Scribd

Hi,

On 16th November, I went to Scribd site, and I was offered a free trial subscription for one month. I was asked to put my VISA card details, and it was also assured that nothing will be deducted from my card during the Trial period, provided I cancel the subscription anytime before the expiry of the trial period. Based on the commitment I decided to provide my card details to avail the free subscription. As soon as I submitted the request my card got charged with the full subscription money for one month.

I really feel like got cheated here. If you are charging from the very first month itself, and there is no trial period, then why are you making false commitment to your customers.

I went to the Scribd customer support site and lodged a complaint also. My support ticket number is #1240182. They were supposed to get back with a written revert within one working day.

But I did not receive any revert from their side. This is purely cheating and absolutely unethical from a reputed site like Scribd.

I hope based on this complaint I get my money back.

Regards,
Anirban Sengupta

I'm officially done with Scribd. I really loved it and used it for about a year, but then they placed all those crazy limits and lost lots of customers. And I am one of them. Their new rules and platform are ridiculous! I had bought a subscription based on unlimited books and now I can get only 3 books per month! So basically I wasted my money on nothing. Sorry, Scribd, but I'm leaving.

I started using Scribd in 2015 and was very satisfied. I signed up, paid some money and was able to read unlimited books! I spent weeks reading books on Scribd and was very happy. But then they decided to make some changes and set up a new platform. And starting from 2016 that terrible monthly limit on books appeared. Then I decided to cancel my subscription and found out that after you cancel your account it is impossible to read the books you paid for! Don't use this service. Scribd was really great in the past, but once the new platform was set up it turned into a real nightmare.

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.
