JustAnswer online help service for appliance repairs

I decided to try the "trial" subscription which I thought was going to cost $5.00. I guess I didn't see the fine print because it signed me up for a monthly subscription and charged me $28.00.
I called to cancel on 3/3, and they processed my cancellation but would now refund the $28.00. They told me I have access to the site until 4/3, even though I didn't want the monthly subscription.
This is a scam to get people to sign up for their service and then they make it difficult to cancel, and they kept the money for services I do not want or need.

I can only hope they do not charge me again next month!

JustAnswer reoccurring membership fee

I have never heard of this company. I have never used this company. They have been charging my amex account $78 per month for 7 months but they refuse to refund my money despite acknowledging that they can not locate an account under any of my email addresses or under the 10 (!) digits of my credit card that they claim they do not see. I keep telling them that I am looking at the charges from them on my credit card with their company name and the phone number that I am calling them on but they said that they can not see the charges so they will not refund them.
This company is a total and complete scam and have stolen over $500 of our money.

JustAnswer just answer

On or about January 31, 2019, I was seeking help for a problem with a Trane furnace and attempted to use ‘Justanswer.com'. I provided my credit card info but was unable to ever get an answer or even a suggestion. I asked to cancel the transaction and to credit my card for the charge. Today, My records show I was charged $38.00 on January 31, 2019. My name is Joseph Otto from Chesterland, Ohio.

JustAnswer refund, no answer given

I need a refund of $46.00, since I submitted a question and received no answer. This is ridiculous, and a scam. Your company is preying on people who are desperate for answers. I was asking about a serious illness I have, and you just took my hard-earned money. The charge was made to my debit card on Feb. 13th, and I didn't even receive any sort of help or assistance.

I'm requesting a refund of $46.00 charged to my credit card in Feb and March of 2021. (96.00 Total)... I paid the $1.00 upfront but I didn't know or see how to cancel. This is very deceitful in how they conduct their business. Please consider my request. I didn't know that I was signed up for this site until I received my credit card statements.
I'm sad that I used this site and know having a hard time trying to get my refund. I won't use this site again.

JustAnswer charged without permission or knowledge.

Hi I used Justanswer regarding an automotive question and click to pay $5 (as stated) to answer a question.
There was a $36 or $38 fee for a phone call so I obviously didnt use that option.
and no other fees were stated.
There was no indication or request or summery to show that there would be anything other amount other than the $5 fee.
I would not have proceeded otherwise.

My account has been charged both amounts for some reason, so I will demand a refund of the $36 - $38 amount ASAP.

JustAnswer money deducted from credit card for? no service given

On 7th January 2019, we were attempting to install a new printer. We thought we were in the manufacturers site and asked for assistance. We were advised that a payment of $5 was required, so gave credit card details In good faith as was advised that the $5 would be refunded if necessary. Before any assistance was given we were able to solve our problem and advised consultant of this. He/she kept asking for information and repeatedly we advised that we no assistance was required. Several emails were sent to us, and each time, we answered that we did not require assistance. On checking bank details, is was discovered that not only was the initial $5 taken, but a further $44 and again $64 making a total of $113. The credit card will be blocked for any further deductions, but hope that refunds can be accepted. We are pensioners and cannot afford to throw money away on SCAMS. My name is Maureen and my partners name was not given. Email address is [protected]@bigpond.com. Your immediate reply and refund is requested.

JustAnswer advice online

I did sign on for the trial membership for $5 and asked 1 question in August 2018 . Before the end of the 30 day trial period, I cancelled the membership which is hard to online. They don't have a form, so I sent them a message. I have been billed $46 per month since September 2018! …. Buyer beware! … I have contacted the credit card company to stop paying & filed a complaint.

JustAnswer avoid this website!!!

I joined this website on their $5 trail basis to seek help with an immigration/visa issue. Though the person I messaged with was very helpful, the company charged me the full $46 membership account fee shortly after my signing up with no notice at all and I immediately cancelled the account within literally SECONDS! They absolutely refuse to refund me. They will steal your money!

JustAnswer legal advice

This is the second time I am having to write a complaint which is quite thought provoking as a result of the way a complaint is submitted.
After being satisfied with the answer from the question being asked from a legal perspective and donating £5 for the privilege, after pursuing through my bank statement, i then found out that an additional £40 was deducted from my account, to allocate me to a membership to this site or company, to which i was not expecting. Is this practice common or normal at have additional monies added to the request for legal advice, masked by having to be put into a membership of something I have not been made aware of. Rather thought provoking. Will look forward to reading the excuse.
