JustAnswer lousy expert from india

Look at the crap some Indian "expert" by the name of Manas11 sent me. I ran it through a plagiarism checker and it came back 80% of the answers are copied off the web. Why pay when I can google for free?

I thought I could tolerate the poor english of the expert but arghhhhhh, he gives me plagiarized work?

You may like to see the copy of the work here: http://www.box.net/shared/oa4asay4cd

Everyone, do visit JUSTANSWER if you feel generous enough to hand out money for information which others can easily retrieve in seconds for free off google.

Of course I did run the answer through plagiarism detectors online. Go and view the file he/she sent, look at the amount of content copied.

First, If you're not happy - you don't pay. That's the end of discussion. Just Answer provides a virtual service and every single credit card provider that I know of will favor the consumer in a dispute. In order to avoid disputes, Just Answer will credit any refund request.

Some employees are Indian. Others - many many others are domestic here in the USA.

The fact of the matter is that because your deposit is refunded upon request, you can get 100 free answers, term papers, technical work done, medical advice, legal advice.. Whatever... Free... You just have to ignore the ethics and honor system.

As long as you don't mind not paying someone who is working for you, go ahead and give it a try.

I thought the name was familiar! Yes, the so-called expert sent me an entire essay copied off essaytown.com last year and claimed that he did not plagiarize even though I double checked with him again. I (unwillingly) paid $20 for something which I could have gotten for free.

Look at how I foolishly believed him (http://www.justanswer.com/questions/2ic9c-define-marketing-paper )

You can also see his crap answer and his lengthy message to me "Success stories are pretty much complete in themselves and I don’t think you will need more than 8-10 quality references "- HAHAHA!- Yeah- view his crap here: http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/manas11/2009-09-06_072108_Assignment.doc

I am a little surprised as I had pretty good experience with this expert. I worked with him on 3 presentations and 2 term papers and scored over 90 % in all of them and I did run his work through turnitin and plagiarismdetect.com but never found anything wrong. Did you try to take up the issue with him ? . Personally, Justanswer works for me .

JustAnswer unauthorized credit card charging

I used the legal service to answer a question and paid for that use. However, justanswer kept on charging per month without any authorization or providing any service. This is clearly a fraud and the company should be censored and punished for such activity.

My canon i70 printer was having problems, and i told justanswer i would authorize the $38 charge only if their "solution" worked. Their "solution" was "your printer is defective" which i obviously already knew and solved nothing. They charged my mastercard anyway, which i had mastercard reverse.

Kathy, aka kstatonky, aka kstatongroup.com, aka duped prepaid legal services shill, is peddling her MLM program because her job at LifeTrack apparently isn't enough to pay the bills.

She has no idea how Forbes comes up with their lists, and is falling for her own marketing rhetoric. Forbes does not rate companies out of the blue - companies apply and then are ranked against other applicants. You can be a crappy company but still be ranked if either the list is long enough or not enough applicants apply. Getting on that list has absolutely nothing to do with the SEC, however the SEC can investigate any company (on the list, or not) if securities legalities can be questioned.

An example is a national company headquartered locally that was listed for two years on the Forbes list of Top 100 Companies to Work For, then went bankrupt the following year. Investigations revealed gross mismanagement and employee layoffs in the thousands. The only reason the SEC decided to investigate that particular company was because of the method they used to structure their internal business dealings by selling parts of their company to other parts of their company.

Kathy won't respond to me, because her glass house would shatter.

JustAnswer was charged even though I did not agree to accept answer

This website offers various "professional advice" in a wide variety of areas. You choose the area, ask the question, and if you are satisfied with the response you then hit hit accept and are charged for the answer to your question. I did not hit the accept button once I had read the response to my question as it was a basic response to a medical question of which I already knew and did not answer the original question I had asked. Two days later I was online looking at my bank account, and saw that I had been charged by this company even though I had rejected their answer. This website is a fraud and they will charge you for any question that you ask them whether you agree to it or not. This goes directly against the terms and conditions that are listed on their website. I emailed the company but got no response, and their is no phone number or address with which to contact them if you have any questions or issues with their blatant lies regarding their policies and procedures listed on their website.

Dear Haydn,

Again, I'm so sorry to find out that you did not receive an answer. I've also sent you a private message so I can take care of your concerns and provide a refund.

The charge you are seeing is the amount you agreed to pay when you placed a "good faith" deposit before receiving your answer. You can learn more about the way the "good faith" deposit works on our Help page. This deposit is fully refundable and I'll be glad to help you with that.

You paid a deposit.. I think you were not "repaying" again, but likely re-originating a question with the same deposit.
As your question was not answered, your "expert" was not paid... JustAnswer will refund your *deposit* at any time - just ask. It takes 24-48 hours usually. If you don't ask for the deposit back, Just Answer will keep it and start taking $1 away per month after a substantial amount of time.
Note, if you offer to pay $15 for a networking related question, best case, the person answering your question will get about half of that payment. Many questions will go unanswered because the question isn't clear and yes, sometimes, because the amount associated with the question is not enough. If your question would take an hour to research and answer, who is going to do that for $7 and risk that they don't get paid at all?
Note also, once you receive an answer, you can completely stiff Just Answer, recover your money - and your expert won't be paid... It should be called "free answers". JustAnswer provides a virtual service that will almost always be refunded on a credit card dispute, as such, JustAnswer has a no-questions-asked policy for refunds. They can give you the best advice in the world and you don't have to pay a dime. IE: The Honor System.

I had googled a question about my car, and justanswer.com popped up and could connect me to a Pontaic Tech. Ask my question, then was asked how much i would pay for the info. I picked the 9 dollar amount, It plainly stated that I would not be charged unless I was satisfied with my answer, Well, my bank account was charged the 9 dollars, I still have not recieved an answer, so I went back on the site, my balance is 9 $ so i asked my question again, now I was asked if I wanted to pay 30, 40 or 50 for my answer, I asked the exact question, so now like others I will be fighting to get my money back... quite a rip off

Justanswer.com - UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES TO MY CREDIT CARD!
I used this service for one question...just found out that they have billed my credit card account multiple times which was NOT AUTHORIZED! I have contacted my credit card company regarding this fraudulent activity and have contacted a good friend who is an attorney who is giving me guidance on the matter and she will represent me if it comes to that. This is simply unacceptable. On their website they say you can ask for a refund by logging in to your account. WHAT ACCOUNT? I didn't write anything down because I used this service ONE TIME and never expected to use it again. I'm sure that I established some time of "log in" information when I asked the question, but I did not expect to have "an account" I am a hard working professional and I do not take kindly to companies trying to take money from me that they are not entitled to.
I AM FURIOUS!

ADDABAD is right!

And all posters on this forum that have complaints against JustAnswer.com should file them using the TRUSTe website "WATCHDOG" complaint mechanism through the link to their site.

Perhaps as the number of complaints to TRUSTe against this scammer website increase, TRUSTe will investigate and cancel their certification or take other actions against them.

The continuation of complaints against JustAnswer.com. through TRUSTe and elsewhere may also help form the foundation for legal action against JustAnswer.com.

Please continue to inform others and WARN them against using JustAnswer.com.

There are FREE websites available to answer many of the questions people pay for JustAnswer.com to answer.

If you need an answer, first try to Google the question!

AN UPDATE - 4/17/10:

Since my last posting, I have received emails from Mr. Nino Cavenecia:

"Nino Cavenecia
Customer Support Manager
JustAnswer Corp.
[protected] x7908 (direct)
[protected] (facsimile)
nino@justanswer.com"

Mr. Cavenecia addresses the issues I posted about, including that of JustAnswer.com not being recognized as a certified TRUSTe member, and in fairness to them, I am now satisfied that they are.

Why the TRUSTe website showed them not to be a certified member previously(as shown in my post above)I do not know, but Mr. Cavenecia has now resolved that issue to my satisfaction.

Of course, this was not the underlying problem, which was the misuse of my identity and credit card information.

As I know know that JustAnswer.com IS a certified member of TRUSTe, I have filed a complaint with TRUSTe against JustAnswer Corp. and after their review of the details, they(TRUSTe) have agreed that it is a valid complaint and will be investigating it.

From TRUSTe: April 14.2010:

Thank you for submitting your privacy complaint through the TRUSTe Watchdog Dispute Resolution Program. The TRUSTe Compliance Team has reviewed the details of your complaint and we have determined that it is a valid privacy issue for further investigation under our program. We have contacted www.justanswer.com on your behalf and have asked them to respond.

So we shall see...

To the cowardly "anonymous" "JustAnswer "team":

Doesn't your "Customer Support Manager" have a Name? What is it? What is HIS email address? How can I "Truste" you to forward it to him? Why do you NEED to forward it? Why can't he contact me directly...If you are SINCERE?

Attempting to put a positive spin on your criminal actions will not fly.

I have already notified Truste and filed a complaint against you.

And I have closed my account with you.

I have also visited all the websites you forwarded my personal AND CC information to. And closed any accounts you opened for me...WITHOUT my permission and WITHOUT even notifying me. And stopped all the "Free Offers" you signed me up for WITHOUT my permission.

What is the value of contacting your "Customer Support Manager"?
To receive more unhelpful BS from you?

Where the hell do you get the nerve to give out my personally identifiable information, email address, and worst of all, my CC info? Don't you know that's against the Law?

I'm sure you do...but you don't really care, do you?

And I'm equally sure that your absurd post is just scripted and as insincere and patronising as it sounds!
"Again, thank you for taking the time to offer us feedback". Yeah, right!

Please. How are you going to give me back the time I had to spend undoing your criminal actions?

And visit the "Truste web site through your link? Of course it will say you are a "certified" member...on YOUR fake link.

I visited Truste from OUTSIDE your web page and phony link...and THEY (The REAL Truste) said you are NOT a certified member.

That's why they are taking action against you!

Didn't you read my post?
Try again. Or get someone to explain it to you...

JusrAnswer this post...hypocrites!

BEWARE! DON'T USE "JustAnswer"! They have a LOT to answer FOR!
Pass it on...

JustAnswer.com sent my CC information to other websites the day after I paid $13 for a Mac answer
(which I actually found acceptable)

I then began receiving emails from web sites, "confirming my order, "thanking me for signing up for Free Trials, ""Letting me know the Spanish Course I ordered was being shipped", etc.

I was about to call my credit card company when the phone rang...and guess who? It was my CC company, calling me to ask about possible fraudulent activity on my card.

After we went through all the fraudulent charges, I had to cancel my CC account and the bank has begun an investigation
.
I went back to the JustAnswer.com site, as I recalled that they displayed the "Truste" seal on their website.
I clicked on the Truste seal and JustAnswer.com displayed a page saying they were a "Truste"certified website, yada yada yada.

But when I went to the Truste website directly and entered a complaint, they said that JustAnswer.com was NOT a Truste certified member.

I reported their fraudulent use and display of the Truste seal to them and they supposedly will take action against "JustAnswer.com!

I also had to contact all these third parties to get them to stop sending(cancel) the stuff I did not order, and the "Free Trials", etc.

JustAnswer.com did not just sell or give my email address away...they actually gave out my CC information!

These 3rd parties were actually billing stuff to my CC!...and they got my CC info from "JustAnswer.com.

These guys are not just double billers and scammers that don't have real experts to provide answers..they are Credit Card thieves that sell your CC info!

JustAnswer.com should be immediately shut down and the owners arrested for fraud, CC Theft and Identity theft!

GO TO HELL, JustAnswer.com...answer that!

JustAnswer scam

I wanted an answer to something troubling me..went to just answer.com, submitted my question, clicked on what I was willing to pay and they said they had someone registered under my e-mail acct. name and the page would not budge . After repeated attempts to undo the damage because I certainly did not get an answer of any kind because without my e-mail the program would not move forward. I had no choice but to x out of there. I called visa immediately and YES! the amount I had agreed to was already out there on my bill. They have to know no services were received!. Their program was set up by them, duh! I get the next duh!Don't even try to use them. I looked for a telephone number still thinking I could defend my use of MY e-mail address. There is no number. They know what they are doing!

JustAnswer unauthorized credit card charges

For those not familiar with this site, justanswer.com provides the user with access to professionals from doctors to lawyers to directly answer any and all questions you may have. For each question asked, if you like the response you receive, you are expected to pay one of three fees. If you didn't care for the answer or found it to be unhelpful, you're not required to pay. Additionally, before posting any questions, you're required to make an initial deposit via your credit card.

My trouble started after receiving my response from an expert. I had made a $15 deposit and had given the site my card number. After choosing to accept the response and pay for the advice I was given, I was directed to another screen that was not altogether clear in its directions, but seemed to be prompting me to verify how much I was willing to pay. In thinking this, I typed in $15, and, immediately feeling uneasy, checked my bank account online.

Apparently, this screen was prompting me to make an additional deposit so that I could ask further questions and, when I checked my account, I found that I had been charged an additional $15.Realizing the mistake, I immediately contacted customer service by sending one email to technical support and another one to a link which offered a 'good faith refund' on all deposits made. Neither email was responded to, and I simply went to bed that night expecting the situation would be resolved by morning. After all, the second charge had been incurred as a result of my misunderstanding one of the screens, so there was no reason to expect I would have any further problems.

When I woke up the next day, I checked my bank account to see if my $15 had been restored, and found instead that an additional $30 had been added to my account. I was forced to cancel my credit card and send for a new one to avoid any further charges, and, despite sending yet another email, I have heard nothing from the site. In the end my one question ended up costing me a whopping $60, and I'm very disappointed with the unresponsiveness ofcustomer service. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, and would advise anyone who intends to do business with this site to really consider how much the answer to their question is worth to them.
