I gave Just Answer my credoit card number which they were to charge if I was satisfied
with the answer from their "mechanic". The answer came the next day. It was, "Here is the answer to your question..." And that's all there was. There was no answer. I emailed them back and their reply was, "Yes it is just read it." I had my nephew who I a computer expert look at it and he said there was no more to the email than"Here is the answer to your question..." It was then I realized this must be a scam. They had charged my credit card $5.00 and $17.00. I called the credit card company and disputed the charges and told them I thought it was a scam. They called the 800 number of JustAnswer and we had a 3-way call. The man at just answer had a thick Chinese accent. I told him they said they wouldn't charge my card until I was satisfied with the answer. I said I wasn't satisfied and I thought JustAnswer was a scam, I got the refund because the credit card agent was on the line with us. Interesting that when I received the refund it had a tine and date on it that correlated with Beijng China! If 1, 000 people charge $22.00 and then think it's not worth disputing this scam makes $22, 000. If you don't dispute with your credit car company you may find a monthly charge from JustAnswer on your credit card. The Chinese man was trying to confuse the issue and say I bought a prescription to JustAnswer which I said I did not. If I were a little older and confused easily I see how this could be a lucrative scam that targets old people.

Claimed deposit would not be posted until question answered. Rammed the credit card deposit through immediately. I suggestg a class action to get rid of these scam artists. Any Takers?

Just Answer is a total nonsense. Take your money and never able to communicate - frankly typical when dealing with the USA

I asked a lawyer a question on Just Answer. When I ended up consulting with an attorney in person, I discovered that the answer Just Answer provided was wrong. I want my $28 back.

Please would you kindly direct me to the correct department in order to de-register from this site and to discontinue the $16.00 being debited to my account monthly. I was not aware that this has been happening for months.

I trust that I will not be charged for this request!

Many thanks for your help in this matter.

Warm regards

Just Answer is a joke. I asked a neurological question and got a stupid answer. The so called doctor didn't even think about the question, he just gave a bull ### answer. So I cancelled the membership right away, and they still charged me, so now I am in the process of trying to get my money back.

Do not waste your money on this website. No matter what you write to them, they initially attempt to charge you $38.00. They were all ready to "help" me with my problem with the MSN Home page when the problem turned out to be a Denial of Service problem, a problem over which they would have no control. Thank goodness I had enough sense to click off that web page in a hurry and I suggest anyone else do the same. It's a rip-off! Big time.

Some months ago I presented 'Just Answer' with some technical questions; some of which they answered reasonably well, and I paid them the suggested amounts.
On the 19th December, and again on 1st February they took £21 from my account.
I did not agree to this.

This company told me that they would stop charging my credit card in October. Since then, they have changed the charge from just answer for legal advice to just answer for veterinarian advice. I have paid them over $400 in monthly fees and this needs to stop. There has been no answer on their 800 line, and their website does not allow cancellations--DO NOT USE THIS SITE.

I went to Just Answer to ask for advice on how to prepare a Marriage Separation Agreement. I authorized payment of $30 for the answer. When I went to get my answer, they asked for an additional $38. No way! WOW -- WHAT A SCAM! Have asked for a refund and cancellation of subscription - most likely a long wait.

I thought they were a scam operation. Oh, I get it the name is Just Answer and that's what you got. This is the (answer) to your question. Technically they did not lie!
