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

I contacted the above (info@justanswer.com) to find if if there was anything on the market that would unclog a stopped-up kitchen sink other than the standard Drano, Liquid Plumber, etc. because I tried everything I could purchase over-the-counter and nothing worked. I waited and waited for a reply to my question and nothing happened. I finally sent them an e-mail asking them to remove my question from their service and to refund the $9 they charged against my VISA card. Instead, they charged an additional $15 for my asking them to remove my question and refund my money! I couldn't believe it! They do not post a phone number or mailing address where I could contact them. Now I am stuck with no answer and a $24 charge against my VISA card. I must be a fool to trust a company like this on the internet.

I had the same problem. I feel xitel is a ripoff. You ask a question which doesn't solve the problem. They charge you $28.00. Tried to submit another question...they want to charge another $28.00. There website states that if you are not satisfied, they will charge you...WELLL THEY DID...RIP OFF!

It took me about three minutes to get this damned Justask on my computer, and I have been well over a half hour trying to close my account. Stupid me, for some reason I thought the site was free for any questions asked...WRONG! So, their site tells people to go to account settings or something which doesn't even exist, and to click on this, and then click on that, walk around it, kick the tires a few times, and after SEVEN (7) days they will remove your name and account. Webster's definition of being crazy is: Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result each time. SO, list me as being a damned NUT! It is four times harder to deal with the likes of the government backed Better Business Bureau, AKA (BBB). First you fill out several forms, then more, etc., etc., etc. And still they want to stand on the side of the business. I will go fight with city hall, at least I can win there! Have fun with it folks!

I submitted a question requesting the value of my grandfather's pocket watch. I was played along first paying $5 then $33 then an additional $5. I had told them i was offered $10, 000 the answer i recieved was "Take the $10, 000 because the watch is not worth that much". I continued to try and get a value but never recieved a response.

2/3/19 Charged Membership Fee after 1/27/19 Services

This is a complaint about your own company! I am being auto charged $46 a month by your company and it better stop immediately. I asked for immediate suspension and I will not put up with this. I never knowingly signed up for a membership. I better be getting a refund... Very Shady Business.

I opted to pay £5 for a one time service to answer a legal question from Just Answer. Only realised today that have been charging me for a service that I did not require, or request or authorise. They have been debiting my credit card £40 per month for the last 4 months.

DISGUSTING!

Authorised a payment of £5 but £20 taken from my account. Information required on HP ENVY 5000. Just told to contact the printer supplier - not the best advice - not worth £5 let alone £20. I suspect this is a scam. Please refund £15.00 ASAP.
Thank you. Harry Taylor

I have asked a question and they told me they will charge $5. As soon as I have my card details they took $5 and $33 both in the card. I canceled the questioner and asked for refund. They had only refunded the $5 what about my remaining $33.
I want my remaining $33 also. This is a scam.

My VISA was billed for $46.00 for "membership" I do not want. On the phone: I would not receive a refund. Is this how American business is handled.
This may be short but it is money taken from me and not willing to return.

On 11th April I posed a question (ref [protected]-717) and got an answer. For this TRIAL question I paid £5. On the 18th April I was charged £40 for membership. I did not request on-going membership as I do not want it and I want my £40 refunded. If this is not illegal it is certainly unethical.

Just Answer is a scam. They won't reply to my emails. I have not received answers after my $49 AUD deposit. I cannot request a refund through the order section as it says to call but I am outside the US and don't want to spend more money getting a refund for a service that never happened. I want this money back ASAP.

Bank is not authorised to cancel the payments
There seems to be no way contacting JustAnswer to cancel the account
I did not know these charges will continue.
All I can say this is a scam. Is there any consumer protection organisation that knows how to handle these fraudulent cheaters.
