Fraudulent company. They shut down your account without giving a valid reason and run away with your money. Both advertisers and publishers should avoid them at all costs

Absolutely useless
Absolutely useless! Charge so much for no return! Very disappointing service! I do not recommend!
Taboola Is A SCAM (In My Eyes Here's Why...)
Taboola Is A Joke. I Have Been Reaching Out To Them For Many Months Asking For Simple Assistance With Policy Questions Regarding My Unique Situation And They Won't Even Mention Why They Rejected My Ad.
It's A Topic That Google Display Network Allows Yet With Taboola The Topic Seems To Be A Problem And Even Then I Can't Reach Anyone For Simple Guidance. Even through their "contact support" form that doesn't work.
As Far As I Am Concerned Taboola Is A Scam.
They Took My Money Knowing What My Ad Content Was, And Didn't Reject My Ad Until After I Loaded The Account With Cash And Started Paying For The Campaign and Service.
If Taboola Wants To Address My Issue NOW, Because I Left A Bad Review.... That's fine.
check out these top stories before you leave
more and more websites are using taboola scam clickbait ads, using interstitial pages when you press the back button
it's very annoying, it's a loss of time, and you must push several times the back button
I recommend using ad blockers
This service sucks
This service sucks. As you can already imagine, you shouldn't use this service at all. Probably low-quality traffic and I can assure that the review and support team suck. The only real thing are the ratings on here.
This company is a scam - AVOID
This company is a scam. I signed up without reading reviews (major mistake) and within a few hours I started getting visitors to my website. Quite a lot too, but I noticed that these visitors were not staying for me than 2 seconds. They were also not interacting with the site etc. I know this because of a live chat tool that shows me the live actions of visitors on my website. It soon became clear to me Taboola was just sending bots. So I immediatly contacted their customer support to stop the ads and delete my account (as its quite hard to do so manually on their website). They stopped the ads and deleted my account but then attempted to charge my bank card £50 - 14TIMES. Yes FOURTEEN times in a span of 6 hours. I know this because I get notification every time they try. It has now been 3 weeks and every day they attempt to charge my card. Anyway I have emailed support every other day and get no response. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!
REAL scam guys
REAL scam guys. NEVER trust them. They are cheaply looting people. with cheap tricks.
I'm editing again. I paid them money for ads. And after payment I just could not understand what was happening. I didn't get any access to any dash board. I just could not make out what was happening with my money. Somehow made it to asking them for a refund. Which I successfully got back.
Stupid and Idiotic
Horrible, its literally clickbait. Disgusting and intrusive, ROI and performance lies, like its like a scamming box - UK over 60's have to try this. Manchester citezens get rich after posting this video.
I DO NOT WANT THIS ON GOOGLE
Company Sucks, Don't Waste Your Time
This company is horrible. It sucks. I tried advertising with them at one point and they kept denying my ad/account. For no reason I kept getting denied and of course, no support. Don't waste your money or time. Screw off Taboola, YOU SUCK.
Scam company
Scam company. For 3 years our company has tried to simply open an account on Taboola, but after sending us a password we can never log on.
3 YEARS WE'VE WASTED OUR TIME WITH TABOOLA.
They lost maybe $350,000 in business with us that went to Facebook and Google. Taboola is just AWFUL.
ROBBERS!
Saw their advert on Instagram, filled out their swipe data capture, signed up for £50 maximum limit, for click to a page on my website to see how it went.
When I finally got logged into my taboola account the advert campaign was set at £1550 - so they would have used the full £1550 if I had not notice it and deleted my card details.
TOTAL SCAMMERS..... SIGN UP FOR £50 AND THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN £1550 UNLESS YOU NOTICED.
Never click on Taboola/Outbrain scam…
Never click on Taboola/Outbrain scam ads.
Most of it is random leftover medicines (heart medicine et cetera) being relabeled as miracle cures yet circumventing government approval. You better hope that they only took your money and ran. Never buy medicine outside of approved pharmacies.
The ads promising that you will become rich quick are also scams. If someone had a perfect recipe for success, that person would just borrow money and reinvest until the market is dilluted. If they just want your identity for something, you may become a scapegoat for money laundering and end up in prison.
Stay away from them
Stay away from them. They send invoices, also if you do not use services. I contacted also my company lawyer. STAY FAR FROM THEM
It seems that all their advertisements…
It seems that all their advertisements are suspicious and lead to viruses. A blight on the internet.
I can't log in or reset my password…
I can't log in or reset my password since I signed up and give them my credit card details.
I managed to log in with firefox, but not with chrome since.
No support phone number / Never answer…
No support phone number / Never answer their emails. Their website is full of useless content. You can't even target a page on your site. You can't see what the ad looks like before it goes live. I've no idea how this is even a real company.
Bad experience
Bad experience. Spent a lot of money with these with pretty much zero return
their customer service is awful
their customer service is awful, they do not answer my email and do not help with my questions
do not recommend them
Sneaky tactics
This company send you an email to offer their services and if you don't reply, they rate your own customer service system badly (within 2 days may I add and at a time like this). Unprofessional, unhelpful and definitely put off by the pettiness, if nothing else.
I started to advertise here
I started to advertise here, lots of fraudulent clicks, I was charged £30 in less then an hour for nothing, what a big scam site, stay away from these crocks
I keep getting Taboola sponsored scam adverts
Speaking as the recipient of Taboola sponsored content, rather than as someone who deals directly with them, I am not happy with the awful junk with which they infest my email homepage.
The content I receive consists almost entirely of PPI claim "services", and scam adverts promoting binary options/forex trading/bitcoin trading sites: these adverts use fake testimonials from celebrities, such as Lord Sugar and Richard Branson, and fake TV spots/reviews.
