JustAnswer Electric Technician

I texted this website to have advice regarding a failure I had with my fridge. They ask for a $2, which I agreed but then they asked for an additional $53 that I refused.

A couple of days after I see what my visa was charged with the $53 and I was just impossible to get customer service on the line to complaint about it. One month after I got a call from my bank asking if I just authorized this company to charge for a second time $53. My bank immediately blocked my card.

This company is a scam and they keep charging to your visa card. They are very unprofessional and thanks to my bank I was able to stop them to keep charging my credit card over and over.

I would like to get reimbursed from them the monies I did not approved.($53) as the second time it was my bank that was able to take care of it.

I would recommend anyone wanting to used them to be very careful.

Claimed loss: The lost I incurred was for $53

Desired outcome: I would appreciate a response back from the company to apologies and refund me back for the unauthorized monies they took, $53

JustAnswer Just Answer therapy

I had a question for the website. For a therapist I approved a $5 charge, and when they tried to do a $50 call I refuse and said I was not I would not pay.

He still charged me for it. Now my bank is overdraft and I'm going to be overcharged again. I have no idea why this website is still charging me even though I refused. This website is a scam and they don't even help you.

I can't even talk to customer service because it's asking me for more money I don't have to begin with.

Desired outcome: I want my money back.

JustAnswer Unauthorised credit card charges

TechFixer Order No. [protected]-970

On 18th Sept 23 I contacted one of your advisors through your Chat link concerning a problem with our washing machine, there was option to talk over the phone for £16 which I declined. The suggested reset worked once then not again for which I agreed to pay £1, maybe foolishly by card.

Four days later whilst on holiday I found my card had been suspended and the card people said it was because of a unapproved request for £35 from you, I agreed that it should have been declined as I had given no authorisation for the payment.

I have just checked my statement and find that you have requested and been paid £35 on the 30th October; then looking back I have found a similar payment which I had missed on 30th September, just a week after it had been initially declined.

I shall be contacting my bank to find out why these payments were made after agreeing with them they should be declined.

My case is that at no time was I offered or agreed to a subscription service and I therefore request that the £70 taken be repaid into my card account and that my credit card details be removed from your system.

Richard Wall.

Claimed loss: £70

Desired outcome: Repayment into my credit card account and removal of my card details from your system

Back in Oct 9, I made a call. The website said I could pay and not be a member. I did not want to be a member but pay for the call from the vet. Needless to say the misleading information resulted in a $2 and a $42 and a $39.70 charge that day. I however did not notice this.

JustAnswer Legal Advice

I was not only overcharged by this business for a fee on their website, which was also an incredibly deceptive and awful marketing scheme. Their online chat says that you pay a $1 fee plus a $55 membership fee, which is still under $60. When you pay on their regular online page for legal advice, it is $5 plus a $45 membership fee. Somehow I was charged a $60 membership fee PLUS the $5, which is not stated anywhere. In addition, the answer to my question was generic, not helpful, and quite literally reiterated what I was told by my apartment complex regarding how to handle the situation that I was dealing with. The website says specifically that you are entitled to a refund if you are not satisfied with the answer from the lawyer, and yet I am still not being offered a refund. Their website is deceptive and they are not following through with the exact information that they note on their website.

Claimed loss: $65

JustAnswer Charged Membership without Authorization and Not GIven a Refund

I used the chatbot to initiate a conversation and was told when I clicked on the link it would cost to connect with a lawyer. I entered my credit card information and received notification I was charged for a full membership.

As soon as I lawyer connected into the chat I mentioned I was just charged unexpectedly and they let me know I could resolve with customer service. I contacted customer service during the conversation via another chat and was informed a refund was not possible as I had agreed to the membership. I then tried to reach their customer support via email and was told that I could not receive a refund because I had already talked to the lawyer.

I would please like a refund for the membership I did not consent to, and to then pay the agreed upon .

Claimed loss: $86

Desired outcome: Refunded the membership amount

JustAnswer Everyone refused a refund .

I was absolutely scammed out of $46 . I put my payment information in and my name to be charged $5 to ask one question no where in any of that did I see a terms and conditions that said they were signing me up for a membership , and believe me I inspected all aspects of everything I type and read on the site . When contacting customer service I was service with automated responses and refusals to refund me even though I realized just after I asked a question they had charged me and canceled out the membership they had signed me up for . I would like a full refund for the $46 I was charged . This is so disappointing as I’ve used this site before with no issues .

Just Answer deducted USD55.00 in Sept 2023 and Oct 2023 without my consent, what a scam! My immediate solution was to instruct my bank to cancel/block my card in rage, when I was told that they were not able to help me and suggested for me to cancel my non-existing subscription with this damned service. NEVER AGAIN! and I will condemn such online suckers at every opportunity!

JustAnswer Just answer membership scam

10-26-23

I used just answer once for at TV problem. Which answered my question about a month ago. Today, I was charged another $55.00 on my credit card!

I contacted your people and found out I was enrolled in a membership with them, which I canceled right away and requested a refund, which I was told it is not refundable! Now I'm pissed! I did not knowingly sign up for a membership. I see you have tons of complaints about this on the internet.

It's a bad/sneaky way to do business! Shame on you!

I want a refund and no further billings from you right away to the same credit card that I used with you.

I will never recommend or use your company ever again!

If this is not resolved promptly, I will contact my lawyer about it.

JustAnswer Refund the $86.00 to my ctfs acc. Thanks.

I'm looking for legal advice online. Here is the page that may have a answer yes? Oh. Two dollars from my credit card... mmm Ok. What's Two buck, eh? Whoa, a notification said $2 then another for $86. Wait. Can I ask a law question first? Wait. Do I even want to now?

I've changed my mind. This was as dumb as any dumb idea I've had for $2!

Please refund the overmount. Keep the two bucks for my dumb curiosity.

No. I do not want a legal answer. I'll simply ask the lawyer I do have for more of their time.

Desired outcome: Perhaps future customers may praise a website like this that seems less like to have a shady spectrum at the financial window. Just fix the entry of that window. please.

JustAnswer Legal department of just answer

I came across the above company by accident and read, what I thought was a legitimate company offering advice for £5.00 up front. I innocently asked one question after I had paid by credit card and at the time was satisfied with this company. Little did I know they took (fraudulently) in my estimation, a further payment without my consent or knowledge of £50.00 the next day. I did not realise this action had taken place until my monthly statement arrived. Too late to retrieve.

Luckily, but obviously too late, I cancelled all further payments when I realised this fraudulent action had been taken. The first payment of £50.00 was taken the day after paying £5.00 for the advice given. This apparently would continue ad infinitum had I not cancelled the payments.

I believe I am not the first person this activity has been played on unsuspecting people.

I would now like a refund of my £50.00. as this was taken from my account as I have said, without permission or my knowledge. Nowhere on their site was this information made available that further costs would be incurred after contacting this company.

Desired outcome: A refund of my monies £50.00.
