Hi Mateo, Thank you for following up on this. I sincerely apologize for any confusion here! Scribd, Inc. does not sell books or other products directly, nor do we offer access to physical... See more

Yet another scammy parasitic company eager to grab your money. Thanks for your honest reviews folks, you saved me from signing up with those.

Like many others, it seems, I got charged after my free trial even though I'd canceled it. But after no joy getting the money back through PayPal, I figured I may as well go and use the month I'd paid... See more

If I could give it zero stars, I would. I canceled my Scribd subscription during the trial period, yet they still charged me. When I requested a refund, I provided everything they asked for — the... See more

Cancelled before free trial ended, they still charged me! Then it took many back and forth emails to get refund and confirmation of cancellation. Then they charged again the next month, did the same b... See more

They sent me an email saying that they would remind me when my trial ends. I received an email a week or so later, saying we hope you are enjoying your free trial. Nothing after that. No end of trial... See more

I never subscribed to scribd not even knew them before I got charged yesterday out of nowhere. I checked if I had an account there, maybe I just didn’t remembered but no, I don’t have one and never tr... See more

Diabolical, copyright theft on an industrial scale. They absolve themselves by blaming the copyright thieves that have uploaded to the Scribd site. They won't share the contact details of these thieve... See more

Wish I could rate 0 star. My music sheet in PDF format ended up on scribd.com without my knowledge/consent/authorisation. I reported it and guess what? Nothing happened. Surprise surprise. Look... See more

Scribd are thieves. They allow books to remain available on their site even after being informed of breach of copyright, claiming they need various criteria to be fulfilled first. It is, however,... See more

NOTHING… and I mean NOTHING IN THIS WORLD has sent me into a SPIRAL of WHITE-HOT RAGE like this. First, you make me SIGN UP. Oh, wow, look at me. Typing in my email like a good little soldier, handing... See more

Horrible website and coorporation. Everything they do is horrible, they try to scam with that credit card free trial bs by also having an upload limit daily. If you really want free documents, use a... See more

After thoroughly reviewing my card statements, I discovered that Scribd had been quietly charging me for almost two years—without a single invoice, notification, newsletter, or even a “we miss you” em... See more

Prompts users to sign up for an account to download something as simple as a PDF file. As if that wasn't enough, it then wants you to sign up for a subscription service and enter your payment details.... See more

With my premium subscription I am allowed 3 unlocks per month. However, every book and audio book that I want requires an unlock. So I am very limited in the titles I can download. In the past, it see... See more

When you want to download something from this website, it asked you to make an account then after you wasted a few minuets creating an account they asked you to subscribe to their services.....Greedy... See more

The site seems to be populated with documents which are usually downloadable for free elsewhere. They have a weirdly aggressive approach to monetising a supposedly ‘free trial’ period. I couldn’t... See more

If I could put 0 I would. totally dispicable company - take money without you having a subscription. do NOT answer emails - website difficult to use to get refund for unlawful money taken. HORRIBLE H... See more

Dishonest, id even say criminal. Don't have dealings. Charged £109 for a service i used for 20 minutes. I didn't see any email reminding me to cancel. They could see I'd not used the service, but re... See more

Try to take money from my card twice despite the fact that my subscription was cancelled ages. The Police should look into this company. Especially in terms of its payments systems.

Got charged $12.80 today July 31st (07/31) for the end of the free trial. When I first subscribed I got a confirmation email saying my free trial was started July 1st (07/01). Additionally, the email... See more

I joined today because I wanted to read a particular textbook. When I downloaded the book I found that it only contained the cover and contents pages and not the actual book. Therefore I cancelled im... See more

It requires five uploads, but after that, you can't download anything. The download carousel spins for hours, and if you reload the page, it requires five more uploads. Simply a rip-off.

I used to have an account but cancelled it in 2022. The account is now inactive. In the past two months, however, I have been charged for monthly subscriptions despite the fact that my account is inac... See more

Pure piracy: I see full books of my publishing house, illegal. Seems like fun to download our books for free, but we invested lots of real money and time to make these publications happen.

Scribed offers a free trial. What they don't mention is that it costs $29 (US?) to unsubscribe. So glad I had the foresight to check the process before subscribing. This is misleading and dishonest an... See more

Impossible to log in to cancel subscription, thank God for Pay Pal to block future payments Costs $14.95 AUS a month and $29 US to cancel (according to another review) Stay well away

Scribd’s business model is a masterclass in exploitation disguised as access. For years, they accepted uploads from the public—copyrighted or not—without verifying ownership, and quietly built... See more

Don´t use it, its a scam. Every single document that I downloaded was incomplete or had most pages blank. A waste of money.

Cancelled my subscription August 22 and received a confirmation email. They have continued to bill me.

I have mixed feelings- I love having various audiobooks to listen too- my kids and I listen to a lot affordably. The downside is it’s NOT unlimited. Pretty much monthly we have books removed from our... See more
