JustAnswer unauthorized credit card charge and lack of return of initial $5 charge that was promised as a return

Order number [protected]-903
November 22 or 23

I requested help from Bob regarding hundreds of junk emails and how to get rid of them. I was told I had to pay $5 that would be returned when help was complete and I was unsubscribed. I received texts from Bob telling me that I had been unsubscribed when we were finished chatting. ( He could not resolve my problem)
Sadly my texts were deleted when iphone updated.
When my MasterCard statement was received the $5 charge was there and not returned as well as a $66 membership fee which had not been requested by me. I would like these charges to be refunded to me.
I have blocked you on my MasterCard.
Thank you,

JustAnswer stealing and fraudulent activities on my card. a scam

Just Answer is a scam!
I asked two questions on just answer after paying the $5 trial fee. They sent an email saying my next charge would be $46 on the 14th! HOW! I didn't accept any ‘just answer expert' upgrade from these stupid people. When I saw the email, I went on my profile under membership and clicked cancel which is at the button of the page as I had read on their terms and conditions and customer service. Yesterday, 14/12/2019, the people deducted $46 from my account. AFTER I HAD CANCELLED THE SUBSCRIPTION, immediately after this I went back to cancel it again and tried changing my card details but it won't let me. I sent an email to them and a ‘Jeff' responded saying I'm not eligible for a refund, that I agreed according to their terms and conditions that no refunds would be made as a member. I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR MEMBERSHIP! AND THERE WAS NO CONFIRMATION WHICH IS PROMISED IN THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS! they STEAL money from you with the card details you provide under the pretense of and upgrade, then they throw their terms and conditions at your face.
THEY ARE FRAUDULENT SCAMMERS AND THIEVES
I DEMAND A REFUND RIGHT NOW!

The deduction was Listed on my bill as:

JustAnswer overcharged credit card

To Whom it May Concern,

I have just checked my Credit Card transactions and I have been charged with a whopping membership for 41 GBP, after having only asked one question and been already charged with 4.69 GBP for this "trial" as well.
I am extremely unhappy with this and I do not recall having ever wanted or paid for a membership. I would like this matter dealt with and the membership refunded back into my Bank of Scotland Account as soon as possible. I would like someone to contact me via email regarding this issue.

Yours Sincerely,

Susannah Clark

This is unbelievable. I cannot delete my complaint now- I was under the impression I was sending Just Answer and EMAIL, and now my details are contained within my complaint on a PUBLIC BOARD. I am EXTREMELY UNHAPPY about this and I would like my details REMOVED COMPLETELY.

I would like to urgently have this removed. Please can a member of support contact me via email ASAP.

JustAnswer money taken out of my account without my consent

In October 2019, I had difficulty with Skype. One of Just Answer's technicians helped me and said I had to pay R599 for the service but the funds would be credited back to me.

I paid the R599 from my credit card and the funds were not credited back to me. INSTEAD Just Answer has taken another R599 from my account.

THIS IS THEFT. Please stop taking money out of my account and credit me back. I have not signed a debit order with you and the agreement with your technician was that I only paid this amount ONCE and Just Answer would repay this amount back to me.

JustAnswer don't enter, a trial it’s a scam.

On day 7 of my 7 day trial they charged me $30 stating it was truly day 8. I guess for the 7th day they must charge you at 12 AM instead of giving you the full day like other trials? My trial started Wednesday, Dec. 4th and they charged me today, Wednesday Dec. 11th.

I contacted support and they refused a refund. I asked for a supervisor and they said they'd call me back in 10-15 mins. Never got the call.

I called my bank and I will be disputing this formally. If it is a 7 day trial, it should be 7 full days. Not whatever you decide you want it to be, Just Answer.

Also... what kind of question asking service is $30 a month? Yikes. Do yourself a favor and use Google.

JustAnswer I had a free 7 day trial for £5 then I cancelled it, but £40 was taken from my account on the 21 st. november

As I have said above that I cancelled my £5 00 trial but £ 40 00 was taken from my Account on the 21/11/2019 .I would therefore expect to have this sum of money put back in to my account please.As this was a one time search for information from a solicitor ( Which they were not able to answer) I am an old age pensioner and I could not afford the fee they were going to charge me, and then to find out that they had taken £40 I got the shock of my life as I only got my Bank statement this morning.and this amount is 3/4 of my Pension So I beg you to please put this amount in to my account Thank You Teresa

JustAnswer lack of contact but still charged.

I contacted Justanswer to try to help me sort out a problem I had with my Samsung tablet.
I paid the initial £6 for a trial and I was told that I would get a pghone call from an expert if I paid an aditional £10 which I did.
I sent messages to say that after a period of time I had had no contact and to cancel all contacts, suddenly I have been charged with a £16 bill, and would really appreciate it if somebody contacts me to explain the charge as I have had no expert phone me to sort out my problem.
It then seems only fair that Justanswer refunds the £10 call charge as none have been received.

Hopefully Justanswer will contact me a lot quicker than their experts

JustAnswer billing and refunds

Several months ago I had 1 legal question and it was professionally handled and the advice was clear and concise...done deal!

I have recently noted that Just Answer has continued to bill my Master Card a subscription fee. I called their help line and after waiting a bit, the Rep, "Ula" took my call. I asked him to cancel my membership and refund my past 3 months service fee totaling $138.00. He explained it can't be done...policy. I didn't recall subscribing/signing up...it was automatically started on the 8th day! I explained I only had one question and had not used the service since. I asked him to elevate my call to his manager. Ula said manager would call in 30 minutes...never called! I can't find clear and an immediately available customer notice about the subscription practice. The advisor/lawyer mentioned none. Their slogans "100% Money Back Guarantee" and "Satisfactory is Our number 1 Priority" are meaningless.

VP Lisa Contoyannis has a problem with customer service...Consumer Affairs Accreditation Program should check their customer service practices.

I'm 81, retired military and pretty straight forward. I'm sure that I missed the subscription thing...an honest mistake and I missed the hook in my call. My treatment today, though, certainly doesn't seem to track with their website info and reputation. It's not the $138 bucks, now...just being treated like dense fool and taken for granted as a customer does have my attention. Tom Boone, [protected]

JustAnswer canceling membership after trial period

I contactacted JustAnswer for a friend and paid the $5 initial cost for a 7-day trial period. I chatted with an online rep (automated) which was a joke. Looked on their website and it says to submit an email to support@justanswer.com to cancel membership. I sent and email. The next day, my bank account was charged $46. I called the # listed on their website and they assured me that they would investigate and to forward my original email back to support@justanswer.com so they could prove I tried canceling. Not even 30 mins after that, I received an email back from Just Answer saying...Hi There, it looks as though you've send an email to an address that is no longer accepting emails. How can the customer service provide an email address that is invalid. I will contact my bank to flag this as a fraudulent charge. Lesson learned!

JustAnswer unauthorized charge on my credit card.

On 11/27/2019 Just answer made a $46.00 membership fee charge on my credit card. I did not authorize this charge, nor do I want to be a member of this service. I received no prior notification or paper statement of this fee. I wish to have it credited back to my card and my name removed from their roles. Prior to this charge I was installing a Roku system on my TV and had a technical issue. I contacted Roku and was directed to the Just Answer website. They helped me with this issue and I was charged $26.00 which I felt was an exorbitant fee, but decided it would be too much trouble to dispute the charge. But this $46.00 fee is entirely out of line with the fact I had no prior approval.
Thank you

My name is Heather Lesley Ross. I have been having an amount of $78 withdrawn from my CC on a monthly basis plus overseas transfer charge.
This is currently being investigated by the CC company as I was unable to contact your company.
There has been no such agreement for this charge and I request it desist immediately and full compensation for the amounts withdrawn plus the transfer fees be returned to my account.
If this is done within 4 working days I will request my CC company to stop their investigations as I will consider the matter resolved.

JustAnswer taking a membership fee without my authorisation!!! not happy!!!

I paid initial £3 to start a short conversation with just answer only to find out £29 taken on the same day as well without my authorisation. I cancelledj my membership the very same day and request an immediate credit back into my account Of £29. Not impressed at all that it's automatically been taken. If I do not get a refund I will pursue this further through the small claims court.

JustAnswer membership

I had a free trial, and I asked 1 question. Now I see a $40.00 charge on my credit card. Again I asked 1 question during the free trial period, how am I to get charged $40.00? This is not a very fair practice this so called company is using. Please for me could you check into this matter ASAP. If this cannot be rectified in a fair manner, Than it would leave me no choice to drop this so called company like a bad habit.

JustAnswer $nz70 charge on my visa credit card tonight for alleged help which I did not get. I want a refund pls.

About a week ago I had trouble getting into my Google account . Google wanted my
password which I did not have. After contacting google and a live chat person, I was vectored on to JustAnswer.com of which I'd never heard.

I agreed to pay $US2 for trial help but when I was offered an expert for $70 I said I was not paying any money for such alleged help. End of story.

My daughter subsequently solved the problem by finding my password.

Now JustAnswer is trying to wheedle $70 from me. Pls refund the $70 which is hanging fire for payment by the Bank of NZ here. The last 4 digits of my BNZ Visa card are ...7203

JustAnswer withdrawal of money from my bank account without my authorisation

My name is Kerry O'Reilly & I contacted Just Answer about 4 - 6 weeks ago about my hotmail address problem. I had to give credit card details to pay for $5.00 for them to tell me I had a problem! Please fork out another $66.00 & they would have a closer look! Get [censored]ed! Never had any more contact with them again - ever! I managed to fix the problem myself eventually. today 2/12/19 my bank balance show Just Answer has credited $66.00 out of my account - no notification, no invoice, no receipt - NOTHING! That is called [censored]in stealing, STEALING! What gives them the right to [censored]in steal money out of someone's bank account? I want the transaction reversed & the money put back into my account or action will be taken & police notified.

JustAnswer overcharged for service

Their site claimed to continue it would be $28/mo, they then proceeded to charge me $60. complete rip-off and they are liars. I tried contacting them both using their robot "chat" which just gave a link to continue and spend more money just to file a complaint. And by phone to some guy in India who just blew me off. I had to cancel my card and will have to wait for a new one because of this!
