This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I was just fraudulently charged $60 for something that was advertised as a $5 refundable fee. I never authorized this payment! It was not written ANYWHERE. I immediately cancelled my "membership" as this is a total scam. I contacted customer support who said they couldn't do anything or refund my money as this was on the billing page when I signed up. Nowhere did it state that I would be charged $60 on top of the $5 REFUNDABLE fee. I formally request a refund of the $65 taken from me as this was unauthorized and fraudulent.

Claimed loss: 65

Desired outcome: Refund of $65

Hello Rachel,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We apologize for any inconvenience.

In checking your account, we've already cancelled your payment on 7/2/2024. Your payment is showing as 'reversed' on our end. This means that we were able to cancel the transaction before the funds left your account. When this happens the charge will just disappear from your account because it was never finalized.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Regards,

Vanessa

I would NOT trust JUST ANSWER...confusing info is given throughout the loan process and when finalizing the process the figures are changed...they confuse the customer to no end

I ha e been scammed as well. Charged $55 for 18 months and when I try to cancel I end up being offered their $5.00 sign up scam again.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this fraud and get my money back?

I was scammed too, told me it will be only 5.00, and they took out 38.00, for nothing, scam for sure.

Replying to comment of william stovall

just went through many conversations to include the lead that is shown on the website. I am furious to how the website is misleading and a charge that I did not agree to. All I wanted was to try the service for the "5.00". I wasn't completely satisfied with the information from the expert but thought for $5 it was ok. I look at my account the next day/today and was charge approximately 24.00 but as i discussed this with support , the amount changed to $38.00. I cycled through many sorts with the cybot answering my questions but at now point that they could explain to me what the $5.00 was for. One did say that there was a join fee and a membership fee but no more details. This highly misleading and unprofessional.
