Verified ReviewerStop all donations
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!!
User's recommendation: Avoid this organization or live to regret it!

Verified ReviewerThey charged me more than I agreed upon
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.
- Helps the democrats
- Feels like a con

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.
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.

Resolved: Unhappy Supporter
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.
