JustAnswer membership

I never approved this membership, what a scam/rip off. I have filed a dispute with my bank. Your company is deceitful and should be taken down. I will do my best to see this happens.

JustAnswer Just Answer Web Service

Pay $5 for a 7 day trial to ask a question to get legal advice. Sounds good.
Even though the site says they will let you know when your trial is up, I don't recall seeing an email of that effect, and I was automatically put into the $60 a month membership. No company should start you into a membership without your approval. Sell a Trial and sell the membership separately. Probably how the company is making their money. If you don't watch your charge card statement closely, you might go several months paying that $60 a month. Very disappointing that this company has to operate this way.

Desired outcome: Would like to be reimbursed for the $60. Did not use the service. Just had one question.

JustAnswer Unauthorized billing

I was charged $46 for nothing. I asked a question a month ago with no satisfaction and was charged $46. I reluctantly paid the bill and tried to cancel. Now I'm charged $46 again this month and I never even went on their website! I'm being scammed to the hilt!
I have no choice but to complain to VISA. No way to treat a disabled veteran.

The website is TECH-REVIEW*JUSTANSWR

Desired outcome: I want my $46 back!!!

JustAnswer Unwanted charges on my card

I simply jus don't know how it charged me for two months for a subscription I specifically declined and it still charged me. I don't even remember agreeing to anything about a payment plan. I saw it on my bank statements a month ago but it jus said bank fee. So when I checked my account today it said it was this website. And I never admitted to paying the subscription

JustAnswer JustAnswer monthly billing process

They were not clear when I signed up for the one week trial that I was committing to a subsequent monthly charge. Because it takes a while for a charge to show up on a credit card I was billed for two months in a row before I was able to cancel. I never used the service but they wouldn't undo the charges. I don't feel that they dealt honestly with me. I have nothing good to say about this service.

Desired outcome: I would like a refund of at least the second month: $46

JustAnswer Service on March 22 re email/cell phone

On March 22nd I contacted JustAnswer with an issue that I could not receive emails on my cellphone but saw new emails when signed on the computer. The Tech "Vishnu" was unable to help me. I stopped replying to text messages and told him I was frustrated and would contact Apple directly. I was under the impression there would only be a $5 charge but when I got my Visa bill there was a $5 charge for March 22nd & a $66 charge on March 31st. Not sure what the $66 is for! I would like a refund of the $66. I ended up contacting Apple the same day and they solved my problem in a few minutes at no charge.

Desired outcome: Requesting a refund of the additional $66 charge

JustAnswer Charge I did not authorize.

I was unaware at the time a made an inquiry that I would receive ongoing charges for "membership" which I don't recall authorizing. No doubt there is something in their fine print that I missed. What I thought would be a $1 question has ended up costing me $ 50.00. I wish to alert others to this scam so they don't get fooled by what looks to be a legitimate site.

Desired outcome: Refund

JustAnswer Not even sure what they do, just took money from our credit account

For about a year they have been taking about $760 dollars, $60 a month from our account. No statement or invoice for any notice at all. We did not know they were doing this. We have never used the service or product they have. We do not even know what they do. When we call customer service, Raven said they sent an email at one time, and the problem is we do not read our emails. She was of not help and I think very rude . All she would do is cancel our membership, that we never wanted in the first place. I asked for a refund she said no, I asked to talk with a supervisor and she said they would tell me the same. It was too bad as we did not see an email that created them the right to take $60 from me each month.

Desired outcome: Please refund our money.

JustAnswer Unauthorised Direct Debits

Hi,

I am emailing on behalf of my mother and father. They called up for a one off £5 tech review help for the kindle and you have set up an unauthorised direct debit and have so far taken 3 x £35 from my account without authorisation.

If this matter is not resolved and the money refunded ASAP I will be pursuing further action. I can see I am not the first customer to be in this position with you.

Please let me know which account details you require in order to have this matter resolved and I will liaise with my parents to have the details sent over.

Thank you.

It seems that you can not get your membership cancelled with Just Answer. They confirm it has been cancelled, but then the next month the deduction went off again...that is fraudulent!

I would never pay for online advice. I checked my account today and see $46 has been charged to my bank account by this place. I call and the rude woman would not refund my money. She said she would cancel it, but no way give a refund. I really don't know how this membership would happen unless I was tricked.

We never subscribed to Justanswer. We can only guess Justanswer is making abuse of our search for on-line help, when we were installing a new HP laptop and transferring our Microsoft account.

JustAnswer this is a total scam

I only wanted the 7 day charge and told them to cancel and they charged my credit card $34.00 on 4-4-21 to my account. My second call on 4-6-21 to cancel this the girl kept saying she couldn't hear me and hung up on me. The next person I got Clarissa told me she couldn't help me because I didn't cancel which I did. I want a refund for $34.00 which was charged to my account on 4-4-21. I was unhappy with my initial contact which billed my account for $5.00 on 3-12-21. They were unable to help at that time. Why would I allow my card to be charged a second time when I was unhappy with my first call. I want my account refunded. I am contacting my bank to claim this charge as a fraud which it is. If this is the way you do business your company is definitely a scam.

Desired outcome: I want my account refunded for $34.00 which was not agreed to.
