Verified ReviewerActBlue has RUINED my phone number.
They refuse to tell me if they are continuing to provide my contact information to candidates.
I gave around $300 to various democratic candidates through ActBlue during the last election cycle. Since then, I have been receiving AT LEAST five fundraising texts A DAY from Democratic candidates since the election ended.
I reply STOP for every message, and it does nothing because ActBlue SELLS your contact information to political campaigns. So my phone number is ALREADY out there and LITERALLY the only way to get the texts to stop will be to get a new phone number.
For all I know, they're STILL selling my information.
I have contacted ActBlue directly, and their response was basically what I've already said. They aren't responsible for the texts, they're just the ones who sold my number.
- I will have to change my cell number because of them
Preferred solution: I WANT THE FUNDRAISING TEXTS TO STOP
User's recommendation: ActBlue is a scam. They make THEIR money by selling donors' information. The texts WILL NOT stop.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Rep responded to my problem ticket with an apology, full refund and possible explanation of the cause.
I made a $50 donation through PayPal on February 1. I then received receipts from ActBlue for two additional $50 donations on February 4 and February 5 that I did not make.
I was unable to contact anyone through the ActBlue customer service phone number, so I submitted a complaint and request for reimbursement online. I have had no response.

Verified Reviewer |How funds are distributed
ActBlue is not easily available to discuss issues I have with the distribution of funds. They do not make it easy to obtain this information.
User's recommendation: Be very cautious about donating money to the organization.

Verified Reviewer |Donation
Yes. Contacted Act Blue and Citibank.
No resolution yet to my knowledge. Please notify PayPal and Citibank to.dismiss this charge on my accounts.
Was told it would have to post. I told my bank and Citibank not to pay. Now, since Oct 9, PayPal is holding the money and only Asian agents talk to me with no resolution. Citibank tells me they are going to have to withdraw the money in two days.
I will then miss my mortgage payment, heat and grocery budgets. Can you do anything from your end? Delete my name and email from donor requests: send smail requests.
I will never donate through PayPal again. Tell Bernie I said hello.
User's recommendation: Do not donate through PayPal

Verified Reviewer |Donate to act blue
Never got a email verification code. So never got a answer to my question about how to donate directly to actblue
User's recommendation: Keep trying
Remove from your list
This is the second time Ive had to contact Act Blue to remove my name and phone number from your solicitation/donor list.
When I make a donation every democrats in the country starts sending me emails and texts.
No wonder people complain about democrat fund raising, stop sharing our contact with every candidate out there. Why not limit it to at least those in our state or federal candidates, maybe then people wouldnt hate yall so much.

Verified Reviewer |Resolved: Too much money taken out.
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. They finally understood my concern, and refunded $250.
Money taken out on 2/25/25. Act Blue told immediately that too much money taken out. THEY NEVER BOTHERED TO CONTACT ME!!!
On 3/3/25 left message with act blue.
Told them that I was an FDR Democrat, but now I'm an INDEPENDANT!!!
To stop my connection with your organization.
I didnt understand when I signed up. That I would continuously get solicitations for money.
I truly thought I would be getting only requests for my opinions. The idea that you would be sharing my contact information with others, never occurred to me! Also the fact that those campaigns cant be stopped. From sending me requests for money.
Because they just get the contact information from you.
It is also extremely irritating. That these seemingly, up front, are only for opinions. But are just fronts for solutions of donations.
IS JUST PLAIN WRONG, BECAUSE ITS DECEPTIVE! I get that businesses want to sell their products & services.
HOWEVER THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE A SIMPLE WAY TO CANCEL THE CONNECTION & STOP YOU FROM SHARING MY CONTACT INFORMATION!
HOW DO I GET YOU TO STOP SHARING &/or SENDING MY CONTACT INFORMATION WITH ANYONE OR ANYTHING?
User's recommendation: Do not let this sort of entity get away with these constant harassment for more money. Give only through direct contact with the recipients!
Complaint
Why do you lie to the American public, telling them that social security is in danger just to raise money! This is an outright lie!
Social security is not in danger. Musk is only trying to get rid of the fraud and waste. All these threats by the democrats is for the purpose of raising money! The Dems are all done.
They have no agenda except for HATE! Very sad.
User's recommendation: Don’t fall for these outrageous lies!
