Stop all donations

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

This has nothing to do with the operation of this company. The reason for my cancellation is that my husband has passed, and I don't have the funds any longer.

Once you get involved with this organization, their behavior becomes predatory: they crush you like a snake and will not let go. And this has gone on for years!

They continue to capture anything I try to contribute. I want my name and all records expunged by these parasites so I can contribute INDEPENDENTLY!!

They charged me more than I agreed upon

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They asked for a quick $15 contribution. They then also asked for $4 more to cover something.

That comes to $19, right? I agreed.

They then slapped my card with a $31 charge. It feels underhanded.

Unauthorized contributions

Previous call to Act Blue was never resolved, and I was told that all donations by someone using my name would be blocked. Additionally, I was to receive reimbursement for unauthorized donations.

All I need is a call back re: my refund issue

It needs to be resolved by return of funds. I do not want communication any longer with the campaign; the goodwill time has passed. I will vote for her.

ACTBLUE took money out of peoples credit card accounts without permission . I experienced this more than once. BEWARE of this scam dot com. They take OVER 3% commission without transparency.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Do not use ACTBLUE. They are not transparent about the 3% plus commission and unauthorized deductions from your account once they have your credit card number. Contact your local Attorney General.

User's recommendation: Don’t use actblue. Donate directly to your cause. Contact your Attorney General and Better Business Bureau.

ActBlue has RUINED my phone number.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Apr 25, 2025

They refuse to tell me if they are continuing to provide my contact information to candidates.

Original review Apr 09, 2025
DO NOT UNDER *ANY* CIRCUMSTANCES GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY.
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.

Cons:
  • 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.

So, what you're saying is you were foolish for donating in the first place? I would agree, stop handing out your information and this could be avoided.

I have notified Act Blue Express to stop all automatic donations. They still continue taking them out of my account!

I have notified Act Blue through the website. They said they would stop donations, monthly ones I did not sign for.

They're still taking them out of my account! Cancel my Act Blue account completely.

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.

Original review Feb 08, 2025

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.
