JustAnswer

I have had a payment taken out of my bank via PayPal. I am not a member of JustAnswer, but they said I had an account which was closed down in 2013. I have spoken to 2 customer service assistants and have gotten nowhere. They asked for my email address but said it wasnt recognised. However thisbis the only email address I have ever had. I am a senior citizen and I have ti account for every penny. £29 is a huge chunk of my pension.

I asked a question into their auto chat service after coming across their website, and was told they can have an expert answer my question for a fully refundable "$1" fee, but my bank was charged an extra $46.

When I contacted customer service, they said this is a mandatory membership fee. When I asked why it wasn't disclosed up front, they were dismissive and refused to refund the money.

I did research later and found out they are in the business of doing this - baiting people with cheap prices to get answers, and then tacking on these hidden membership fees and refusing to refund the money unless you contact BBB or someone to help get your money back.

Stay away.

I ran across Just Answer in a google ad looking for remote advice on Sunday, July 16, 2023. I agreed to pay a $5 sign up fee and Just Answer immediately followed that up with a $35 monthly membership charge that I did not authorize. It was a very dishonest way to do a membership fee. I use multiple apps with monthly memberships and they have all been transparent about their fee structure before charging.

I have contacted chat and email support. Chat support said they would give me a refund and then immediately said "disregard that." I have a different representative responding to all of my emails on the same thread also refusing to refund the membership fee.

If it is not refunded it seems the only thing this company is interested in is stealing people's money, not providing helpful links to professionals.

There is a screenshot of a customer care representative agreeing that I was right and that I should get a refund and then going back on it immediately.

What a hoax. I paid the $5 as requested and put the question in the chat. After a length of time an attorney texted me and a pop up came up asking for more money which I declined. The attorney texted that your service was not intended for what we were asking and referred me to other sites. I immediately went on line on my account and cancelled the service. I expect a full refund. I NEVER AUTHORIZED A PAYMENT OF $60. I expect a full refund. This is a scam. If you want the $60 ask up front. Don't do a bait and switch on a $5 charge.

I had until June 8th to cancel subscription. I went on and spoke to whomever it was and it was canceled. Before 8pm on June 8th.

Today they tell me it was closed on June 8th but the payment has already been sent to debit my checking for the $46.00.

because the next payment for 46.00 was processed to be taken out of my account there is nothing they can due. The payment is non refundable.I am so passed off right now I don’t care if it professional or not.

So this company can let you cancel take your payment out the same day. This is fraud and something needs to be done. This is how they are making their money and is very very wrong

I want my $46.00 refunded to my checking account. I am not the 1st person they have done this to. But nothing has been done so they continue to do it. I feel sorry for the workers. They have to hear the complaint and nothing they can do.

I signed up for 1 dollar service which clearly stated "completely refundable" when entering my credit card details. Later I was offered an upgrase to a higher expert advisor to which I declined.

When done, I noticed that I was changed for a total of 46+1 usd!. When complained to them, they shared a different screen shot of the billing page that is not stating "completely refundable" as it was on the page I saw when signed up!

I asked a question back in 2022 and cancelled my account after the 7 day trail. I went back yesterday and an asked a question and they RENEWED my account without permission and took out $35 dollars. I wasn’t asked. I didn’t want a membership at all but now I can’t get ahold of anyone to get a refund. I didn’t find out about them “renewing my membership” until this morning. They sent me an email telling me they renewed my account and it was $35/each month WITHOUT PERMISSION TO RENEW MY “MEMBERSHIP” that I did not sign up for

I signed up for a $7 refundable service, didn't get any direct answer and was billed $30. I was denied any refund at all but customer service says I can still use the service even though I've canceled but I asked another legal question just to be asked about details then directed to another payment page, so frustrating!

There 'continue' link at the bottom of one of my pictures below does not work I even opened this in a new browser, nothing!

So I told a attorney my business and this attorney name Theresa JBS said everything is confidential and boom this so called attorney put my information on this website after I did a cancelation with this website same day and ever since than these people stole 46 dollars from my bank after i did a cancelation... what the he'll this ID a 2.billion lawsuit for this business and company... I swear ima going to take this to homeland security for false allegations they're aren't real attorney or lawyers... omg I was telling a scammers the whole time about my business and these people don't even know me...

30th May 2023, asked a question but apart from paying my initial £1 signing on fee did not get the answer I was looking for. On 02nd June 2023 I was withdrawn from my account the sum of £35 payable to Just Answer, again on 30th June I have again asked for £35 from the same source. At no time did I agree to any service agreement with this company nor would I want to.

I have attempted to contact the company to see how/why this has occurred and to find out my “membership number” which is unknown to me and cancel any membership that may exist, but did not receive a reply therefore I am lost as to what to do next.

I called Just Answer on Thursday, June 22 for advice on trying to repair my flat screen TV. I was told to buy a new one. I accepted the charge of $5 for the advice, which should have been the end of it. Now I see that on Sunday, June 25, I am now charged an additional $55 for what must be a call that I never made. If the TV isn't worth repairing, fine. However, why is this additional charge added on to my account 3 days later without explaining anything? I made NO additional calls to Just Answer, and at this rate, I will not be making any additional calls in the future...

On Friday p.m., 6/23/2023, I was trying to get information on a Whirlpool Double Oven that would not operate/work. Somehow, in searching Whirlpool sites, I was transported to a JustAnswer site. Wanting a quick answer as what to do with the oven issue, I reluctantly clicked the button to pay $5.00, in hopes I would be put in contact with a Whirlpool representative. Instead, I assume I spoke to a JustAnswer person, who knew nothing about what I needed to know, other than to say call an appliance repairman. Today (6/28/2023), I noticed a $40.00 credit card charge to JustAnswer. I did not sign up for any extended membership with JustAnswer, and have an e-mail from JustAnswer that any account with them was canceled. I would like a credit card refund for the $40.00. This whole issue took about 15-20 minutes on Friday p.m., 6/23/23, and JustAnswer wants me to pay $45.00. I had no knowledge about a membership or a $40 ongoing monthly fee. I am okay with the one time $5.00 charge, but would like the $40.00 refunded, and a confirmation that any "membership" that resulted from this brief encounter is definitely canceled.

On April 15th I used their services and was told the question would be $5 then I was charged. I was immediately charged $15 then after they answered I woke up to an overnight charge of $46. I reached out they said they'd refund it and they didn't. I was charged again on 5/10. I called again and spoke to a Jeff Cavalleni and he sent me a cancellation email but then again on 5/22 and now again today 6/28 they tried to charge the $46 and my credit card denied it. I called and the horrible customer service agent said she would not refund a thing but sent me another email saying it was cancelled. They are the worst company and are scammers.

I signed up for legal response regarding real estate issue on May 26, 2023 for one time use. charged 60.00 immediately.

Charged another 60.00 on June 26, 2023. Called toll free number for refund and was told fee was nonrefundable because I signed up for membership. I complained vigorously to the CSR but was told they will not refund fee but would cancel account.

I want my 60.00 returned to my account NOW

I was charged a reoccurring charge of 55$ as of today June 25th about 1 hour ago, I called instantly for a refund of the 55$ as it was just charged for a brand new month today. I only used it one time and ended up paying the company roughly 133 for another service that I used plus 5$ for the trial period and an additional 60$ dollars. I want a refund for the 55$ that was unused and literally just charged an hour ago, I have called numerous times, emailed, chatted in, they refuse to do anything about it. absolutely disgusting.

I came to JustAnswer to seek help for a concern of my dog. The Ai said it would cost $5 to speak with a vet not disclosing it is a membership fee of $35. I put my billing information in spoke with a vet and got answer. Everything was fine until I saw my account was in negative because the charged me a membership that should have been discloused to me by the AI before directing me to the billing page, not at the very top of the page in an easy to miss spot! When contacting the customer service about this, they just said I should have read the top of the page and not go under the pretense of what the AI told me, then what is the point in having us speak with an AI!

I was unaware I was being charged $65.00 for the service. I was under the impression the charge was $5.00. I want a refund of $65.00 paid back to my Pay Pal account.

I spent 25 minutes waiting for a response to my question and was under the impression that the fee was $5.00. Otherwise, I would never have waited 25 minutes. This company is a total ripoff and should be investigated for their practices.

On 21st June I contacted Just Answer with a question about a Parking Charge Notice I received. After the initial contact online, I was passed to Traffic Law 'expert' Ben Jones who asked me two questions for more information on my case. At this point I was happy to pay the £5 required to receive the answer to my question, however I was then told it would be easier to talk by phone and did I agree - I must stress that this implied the call would be at no extra charge so I agreed. I then became apparent that this call would cost me £43.68 and I requested that we do not talk on the phone but continue by text online. I received no further communication from the 'expert' Ben Jones although I sent several messages asking if the conversation was still ongoing.

I then checked my bank account and found that in total, £48.68 had been taken by Just Answer. I have had no further communication and now think Just Answer is a scam. I request that the £48.68 is returned to my bank account immediately as I have paid this money for no reason and have not had my initial question answered.

I WENT ON LINE AND HAD A DENTAL QUESTION. WAS SENT TO A PAGE THAT STATED $5.oo charge for 1st question on may 16th/ 23.
