I signed up for a trial membership on Academia.edu by paying 30₺, but on 10 July, 3.000₺ was withdrawn from my account without my knowledge or approval.

However, this new large charge was taken automatically, with no notification, no confirmation, and no added benefits to my mem...
On 14 August 2025, I signed up for a one-month free Premium membership on Academia.edu. However, without my knowledge or approval, 3.000₺ was withdrawn from my Ziraat Bank credit card for a one-year subscription.
