not a scam
I had six questions that I had posted and Alex Reese, Intellectual Property Law, was able to address to all questions. I was happy with his response to my questions. I was a little confused with the pop up box and I was redirected to a different page that stated that time was expired. Regardless, my questions were general in nature and was pleased with Alex's response. I also feel that the price I paid was fair, because I understand that lawyers need to earn a living and sometimes can be taken advantage of because of their profession.

unauthorized billing for a club you don't want to join
A couple of years ago, I went on their site and got a good answer. This time? A Disaster. Now, they force you to join their stupid club at $28 dollars a month. I had no intention of joining their club. I am happy with per answer charge. I had a problem and went to their side. I didn't mind the $5 deposit on or about December 1 to ask the question. My question was answered with a question. I did NOT respond but they charged me anyway as if they completed the answer. They are wrong when they claim that you must "accept" I didnt accept anything Then they started to charge me for joining their club and for answering my question with a qustion.. about 10 days after I asked my question. I telephoned them and their stupid response, was to read the FAQs and Terms of Service . I dont want to go on their site. I told them them to cancel me. I just got charged again. Talking to their Customer Service is a total waste of time. It appears their system is set up in a deceptive way to create problems. I have no desire to sign on their web site.

I asked a question regarding an automobile issue. I paid the $20.00 fee, the web site said that there were 6 " Toyota Mechanics" available to answer my question. I clicked on the" estimated wait time" button, and it said "approx. 8" minutes. I asked the question at 9:29 a.m. At 2:54 p.m. I cancelled my "membership" and had them refund my $20.00 . At 3: 55 p.m. I received an e-mail that someone had answered my question. 5+ hours to wait was not impressive, after given an "estimated" 8 minute window...Today, I find that my e-mail is FULL of spam ! Just Answer obviously sells your e-mail address to outside agencies to pound you with unwanted/unsolicited e-mails...nice ! I would NEVER, EVER use this company...BEWARE !

unauthorized charges
I signed up to have one questions answered for $38.00. However, when I received my credit card bill there was another charge for $48.00 plus the $38.00, The explanation for the $48.00 was for a membership which I did not sign up for. I emailed the person who answered my question asking who I needed to talk to concerning this and never got a response. I tried to go back on their website and ask the question but it said I would be charged another $30.00. There is no where on their site to file a complaint or to contact someone that could help. I would not recommend using their site to anyone seems like a scam. Dennis
Greetings Dennis,
I'm sorry to hear that you had a problem on the JustAnswer website.
The membership plan on our site is completely optional, the customer has to opt in to the 7 day free trial. If after the 7 days, you no longer want to continue with the membership, you can turn it off in your account settings or you will be billed for the first months membership. If a customer feels they have signed up in error for the membership, they can contact us within 30 days and we will process a refund of the charge.
As is standard with most websites, if you scroll to the bottom of our home page, we have links to FAQ's as well as a 'contact us' link that directs you to live chat, email information and customer service phone information and a lot of other info that explains how the site works. We have no problem processing your refund, you can call us 24/7 at [protected] or send us an email to info@justanswer.com.
I hope that I have alleviated some of your concerns, I assure you we are not a scam. We look forward to hearing from you to help resolve your issue.
Warm regards,

unauthorized charge!!
I was charged $16.00 on 12/18/2015 from JUSTANSWER*ME and I don't know who they are! I want a refund! This is a scam. Nothing was ever authorized. I have contacted my bank. I have no way to contact this company. Please contact them. Sharon Shuchman 4043 Nolte Rd Apt. 1 Saint Cloud, FL [protected]
unauthorized credit card charges
On 29th October I asked legal questions online and the answer I received was satisfactory. A payment of $95.00 was charged to my Credit Card which I was happy to pay. On the 1st December another charge of $95.00 was charged to my Credit Card for a membership I never agreed to. I would like that membership to be cancelled and $95.00 to be credited to my Credit Card account. I never received any information, paperwork about this apparent membership and never agreed to it. I am quite furious at having been taken for a ride and I also think this charge is fraudulent. I really am hoping something can be done about this urgently. Please advise.
Hello,
Regarding you e-mail of the 15th January I would like to advise that my e-mail number at the time was either khummer1@bigpond.com or khummer1@iinet.net.au. I look forward to hearing from you again and receiving my refund of $95.00.
Thank you
Regards
Kathy Hummer
Hello Adam,
You can't find an account because there isn't one. I never agreed to a membership, there was never any paperwork and I never signed anything. So, I don't know where all this came from. I would like you to issue a refund by sending me a cheque to 88 Framptons Road, Childers Qld 4660, Australia and cancel and not take any more payments out of my credit card.
I was happy with the consultation from JA, so I am happy to pay the first $95, but not the one that was charged on the 1st, December. So, I would expect a refund of $95.00. If there is a problem with that please contact me again.
Thank You
Kind Regards Kathy Hummer

Hello,
I have also requested a refund. My question was never answered and also never received a comment about a refund. Due to the many negative comments about JustAnswer I am beginning to feel this site may be a scam!

membership fee charged to my credit card
On 11/13/2015 I used their service for information on truck repair job. I was pleased with their service and agreed to pay $23. for the service. We were so pleased we even agreed to $5. tip for the mechanic who assisted us. Those charges are fine. Transaction reference number MT153180239000010005996 and same number ending in 95 instead of 96. Then they charged another $5. not sure why, but that ref # MT153180240000010002284. Then on 11/20 we were charged $28. ref #MT153250239000010005833, only explanation says reoccurring transaction. I am not pleased with the additional charges beyond the first 2 which I agreed to on 11/13/2015. I expect those fees to be removed. Any questions you can reach me at [protected], or email [protected]@yahoo.com. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely Diane Northrup

money taken from my acct. and no answer
In May I joined just answer to ask a question about my granddaughters condition, every time I tried to get my answer a notice came up saying I need to update my payment info. And it still says that and it is now October 30th. Yet every month since May just answer has taken 51.98 from my acct. On the 30th of every month. I have received no answer still and now do not want an answer I only want the money that has been taken from my acct. For the past six months. I have put in many complaints with no answer. I no longer choose to be a member and want a full refund for the past six months. I am very displeased at how you run your business. If I do not receive conformation of my money being returned I have no other option than to report you to the better business bureau. That being said I hope I receive a reply and the return of my money soon. Disappointed and angry customer Patricia Navia

billing practices - amount to an on line scam!
October 8, 2015 The Just Answers web site advertise "7 day free trial" on the condition that an answer be met with an "fair share" compensation for the expert. : In other words don't ask a question and cancel to avoid paying, "fair enough"! I asked a simple automotive question with an $16.00 charge and received a two sentence simple & obvious answer. (That much I knew and said so in my question.) A second e-mail exchange gave me the technical information I requested. I even tipped the source $8.00. That totals $24.00. The GM expert was identified as M. P. Moore. I cancelled my "7 day free trial" (membership) within the allotted period only to receive two charges to my bank card. $40.00 Oct 8, 2015, and $40.00 dollars Oct 15, 2015. A call to billing about $80.00 charges was: 1. I asked an $40.00 question. REALLY? 2. The second charge was for a months membership, Even though I had cancelled and closed the account. 3. They weren't sure they could give me a refund at least for the $40.00 because I had closed my account. After a heated insistence on my part they at least refunded the membership. The question still cost me $40.00.
double deducting payment of credit card
I asked a question on justanswer.com . I filled in my credit card details. I was happy with the answer I received therefore I paid the required R400. I then gave a tip of R140. Six days later a further R540 was taken of my credit card. How do I get my details of this site and how do I get my refund. This is fraud,

don't use it
I tried to ask a veterinarian question. Before they will answer your question, you have to provide your name, email, credit card information, answer questions about whether or not you want to enroll in a monthly unlimited questions program for a month to month fee or just ask a question for a one time fee, etc. I got everything entered, asked my question, and was left on the hook for 2 hours. After 2 hours, they took a $5.00 deposit and closed my question with no answer. My question had to do with my dogs getting into some food that could be potential toxic. After 2 hours, does it really matter? At this point, they have started to digest what they got into. I was led to believe a veterinarian was answering my question, as her face popped up in a message box like I was almost Skyping her along with her experience and credentials. After 2 hours, my question was closed with a message to call Customer Care with any questions. I spent another 1/2 hour on the phone with a representative explaining to me how their system works and still trying to get me to spend the $19 quoted for an answer. I would not use this service again or recommend using it.
unanswered questions charged for
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...

According to your advertisement for use of the program, this was supposed to be "free" for trial. Apparently, this is a fraudulent advertisement and a "bait and switch" business. My wife did NOT AGREED to subscribe to your program. She was not able to gain access to the "physician" or whatever. But we are being charged? We will notify our bank to cancel these fraudulent payments and I will be contacting the BBB, Federal Trade and Commerce Department, as well as our State Attorney General and State Trade and Commerce Departments, if full restitution is not received within 15 days, the 21st of February 2015.,

unauthorised transactions
This company must have scammed tens of thousands of people. Anyone out there willing to sign up to a class action against them. A couple of dozen victims is all I need to get the ball rolling. We would collect thousands more during the process. Please indicate your response and I will pick it up from there on a separate website set up for the purpose. Thank you. Scott

unauthorized transaction on my cc
I had asked them for help in trying to get a connector for my Harmon Karden infotainment system which they did not have an answer hence i did not get the satisfied response and had unsubscribe from the help forum for which they charged a 25$ amount from my CC which was ok. But later for ther past two months they have been charging my CC for over 150$ which i think is ridiculous and un fair to any one have asked my bank to stop the payment but just pulling out money from ones account without prior authorization even after unsubscribe is not a good thing to do rather shows fraud practises on the part of Justanswer.com when tried to reach out to them there is nor response please help as this is not called for and a fraud is committed. i have only bank records to prove the same which i will scan and attach later .

overcharge
Several years ago I used the Justanswer facility to solve a problem with my printer.The answer i received was incorrect, the printer was defective and was replaced by the dealer. I was charged $56 for this service but I recently discovered that $56 has been taken from my account every month.
I should like to cancel this procedure immediately and if possible receive a refund as I did not authorise a continuing withdrawal.
I am 93 years of age and a disabled pensioner. I shall be entering a nursing home soon and would like a resolution of this problem.
It's possible that there is a perfectly innocent explanation of this problem and if this is the case, justanswer would be happy to resolve the issue.
yours faithfully.
Frank Clarke

Marital
i had a marital question. They said it would cost £54 for the answer. I have just checked my bank account and they have taken it 3 times - they now owe me £108! Ive been trying to contact them, but they want payment to be able to contact anyone. What a scam. They are taking advantage of people who cannot afford solicitor costs! I cannot contact these crooks!

I asked one question about the valuation of a china cabinet...their advertising suggests if they cannot the answer there will be no charge however an amount of $29.90 has been debited to my account from these people so i intend to take it to the small claims tribunal in Australia if this charge is not reversed...Heather
Just answer also took money from me, I asked one question that was suppose to be free and the next month I was charged $40.00 I canceled and made my bank aware of the problem. Luann Burris

Never use a credit card on any website, use a debit card with a small amount deposited, this way JustAnswer.com aka Pearl.com, aka Eanswer.com aka Answerbag.com cannot "ACCIDENTALLY" sell you as they do EVERYONE a monthly subscription
They can still "ACCIDENTALLY" bill you twice, however, and it is by design as is the shady barely legal business model that has a
"RATE" the expert and a "ACCEPT" the experts answer instruction, BOTH of which are billable events!
Since 2008 JustAnswer.com has had the same complaints almost without exception, 1 is monthly billing for unwanted subscriptions, the other is double billing. For a site with allegedly 10, 000 experts, one would imagine at least 1 expert has an idea of how to stop accidentally credit card skimming and accidentally selling everyone a subscription, but to date there has not only been no answer there has not even been any modifications at all to the websites functionality!
But why should they when as long as when BBB is called JustAnswer refunds the money it has stolen, it receives a AAA rating
as does every online con who is smart, they thern tout the rating as meaning something, Well try calling the refund # before you jump into the JustAnswer cesspool, the sites functionality is very poor and often blamed if not the customer for being at fault!
The Bar association has found JustAnswer.com a scam and advised to not get involved to their attorneys
They say double speak hides the fact they are selling advice which is illegal but slo is tax evasion and JustAnswer.com admitttedly gives nobody any tax records etc ever! IRS considers one a captive employee after several months, hence the rollover at JustAnswer in addition to the trolls abusing the ratings.
