I signed up for scribed when i was a sophomore in highschool 3 years later i decided to google my phone number and scribd popped up with not only my name and complete full address but also my credit card Bin number expiration month and year, and Cvv did i mention i was in the 10th grade with my full address on the worldwide web
I've opened a ticket with their support: #*******
I cannot cancel my subscription from Scridb, already tried with all my emails, facebook, etc and all the accounts says i am not a "full member" or an active plan, but i am receiving TWO debits from my credit card:
My credit card number ends on 722 VISA
I need you to take off me from your page and STOP charging me this.
I logged to Scribd with all my emails, facebook account, google accounts, and none of those ones has any active subscription or credit card info added there.
I need you to STOP this, otherwise I will need to talk with a lawyer, I do not want any refund, i just need you to STOP CHARGING ME!

Customer service do not reply, money was charged without subscribing and using any of their services…… If you do not want your money "DONATED" to this company, DO NOT register at all. Absolutely ridiculous
Hello, we are sorry to hear you have not heard back from our support team. We would love to look into your invoice inquiry! To better assist you, please update your review, to include your ticket number and we will get it assigned to a specialist. Thank you! - MR
Sick to my stomach to see all the reviews on here. I am still being charged after canceling my monthly membership after the first month. I was thinking that it was an honest mistake but NO seems to happen to most people. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS. I am hoping that the reply and refund me though it seems like they leave customers hanging.
Hey Christina. We sent you a message last week for additional information to locate your account. Please email us at help@scribd.com and we'll be able to further assist you. Thank you. -Donni, Scribd Customer Support
I have been charged the monthly subscription for almost a year, even though I do not have any accounts. I have deleted my account many months ago, following step by step detailed in the directions. When I try to login, the login screen displays that the account was deleted. Yet I am still being charged monthly?
Additionally, there are no phone numbers or emails regarding customer service present on the Scribd website, making it difficult to reach out. The company recognizes these complaints (of being charged), yet completely disregards them by not having any form of direct customer service.
Reading the previous reviews, it concerns me how many people have not received the proper help to get their money back. This "ticket" system that verifies profiles does not work, as many people have proclaimed they do not have an account anymore (similar to my scenario). Through my bank app, I found a number related to the company; four-one-five, two-three-three, six-two-three-zero (this website censors phone numbers, thus why I typed it out). I will call them ASAP and see if it can help.
Scribd is a complete scam. Do not sign up for this app whatsoever. Reading through the previous reviews, I know I am not the only being fraudulently charged. I have filed a refund through my bank and will file a chargeback. To the many that are in the same situation, FILE A CHARGEBACK. Unlike a refund, a chargeback can negatively affect a company/business. The amount of reviews I've read of people being charged and not getting their money back is ridiculous! Give me and other people their money back!
Hi there, Hansol - Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry for the experience here. According to a support ticket you have with us, you are in current communication with our support staff regarding your account. You will be receiving a reply back within 24 hours. In the meantime, please direct any further questions back to your support ticket so that we may best assist you. Thanks! -AR
I just found out about there change in service. I only read a certain type of books and there unlimited books do not interest me. I live in Mexico that is why I have this. Where else can I go
Scribd continues to charge me TWICE a month for an account that doesnt even exist. I never signed up for a free trial or created an account. I even called my bank and cancelled my credit card, I got a new card and they still somehow charged my new credit card. I dont have any emails that are linked to the website. FRAUDULENT COMPANY.
Oh no! I am so sorry for the trouble here. Our system is set up to continue to charge bank accounts after updating your card number so subscribed users can continue to use our service without interruption. That said, I am so sorry this is having a negative effect on your account! As we are not able to charge canceled accounts, it sounds like you may have two duplicate accounts with us that are continuing to be charged. However, please do not worry! We have specialists who can absolutely help you with this. Contact us at help@scribd.com and update this message with your ticket number so they can help you as soon as possible - thanks for your time!
I seemingly cancelled my membership MONTHS ago. Yet this company is still taking my money. BY THE WAY they are also sending me emails urging me to sign up again, meaning they know very well that I cancelled my membership and are still continuing to charge me. If I don't hear from a representative ready to reimburse the money they STOLE from me- in the next 24 hours, I am contacting the authorities.
Hi Kayla - I'm so sorry to hear this, we will absolutely refund your charges. Please send us an email to help@scribd.com and we're more than happy to help.
I Have Two Documents For Sale On Scribd, Yesterday They Closed My Seller Account For No Reason... I Got This Message From Scribd Into My Account " Your account isn't eligible to sell documents "... I Heard Later That They Do That Randomly... Contacted Them On Support, No Answer Till Now... Yeah We All Know That Their Support Team Is VERY SLOW.
My Account Email: *******@gmail.com... Do YOU EVEN CARE, Jerry G (Scribd Rep)?
My husband wanted to give scribd a try so I signed him up for the FREE trial - he decided not to go with it so we CANCELLED his FREE trial the same day. We have been charged the monthly fee from February to September - I contacted Scribd and the pending charge for September was returned but not the remainder. (This was after several emails and providing documentation.) I then contacted them again and I just got an email saying they will refund us for July and August. I proceeded to tell them that it was THEIR FAULT NOT OURS! I am not happy, to say the least. I have again sent them an email and asked who to talk to regarding this issue. So far I CANNOT recommend this site - if this is what they do to people and how they treat them when it was THEIR FAULT, I hate to think how many others they have scammed out of money.
We're sorry to hear about any trouble with canceling your subscription. Per our Refund Policy, we can only issue refunds within 30 days or however many charges may have incurred after you emailed us due to support delay. That said, it sounds like one of our agents was able to issue a partial refund as a courtesy exception and I would be happy to possibly escalate your case further. If you already emailed us, please update this review with your ticket number so I can find your ticket. Thanks in advance! -EC
Tried canceling account 3 different times, then was charged. Thankfully I used my Discovercard so I can dispute the charge, but seriously this company is just a scam. Stay away.
Hi Hayden. I'm glad Discover has your back, but I want you to know we do too. Our customer service team would be happy to help you cancel your subscription and reverse the unwanted charge. Would you please email support@scribd.com so we can sort this out? If you have the order number from the receipt that was emailed to you—or your username—it would be great to include those, but we can help even if you don't have this info. I'm so sorry for the frustration. —Jerry, Manager, Scribd Customer Service
I, I cannot cancel my subscription from Scridb, already tried with all my emails, facebook, etc and all the accounts says i am not a "full member" or an active plan, but i am receiving TWO debits from my credit card:

I need you to take off me from your page and STOP charging me this.
This is happening for the last 5 months and i need a, refund for this.
If you need anything else, let me know, thank you.
Thank you for informing us! Please know, we cannot charge a canceled account nor a single account twice so something is likely wrong with your account. So we can help you, please use this link to submit a ticket; https://scr.bi/assist and one of our agents will assist you ASAP
I have been charged 8.99 USD today and I don't event have an account! How am I supposed to cancel or get a refund when I can't sign in? What a scam company!
Hi Lise, we're truly sorry for the frustration with this unexpected charge. The only reason you would be encountering a charge from us is that you have an account with us with an active subscription, which may be listed under a different email address that you're submitting when trying to log in. Please create a support ticket with us here https://scr.bi/assist so we can get you a reply for a resolution to this as soon as possible. Thanks! -AR
I signed up for a 30 day free trial and loved it, decided to continue with the service. When my 30 days were over I was double charged ($8.99 twice). I figured this was a fluke so I just let it go. 30 days later I'm double charged yet again. I sent them a message, no response. Sent another message a week later, still no response. On the other hand I initially joined because of the "unlimited" amount of audios I could access. Turns out "unlimited" is about 2-3 audios a month then I only have the option of a very limited amount of no name books and classics that don't appeal to me at all. Again, very minimal selection even of these. So I cancelled and proceeded through all these pages (seems like it was 5 or 6) to "confirm" my cancellation. Get into the app today and it looks like I never cancelled. So I went through the process yet again. I'm due to be charged again in 2 weeks if this cancellation doesn't work and I don't want to give another dime to these lying crooks! They still owe me $18 for the 2 months I was double charged! Absolutely DO NOT recommend this for anyone. I will stick with audible. It's more expensive but at least they are honest and their customer service will actually respond to you and resolve issues.
Hey there Ashton - Our support team can definitely assist you with this! It's most likely you have 2 active subscriptions on separate accounts. Please email us at help@scribd.com, then update your review with your ticket number and we'll reach out to you shortly. Thanks!
Downloaded a textbook to my computer and everything worked fine. After about a month when I no longer needed the membership I canceled. The textbook is now "corrupt," I can't delete it or open it. THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM. Pretty sure I downloaded a virus on my brand new computer using this service. I wouldn't trust downloading anything from this scammy site
Hey Audrey. We sent you a message last week for additional information to assist you with the issue you're having with this textbook and your computer. Please email us at help@scribd.com and we'll be able to further assist you. Thank you. -Donni, Scribd Customer Support
Saw a charge from them on 6/9 (yesterday). Immediately checked my email to see if they had sent me anything as I don't check my email often. Found that someone had registered for an account and obviously had access to my credit card information and email. I am unsure if this is someone I know or don't know but regardless I was unaware of this and did NOT authorize this charge. I didn't even start this account and the worst part is I don't even know how to get into the account since I don't have the password. And I am now being charged for something I personally never even registered for or utilized and cannot even stop.
I want this account to be cancelled immediately as I do not have access to it, did not authorize these charges and most importantly I want to be refunded.
Someone please help as to what I do?
I see horror stories on this site and I'm really hoping I don't have to fight tooth and nail with this company but I will if I have to because this is not even right. I never once got an email indicating that I would even be charged which is what I went into my email to check.
Please tell me how they can refund me... this is absolutely incorrect. I will be contacting my credit card company but am hoping I can resolve it with the company first.
Again, I really don't know who got access to this information and how and am extremely upset about that but more importantly i do not know if it is someone I know or don't know.
Anyone who can help and offer advice would be much appreciated.
Hi Andrea - I'm so sorry to hear about your unexpected charge and we will absolutely cancel this account and issue a refund. Please send us an email to help@scribd.com with ATTENTION JAMES in the subject line and I'll personally resolve this for you. Thank you!
I hate sites that won't let you know what they're about unless you enter your credit number. If I'm offered a 60 days free trial, Give me that. Don't ask me for a credit card number!
Hi Gus - I'm sorry to hear about this. We ask for a credit card so we can provide seamless service once your free trial ends. If you have any questions, please email us at help@scribd.com. Thanks!
Two years back I subscribed to scribd to read some books and documents, however after not using it for awhile decided to cancel. Months later I found that scribd was still taking away my money, so I went into account settings to realise that it wasn't cancelled. So, i cancelled AGAIN. Now in 2019, I realise that scribd has still been taking money from me. I CANT STAND THIS ANYMORE. I went into the account settings to find exactly what a scam looks like, once you click cancel subscription, it comes up with a fake page intending to give you the impression that you have already cancelled. BEWARE- you need to scroll all the way down til you see this tiny looks that says something like, proceed to cancel. Only two pages later, will you actually be able to cancel subscription. THIS SKETCHY AND DECEIVING TRICK has made me so anxious that I am checking every week into my account to see whether I am still subscribed.
Hi there Angela - Our support team is more than happy to confirm your cancellation and issue you a refund for the confusion. Please email us at help@scribd.com, then update this review with your ticket number and we'll reach out to you shortly. Thanks!
I canceled my membership late 2018, and I am still being charged exactly today. I have emailed both the Support and Help email. Please do help to sort this out soonest!
Thank you.
Hi Afiqah - I'm sorry to hear about your unexpected charges. Could you please update your review with your ticket number? That way, I can take care of this personally. Thank you!
I joined Scribd 5 months ago. I used it for one day only! I cancelled my membership the same day.
5 months later I accidently found out that I have been charged $9.99 each month!
What a scam!

We’d be happy to investigate this and stop any further charges!
