etc.
I take issue with this.
My question to ACADEMIA is ‘ If an academia should die or disengage from work due to serious illness or any other compelling reason how can they in any conscience take money from a bank account?’ Unauthorized.

This is deplorable business practice.

If they do not refund my money in 48 hours I’ll be taking this further.
My bank has been notified.Im hoping that they are on alert to such unscrupulous practices and will act on my behalf.

Me siento engañada, estafada y robada. Me han hecho un cargo de 139€ sin previo aviso por una suscripción que no deseo. Ahora veremos si me devuelven o no el dinero, aunque tiene pinta de que no.

arnaque!!!! je me suis fait prelever 69 euros sans etre aboné

Mi experiencia con Academia.edu ha sido muy negativa.

He recibido un cargo por una renovación de Academia Premium de la que no era plenamente consciente. Al contactar con atención al cliente para solicitar el reembolso, me han indicado que no pueden devolver el importe porque se trata de una renovación de suscripción. He reclamado el día después del cobro y me contestan que no me lo reembolsan.!!

Aunque han cancelado la renovación automática para que no se me vuelva a cobrar, considero que el proceso de aviso, renovación y cobro no ha sido suficientemente claro para el usuario. En mi caso, no tenía intención de renovar ni de contratar un nuevo periodo de pago.

Me parece especialmente decepcionante que, ante una solicitud de reembolso realizada tras detectar el cargo, la respuesta haya sido simplemente aplicar una política interna de “no refunds” para renovaciones, sin valorar realmente la situación del cliente.

No recomiendo activar Academia Premium sin revisar muy bien las condiciones, los avisos de renovación y la configuración de la suscripción. En mi opinión, deberían mejorar mucho la transparencia del proceso de renovación y ofrecer una solución más razonable en estos casos.

Una truffa legalizzata. Offrono l' iscrizione all' abbonamento premium a un euro, ma una volta iscritti non permettono l' annullamento. Sito e app funzionano perfettamente ma stranamente il link per disdire l' abbonamento dell' annullamento si blocca sempre. NON ISCRIVETEVI AD ACADEMIA EU.

I fell victim to the $1 scam. I signed up for a one-month trial with annual renewal, but before the end of the 30-day trial, I canceled my subscription. My account even reverted to free mode, but to my surprise, on the 13th, a month later, I was charged $99. I contacted them, and they told me they couldn't give me a refund. I saw on their website that they use this $1 scam to get our bank details.

They have to know that they Steel real money of real people.

Thé three numbers of my three request now they dont answer me

They're thieves, they took money from my card even though I had cancelled the auto-renewal subscription. Don't put your information on that shitty website.

Cette entreprise est aux limites de la malhonnêteté -- et les franchit, en augmentant brusquement l'abonnement.

I would rate 0 if it was possible!
I had a 3 months trials subscription years ago. recently the useless emails about my name being referenced (when it was never me) finally stopped. Then suddenly, last January, I ended up with a large charge on my credit card for a renewal subscription ... Wednesday Thursday Friday !

I have cancelled everything and deleted my account - also changed my credit card! crooks!

I have been debited £82.80 out of the blue. I have no account with them. I have never received an email from them. No warning of any payment being debited or what for. I do not know who Academia.edu are. This is a complete fraud. I am pursuing a complaint through PayPal.

Terrible Customer service.
They subtract money from you without asking

Ho ricevuto un addebito di €157,38 su PayPal Senza sottoscrivere un abbonamento.
Pretendo che mi venga rimborsato al più presto quanto è stato prelevato altrimenti partono le denunce.

Offers you to pay for books that are free. Should be eliminated.
