JustAnswer “Just Answer”

On 3/2/22 I was trying to connect to my internet service, Ziply online. This company pretended to be Ziply and asked for a $1 refundable fee to connect with a Ziply specialist. I thought this was odd, but went ahead and gave my them my debit card because it was refundable. Today, three 322 I see a charge for the one dollar amount and a $46 amount. Everyone I spoke to online said “I could not get a refund because I signed up for there service”. After a long debate which was a total waste of time, they finally gave me a phone number and that woman stubbornly said she would not refund my money. After debating with her for quite some time she said that I could get a refund, but they have not refunded the money yet or sent a confirmation email as she said they would. This is a total scam and I am very upset

Desired outcome: A refund of $47

I also had 1 question, paid the $1, and was connected to a person who answered my question with one sentence. The fee was deducted from account and the next day another $46 was deducted. I sent an email and was given a list of information to provide. I have given the information in the return email; however in the first response to my email asking for a refund I was told I had been sent an email explaining that I had signed up for the services at $46. I informed them that I had never received an email from them giving me that information. I want a refund of $46 and will never use this service again.

JustAnswer Forced membership fee hidden in agreement.

I went to ask a mechanic a question an the site said only 1 dollar. I paid it. An then after not seeing anything about a membership they bill me $34.00 a second time after the dollar. I called them back an the first call nobody answered an line went silent an then requested a review of my service. I called again an got a lady an she hung up on me when i said i did not agree to any subscriptions i want a refund. I called my bank to put a hold for their business not to keep charging me. Then i called them back today an the man on the line miguel was very condescending an rude. He told me i agreed to it so there will be no refund. I guess these people never accomadate a refund because its all a scam to take your money the first time. They know you wont keep a monthly subscription. Also, my car is still bad an problem wasnt really solved. The guy told me alot of basic info i already knew an his own personal opinion.

Desired outcome: Due to my canceling of subscription i would like to request for a refund for my $34.00. No refund should mean once you use the subscription not lesd then 3 hrs later.

JustAnswer Illegal Unauthorized Charge on my PayPal account. SCAM ALERT

I had a question about What'sApp and there was no way to speak to anyone. I clicked on what I thought was a bot chat and somehow was hooked up with an "expert." After a couple of chats and a request to put a "reimbursable" $1.00 on my PayPal, I realized that I was being given stock generic replies that had nothing to do with my question. I just pulled out of the chat.

Just now I discovered that they charged my PayPal account $60! WHAAAAT?. I put in a complaint to PayPal and then googled JustAsk - It is a total scam and they are illegally charging accounts without permission. Not even any sneaky fine print or confusing wording. Straight up scam! This is ILLEGAL! There are a lot of unhappy, ripped off people and I am writing a certified letter to PayPal asking them not to do business with them.

I will also file with the Consumer Protection Bureau AND since I am over 65, I can file a complaint with Elder Financial Protection Network that fights scams that victimize elders. There are a number of agencies to report them to, and I will post them after this is resolved. Consumers need to fight these practices.

Desired outcome: Not only do I want a full refund, I want their scammy and ILLEGAL practice of charging people's cards STOPPED. In the meantime, anyone who asks for their money to be restored should be refunded upon request.

JustAnswer Credit card charge/Doctor not sharing full name

I reached out to JustAnswer to inquire about unusual behaviors about my pet on 3/1/2022 at 2:54pm. I first engaged in an online chat on the website, who told me about a $1 cancel anytime fee to speak with a vet via text. When I submitted payment information, I saw that my credit card was charged $32.00. I received a reply at 3:30pm from someone who claimed to be a licensed veterinarian but would not share her full name. This made me question the legitimacy of the website and the "doctor." I do not trust this site.

Desired outcome: I would like a refund.

JustAnswer No way to cancel and money is charged without my concern

Hello. I have tried one week trial starting from 9 Feb 2022 until 16 Feb 2022 and paid RM5. On the last day of trial I tried to cancel my membership but I cannot do it so. The only option available is changing your credit card number. So, I thought my membership is cancelled and there is no need of payment and only RM5 charged for my free trial. Suddenly on 28 Feb 2022 I received SMS that my card is charged RM124 from Just Answer. Immediately, I logged in there is a word saying "Cancel my membership". I clicked that. Before this it was not there when I checked on my last day of free trial. I got shocked and chat with them and they said refund cannot be paid. I chat with 3 customer agent and the last one replied as follow:

This is a two way process wherein both us has equal rights and responsibilities. We have given you terms and conditions to educate you about the service that you signed for, and on the other hand it is your duty to read it and understand it. I believe I have provided all of the information that you needed to know about your concern for today. I will disengage this chat session. Please feel free to reach out to us again if there is anything we can help you with. Thank you for visiting JustAnswer.

I can understand their terms and conditions and everything. The problem is this thing happen without my concern. When earlier I search for the cancel button I cannot find it, and I thought its already cancelled. When I said this to them they replied "Again, if you are having issues cancelling your membership on that day, you should have reached to our customer support team and it is on the website and we are open 24/7."

I do know its a cancelling problem, I thought its a process of already cancelled. And that time if I'm not mistaken my RM5 already charged and I thought everything finish already. I already explain everything and seeking for a refund but they say cannot. When I was in online with the first 2 customer agent, they suddenly offline, but here I was typing my reply. I only able to cancel my membership after money charged, where I logged in right after my charge on debit card. If I know I'm a member I will have chat with the Dr after my trial period. But because I know that my trial period end, I did not chat with them as well regarding my pet problem. Since its a auto debit I cannot stop the payment process. They have to stop it. Im a student and RM124 really matters for me. I really thought its already cancelled and that is the process. If I knew it earlier I will sure seek help from 24/7 chat.

Please do solve my problem. Thank you in advance.

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response and I really need to refund. They do not want to understand my site problem. They keep on telling about the terms and conditions.

JustAnswer Membership

I have been having problems with a recurrent fever and sought advice/medical opinions here. I was told I would need to pay $1 for an answer. I'm delirious with said fever and thought I was only paying the $1 for an answer. I was charged $50 for a membership I did not know existed. I know I should have read the fine print, but this specification about the membership fee Is so tiny. and there is no confirmation for the charge I cannot afford that fee right now and really did not mean to sign up for a membership. I have not used the membership. I actually cancelled it. I have been trying to get a refund and I am told you do not refund memberships. I find this quite unfair as I realized my mistake less than a minute after the transaction and did not use any of the membership details but still, $50 is gone from my account for a service I did not mean to buy.

Desired outcome: Please refund the $50 membership fee.

JustAnswer Bogus Membership fees / Fraudulent Use of Credit Card

February 18, 2022

Signed onto JustAnswer in good faith for $1.00. I did NOT ask anyone any questions yet, I did NOT agree to a monthly membership...but I happened to look at my bank statement the same day, and saw that they charged my credit card $46.00 without my knowledge or consent. I called [protected]) to complain..."Jessa" promised that I would not be charged and a refund would be issued, AFTER I told her I would blast their fraudulent practices all over the Internet, Facebook, etc...to warn people of their scam.

"Jessa" texted me on my phone an hour later, which read: ...your membership has been cancelled as of today. You will no longer be billed on a monthly basis.

Note--that there is no mention of getting a refund for the fraudulently obtained $46 already taken. I will fight this until the day I die, I swear...

Desired outcome: Reinstate my $46 to my bank account. Quit using my credit card without permission.

JustAnswer just answer fees

I find that $76 has been taken from my account for the second time. I do not want to pay Just answer an ongoing fee. I remember looking to Just answer for some reason but didn't use the answer and I believe it said that a fee of $2 would be charged. I have now been charged $150 which as a 88 year old pensioner am unable to pay. Please cancel any ongoing payment to you that you believe I owe Just Answer. Keith Leggett
