JustAnswer Lawyer

I was told that I would get offered a service, which implied something exchanged. All I got was shock that a, highly rated website would abuse my money and time. They asked for 5 bucks and I unsubscribed, then charged a single disabled mother of 46 dolllars. It's immoral, and I want justice, and I will continue until compensation is returned. That way others looking for advice aren't mislead! They lied and stole!

Desired outcome: 46 dollars

JustAnswer Lawyer

I am a disabled single mother, and I counted on this company to not take advantage of me 7 months ago. I didn't expect to be given bad advice, then ask a refund to be charged 46. This business told me 7 months ago they would refund it. Yet I have yet to receive it. I will continue to post so others don't get STOLEN from. It is a Terrible site, with no moral compass. I fight for the people in the future, and wont stand for this!

Desired outcome: 46 dollars back

JustAnswer Unwanted subscription

My credit card was charged $28 for each month of Oct., Nov., Dec and Jan. I never wanted the "service" in the first place and only now noticed it. I called and got the subscription cancelled but did not get the needed reimbursement of $112. I did not get a reason why justanswer did not give back the money that was fraudulently charged to my credit card. Please get this resolved quickly.

Desired outcome: Reimbursement of $112 to my credit card

JustAnswer It charged me $46 when it said only $1, then also charged a dollar.

Hello, my boyfriend and I used this the other night. We were charged the $1 at first like told and then got charged $46.00. We did not want this and would like it all canceled and our money back. It is very frustrating to have been promised one thing and then lose more money. We did not grant access to that and it was abused. I am getting all $46 back, it is only fair. Please fix this.

Desired outcome: Money back, cancel any automatic payments

JustAnswer Membership fee

I looked at this website for information on a vehicle issue. Was charged $1 for information. They say I was told they would send reminders about cancelling if I didn't want to join as a member. Never received e-mails or notifications regarding a membership fee. They have been charging a rarely used bank account to withdraw $34 per month for three months and now have put that account into a negative balance. They will not refund $102.

Desired outcome: Refund of $102.

JustAnswer Online customer information provider

Looking for answers regarding issues with a gaming console I was charged $68.00 though I did not talk to anyone associated with the online service JustAnwser. The online link to the company was terminated before any communication was made. Research shows this company commits this type of fraudulent transaction often. The company JustAnswer should be held accountable for their illegal activities.

Desired outcome: Refund of $68.00 charge to credit card.

JustAnswer Refund and Useless Help

They said they were going to charge me $1, but charged me $50.
I was not satisfied with the ‘help' I received. It was a copy and paste from another website that I read earlier on. The doctor also said they would talk to me until I'm satisfied, but they stopped responding.

I want my $50 back now. I also sent an email to your ‘customer service'.

JustAnswer The company

This company deliberately misleads people seeking help about their fee's, making you think you are joining for $1 by hiding the monthly charge in teeny tiny print. On the 18th, I was charged a $1 fee and a surprise membership fee of $28. On the 21st I was charged $34, which I authorized, and they also took the liberty of charging my account an additional $2 for no reason. It may only be $2, but it's my $2. I will never use them again!

Desired outcome: a refund of the $28 fee and the additional $2 that they say they didn't charge me.

JustAnswer Membership- Walter (Terry) Newgreen

On Oct 3, 2021, I was transitioning to a new computer and was having an issue with connecting to dual screens. I saw an ad for a $1 question on JustAnswer. I followed up again for a $6 question on the same day. Unfortunately, the advise did not correct the problem. The service providers were very attentive and professional. However, on following up on a recent bank statement, I saw where I was enrolled in a monthly program for $46.00. I must have missed the "small print" and was not aware of the membership. Today, I called and talked with a Margie about this mix-up and was told that it was clearly indicated on the website. I do not recall any indication of this following the ad that I received. She also said that JustAnswer sent me an email notifying me of the cancellation period- which I did not receive. Your records indicate that I have not used your service since that one day- Oct 3.

Desired outcome: Refund the past three months of service ($46/each) that I did not sign up for.

JustAnswer Justanswer.com

They tricked me into a membership by saying the fee to talk to someone was $1 but then they automatically signed me up for a membership and charged me $46 immediately on top of the $1. The pages that I went through to talk to a doctor on did not clearly state that I was signing up for a membership and it did NOT clearly state i was going to be charged $46 immediately. It was purposefully misleading. When I contacted chat for a refund they refused and said i agreed to it. But when a webpage is purposefully misleading it is not a fully informed consent. Last thing I needed when fearing I might have cancer while having no health insurance was a scam company charging me $46 i don't have.

Desired outcome: Refund

just looked at the site for my self to see how it's presented [i seen sites where you need to go through 50 links just to get the pricing. just answer it only took 1 link]. i found right away under the customer section and in faq they state that asking a question is $1 but there are other fees that will be applied for services. these fees [according to the site] will be posted when you put in your CC info on signup.

It could be placed in a different location to be seen better but i see the price listed. maybe you had a glitch or something that prevented you from getting the page to fully load?

JustAnswer service is a lie and scam. My father was asked to pay $2 for a question to be answered. The $2 was taken out then $60 was taken out! Rang the customer service number to know why and was hung up on twice. Claimed they were in the Philippines. I would like the money refunded but You can't trust what the scammers will do.

Desired outcome: justanswer to be shutdown
