Scribd — months of unwanted billing!

J Joshua Review updated: Feb 02, 2020

Don't do business with Scribd! I used to love this site in the past and bought many books there, prices were low and customer service was always helpful. But Scribd has moved away from subscription and now you have to pay for each book separately. If I have to pay for each book, it's not really a subscription in my opinion. So I cancelled my account several months ago
and just found out that they have continued charging me for their service! I went to their site and tried to find a phone number, but it appears that they don't have one. And their reps simply do not respond to emails! I'm very disappointed. I contacted my bank and I hope they'll return my money back.

From last four months scribd is charging me $8.99. When I contacted them at [email protected], they are are not co operating and I had to block my credit card. It seems that scribd is a scam so never give them credit card info at all.

This company somehow acquired my credit card information and has been charging me for months! I think they have figured out how to automatically fill in the credit card info if they have it saved on their google accounts. It is illegal and I don't know how they are getting away with it.

I have been charged for months from this company but there is no account under my email because I never signed up so I can't even cancel the membership. Very frustrating and no longer want to be charged. I'm not sure how it is possible to have been charged without my knowledge for so long or how my card is attached to an account I never set up

I was charged via my credit card twice for the month of October 2018, and have not been using the website for quite a while. As such please cancel my subscription with effect from today (27 Oct 2018).
The reason is that I am retired and cannot afford to pay the subscription fee every month.

My young daughter purchased a script on your website as a free trial. Since then you have been charging me every month over £7 a month plus international payment charges. I haven't signed up for any of this so I want this charge stopped and a full refund in my bank account.

Please let me know when this has been done.

Many thanks

My son's debit card has been billed 4 times since June for $8.99 a month. He never subscribed to your service, nor has he ever heard of your site. This has cost him $151.96 due to overdraft charges. I am expecting full refund of his amount ASAP. From the looks of it, my son isn't the only victim of this and I would like this resolved immediately.
