JustAnswer poor advice

I contacted a company online called Just Answer to answer a question I had about my atv Their ad said quick answers to atv problems from an expert. I chated with a mechanic called RACETECH. One of the first things he said was that he answered my question and I should click accept to pay him. That was before I got an answer! I should have left right then but i wanted my atv fixed. The information he gave me was wrong. He never mentioned there was a clip I needed to remove and I almost ruined my axle. He asked me to pay him about three times and I did cuz i thought the information was right. That was before I checked it out better. I feel that he ripped me off.

JustAnswer refund not given

I had 2 short answers for a computer question which did not solve my problem and i did not authorise the payment yet £22 was taken out of my credit card account. I have tried several times to get it refunded and although it shows up on my justanswer account as money available for refund i can not get them to refund my account. It is impossible to contact them directly.

Many thanks j.

JustAnswer unauthorised billing

I paid £17 for an answer to my plumbing problem but now find I am being billed £17 per month for unlimited service which I definately didnt sign up for. S far thyey have drawn an additional £34 from my bank account. The only telephone number I can find is in the States, which is great if you are in the UK. I went back into the site using a different email address etc with the same problem and the sign up definately does not say that the fee will be recurring. This is definately an unlwaful scam, which is a shame because the advice that I received from the plumber in the UK was good. I have left two or three messages on the site contact section where they say that they will contact me within 24 hours but no contact. The money has been taken directly from my bank and I cannot easily claim back. If anyone knows how I can contact these scammers then I would be pleased to hear from you. Thanks

In Septmber of this year (2010) I asked a question online of JustAnswer and agreed to pay the £22 fee. I find that instead of a one-off payment these scheisters have been taking £22 every month since out of my bank account. These people are crooks and should be shut down immediately and then prosected.

JustAnswer charging unauthorised fees to my credit card

In July I requested the answer to a question related to problems with my computer from JustAnswer.
The agreed fee was $22 for the answer provided. Since that time this company has been removing the same amount from my credit card account at the beginning of each month without my Authority. (To which a further tax amount of $0.66 is added)
I will be demanding an answer from them by e-mail with a please explain request and a further request for the unuthorised withdrawal amounts to be refunded. The follow up will be to pursue legal advice and to place a notification on the internet concerning this scam.
In the meantime I would appreciate your advice as to how an immedite STOP PAYMENT order can be place with the relevant bank with which I have the credit card account.
My e-mail address is : [protected]@graduate.uwa.edu.au

JustAnswer withdrew£21 without authority

I contacted this company with a problem I was having with my Vauxhall Zafira car. I agreed to pay £21 on condition that I was satisfied with their answer to my problem. Since I was not satisfied I assumed that no payment would be taken.However, on looking at my latest bank statement I find that on October 15th £21 was withdrawn, without my authority, from my account.
I intend going into the bank tomorrow, to try and ensure that no further withdrawals are made.

JustAnswer fraud/deceptive advertising

To put it succinctly, JustAnswer.com was at the time of my joining, November, 2, 2010 a risk free 30 day trial for $60. It stated that for THAT 30 days I could ask as many questions I wanted for $60 and could cancel anytime and would not be bound to any contract yada, yada. It was simply to check them out.

I did and LOVED the person I received, however, I had not realized (my own fault) the JustAsk was a non-legal advice site. Well naturally, all my questions were legal and since the person I worked with was so great I even gave him a bonus (he deserved it IMHO). That was the last time I used the site, perhaps the 2nd and 3rd or whatever to respond to his queries. I spoke to him a last day and may have continued yet JustAnswer wanted MORE MONEY! What happened to TRIAL UNLIMITED. So I cxled within the 30 day period and they said IF I DO THAT, I WILL BE CHARGED FOR EVER ANSWER EVER RECEIVED. What is this all about? What do I do? I'm barely making it on my own thus JustAnswer. Why do they prey on people like us? EVERY ANSWER? Sometimes it was one sentence. What was the $60 UNLIMITED 30 DAY TRIAL ABOUT?

They answer any email "pronto" to threaten me but NO ANSWER for help. What is this? All my best. BE CAREFUL! Squeaks going broke

I entered my $1 "deposit" through PayPal on 4/1/11 to ask a neurology question. The site says answers within minutes, maybe hours. Three days later I had no answer. I finally figured out how to ask for a refund, and on 4/10 was informed, "We will process your refund manually, usually within a day". It is now 4/18/11 and I have received no refund.

I paid to have my question submitted to an "expert" and I received an email stating if I want to view the answer I have to pay an additional $3! And when I try to log in to the site and/or ask for help on their help page I keep receiving a message "This email address already exists in our system." This just a way for them to avoid contact with you.

I asked JustAnswer a question regarding a fault in my washing machine. No response after a few weeks. I have no faith in this "company".

I have since requested a refund. I won't hold my breath, but will lodge another complaint when it doesn't happen in about 3-5 days.

My advice is DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY.

Claim to have expert for a specific state for legal but the ones that pop up are in other states and of course receive no reply. I just request to close my account given they continued to ask for a depost which ended up to $60. No way to contact them and definitely disappointed.

Used their medical site 12/14/09. Agreed amount was $18.00. One question asked, One accepted answer. Case closed, right? No! They double charged the amount agreed upon $18 now totaling $36 and on top of that I was charged an additional $52.20! My intention now is to go to my bank and file fraudulent charges against justanswer.com as the do not respond to any of my inquiries.

JustAnswer incorrect debit £13. 00 off my credit card

I have had a debit of £13.00 taken of my mastercard credit card. I do not know what this is for and I dont want it to happen again. I did use this service earlier in the year but paid for it, and now they have debited my card again with out permission and not at my request. I contacted my credit card company and they say I have to ring the Merchant and the merchant shows as COmputer Network/Information Services (internet) but I dont know how to contact them. This site came up when I put the JUstanswer site into the internet. Hopeyou can help.

JustAnswer no response to question but money taken out of my account. £28 and a further £38.

I sent a legal question on line to Just Answer and waited all day but no reply came on two occasions, this was on 10th November. On the 11th November my account shows two withdrawals - one for £28 and a further one for £38, neither of which was sanctioned by me. How can I recover my money.

JustAnswer no refund, no reply from customer services

Asked a question in the TV/Electronics section. Got the answer after 2 days - I have had my issue resolved by then as it was quite urgent.
According to the "how it works" information on the website, it was all perfectly fine for me not to accept the answer, to not to pay for the advise and to request a refund (refunds possible for up to 1year from the date of initial deposit, they say).
Wiithin the 2 weeks time I have requested refund 4 times...Guess what...NOTHING!
I submitted a query to customer support..Guess what...NOTHING!

And here are just some examples of the scam being pulled out right in front of the silly, silly public (like me...)

"...The Shockingly Simple JustAnswer® Promise:
If you’re not happy, you don’t have to pay.
Wow, that’s a pretty bold statement. But we’re standing by it..."

JustAnswer they keep taking money out of my account monthly

About 5 months ago I asked a medical question, and paid $18 for the advice. Since then every single month they have gone into my account, and charged $18. I have written them and asked them to stop, and said for someone to contact me. I have had zero contact with anyone. I will now go to my bank and inform them to not pay anything from this company. PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT ONCE THEY HAVE YOUR CREDIT INFORMATION THEY KEEP USING IT.

I asked a simple one time question. The answer I got was its okay, don't worry. Well if I hadn't worried I would died. I had emergency surgery last week. Not sure if it "cancer" yet. I cancelled this so called one time deal and now have been two time in less than a month for $35.00. I cann't afford that. I got in touch with my credit card and they locked my accout, they refunded one month and the I have to see about getting back from the web site. This is a rip off!

In the month of November 2011, I got in contact with Just Answer Doctors in order to have some medical information because I was diagnosed with a serious disease. I had one contact and dropped it since I didn't find that the information they provided met my needs. Since then, regardless of the fact that I have never contacted them again, my bank account is being debited of 40€ each month, that is December, January and February. Tomorrow I will go to my bank and ask them to block any payments coming from this dishonest site Just Answer Doctors.

On 7th October 2001 I sought a medical opinion by email from Just Answer Doctors and was charged $42.00 which was withdrawn from my Master Card. I also was charged $40.81 by Just Answers Doctotrs again on 7 October. On 14 October, Just Answer Doctors once more charged me $42.00. Now on 14 November I was charged another $42.00. Other than my initial request I have initiated no subsequent dealings with Just Answer Doctors yet they have been withdrawing money from my Credit Car4d (Mastercard) Account. They have withdrawn an aditional unauthorized $124.81 from my account. I want the amount of $124.81 representing unauthorized withdrawals to be refunded to my account.

WOW, I am in the same situation & mine has been $30 since July 2010, and now having trouble with Bank as they said i agreed on this monthly service! I am though going to take further action! I was told you can go through the Fedral Police in your state? I am going to try what ever it takes, never know may see me on TV one day to warn people. I only paid (i think) as so long ago, that too me it's a lot longer than July 2010!
The Bank told me what to do on "JustAnswerDoctors" site to STOP the money from coming OUT! It has really upset me, as on very low income due to Workers Compensation. I have never thought of them, never had any messages in my email account and NO other communication from them, only the once the very first time like i said, i believe longer than July 2010! Have any of you had any feedback from them either?

JustAnswer justanswer.com taking money

I used Just answer once in July for a legal question. I agreed to pay $18 for the one time service. I have been billed $18 (unknowingly, since I have not paid attention to every charge on my account) the next 3 months. I was never told or agreed to a subscription for this website. I think they are running a shade tree business with the intention of getting over on people such as myself, who do not scrutinize their monthly statement closely. I go to the account section on just answer.com, and there is no option to turn off any recurring billing, as it states in the help section of the website. I will contact them via telephone and request a complete refund for all four $18 charges. I will update this post and let you all know if my request was accommodated.

If Adam's company is indeed Collection Attorneys, they have to follow FDCPA RULES. If in the agreement that you so willingly accepted, did you read it before you checked it? However attorneys should not scam people out of their money by continuing to collect for 5 seconds of your time. So if you people feel that this is a scam, then report it to the Federal Trade Commission and your state Attorneys Office of Consumer Complaints.
I am not an attorney, but I have had many great advice from attorneys from all over the United States by telephone and not the Internet that has helped me. Unless you have gotten a Summons that you need to answer, you do not have to answer letters written to you by collectors. More over, you need to ask for proof within the first 30 days of the first letter (those letters address to you without a return address) using FDCPA RULES. Collectors are suppose to to stop all calls during the thirty days of receipt of that letter. Be sure to sent the letter certified return receipt to be sure they got it. Okay if you do not hear from them and they call you, then send them a Certified Mail Cease and Desist Letter. They will have to stop contacting you, except to send you a letter stating that they are not going to contact you. Attorneys offices that collect do have to follow these same rules. They are not exempt from contacting you. Like when I go to court, I hope within a few weeks, I can shut down 2 collection agencies in one blow. We have our information and it is damaging to both companies.

These guys are scam artists. They quote Australian law, but they are in the US, therefore they're advice is illegal because you are not registered to practice law in Australia, and secondly, you repeatively bill my C.C without my consent so that is Credit Card fraud. So, tell me this, what repudiable law firm allows itself to do credit card fraud and get investigated by the Police?

So, my advice, go see your bank and get the CC entry reversed as a "non authorised transaction", or " unable to apply voucher" and get your money back. See if the bank can bloakc their entries, or you may have to get a new credit card to stop thei scam antics

I've just found a load of charges on my account too. They are a real company, however - I used them once successfully, but the 2nd time a helper got half way through helping me then disappeared, and seemed to tell his friends to do the same - he then charged me for answering the question 2 months later!

I don't think the post above is helpful to anyone's cause, as it clearly makes no sense - but I hope I will be getting some kind of pm too!

I am ashamed of Adam for saying what he just did here. If the person has paid your company a fee than your company is obligated to help. Your company is anyway nothing but a bunch of collectors. You have no interest in helping. Most Collection Agencies today have to comply to FTA,
JA does not. Why? Because they come under attorneys. There is a separate rule for attorneys. But this does not mean you people get to harass people all the time. Also people as this man writes and tells your company to not take anymore money from his account, you have better do it. And if he is due a refund, get it to him. Mister, I am a watchdog.

I agree this company is not a company but a scam to collect money for nothing.

JustAnswer fraud/no refund/false advertisement

This website disclaimer advertised free answer to your question if you are not satisfied with your answer. As long as you place a "goodfaith deposit" of 22.00. So I gave them my paypal account # which had no balance but is linked by checks from my bank account. I asked my question, and instead of getting an 'answer' the "expert" wanted to chat and I did not want to so I denied to accept the answer. The contract on the website says it "justanswer will not charge your account unless you click on the accept answer button" of which I never did. I have tried to contact them about a refund the first 2 times no reply, the last time I was sent a receipt that said they did credit my paypal account back 21.36. Which has still not gone gone through! I just noticed this site has many other complaints on just answer and I am appalled and I only wish I had read this site before I handed over a link to my account!

Thanks for your help!

Just answer did sort out my printer problem o.k, However, my credit card company has just informed me that a fraudulent purchase has been made using my card details! The last time I used this card (via Norton Security) was with Just Answer. This has never happened before as I am very careful usually. Comments from Just Answer would be appreciated. Derek

from regsherry@internode.on.net. I recently purchased a tablet and was offered free advice on operational matters from "justanswer tech sprt" which did not fix my problems anyway. I have had some emails since offering to help but I did not accept the offer for help.
Now I find that I have been billed twice, $27 EACH time. Please stop this billing and refund my $54.
Sincerely Reg Whitehead.

I asked a question on the 10/11/10. The advice was poor advice. I asked the lawyer to stop as time was of essence. I didn't press the green button for payment. How on earth did Justanswer collect not one payment but two payments. One dated 11/11/10 and the other 15/11/10? Is this process beginning to abuse accounts? I want these payments refunded to my account asap and I will contact my bank as well for this unprofessional conduct. You don't collect fees where a satisfactory job was not rendered. That is your charter!

JustAnswer unauthorised payments from my account

£ months ago I asked for help and wsa told that the charge for this would be the equivalent of & pound;21 (They quoted in $'s).
The advise they gave was to contain a high street retailer.
They have continued to take the & pound;21 from my account for the past 3 months
How can I stop the payments please
Thanks

JustAnswer unauthorised payments taken from account.

I went on line to ask a Mechanic a question re a heater blower malfunction in my BMW car.I agreed to pay the one off payment of £22.00.This was for one time only.Since then further amounts to the same value have been taken without my authority from my account.This has happened on two further occasions.As stated by me I agreed to only one payment and therefore want a refund of the money amounting to £44.00 which has been unlawfully removed from my account.Incidentally the advice I was given was totally wrong and made no difference at all.

JustAnswer taking more money than I agreed

I asked a question on the Just answer web site in April 2010, it was answered to my satisfaction and I opted to pay from the options given to me a total of £7.00. I have not used the web site since and yet every month the company Myjabill.ComCa take £7.00 from my account. How do I stop them? How do I get the money back?

I have emailed them with no reply.
