My fight for refund of funds, cleverly disguised with random dates, taken for months from current account after 'successfully turning off membership features' continues. Very bad service and never got an answer.

They will charge you £5 but after few days they will take £50 for nothing (they have your bank details). My bank blocked their transaction as they suspected a fraud. Stay away very Fraudulent company not to be trusted. Also advise they gave me was to random to be from a professional lawyer.

Be Wary
May 10, 2023

The valuation is fine. What is not fine is that after you pay for the valuation they debit you with a membership fee. You need to read the small print. They would not give me a refund.

Will not use them again.

RECENTLY GOT SCAMMED BY A SITE BY THE NAME OF JUSTANSWER
April 25, 2023

As a result of a problem that i had with my Isuzu bakkie, I googled for resolution only to come across a site by the name of "JUST ANSWER" who promised me to assist with the car problem I has with my bakkie without knowing that I was falling into a trap of some crooks. I explained to them all the problem that I had with my bakkie and they promised to assist me provided I paid a fee of $5, which I paid through my Visa card. I was attended to by a certain Elise who assured me that she would get the right mechanic to assist me. I then waited and waited without getting any communication from this Elise, until I sent them another message to inquire how fat they were with my answer. She told to wait as it could take a day or more to get assistance. In the mean time, while I was waiting, I received a notification through my phone about a deduction of $39 from my Visa card account which I had not authorized. (In my country Botswana, that is a significant amount of money to steal from a poor man like me). The deduction was done by JUSTANSWER. When I asked them her why my account had been debited with this amount, she told me the initial $5 was the joining fee and $39 was membership fee which will renew automatically and get charged to my account on a monthly basis. When I asked her why she did not explain this arrangement from the onset, she pretended not to understand what I was talking about. When realizing that I had been scammed, I immediately asked her for a refund and regrettably she told me it was not possible to get a refund unless required by law. Realizing I had put myself into a serious trouble, I cancelled my Visa card.
I have just noted from reading other people's reviews that many people have been scammed by these people and I just want to warn anyone who comes across JUSTANSWER not to do any business with them whatsoever, because these people are a SCAM and they will lose their money for nothing.
My name is Stephen and My Contact number is *******2235 should anyone want to contact me.

"DON'T DESERVE ANY STARS"
March 29, 2023

I needed legal questions answered so I went to Just Answer for help. I signed up for the required $5 fee. I received the help I needed, but during the chat with the lawyer, a text message appeared with a fee of $60! I DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS CHARGE and when I contacted customer service to get a refund, the woman kept repeating herself that the fee was UNREFUNDABLE! I kept asking her WHY and she had no definite answer, other than it's nonrefundable! DO NOT SIGN UP WITH JUST ANSWER UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE MONEY( YOU DON'T HAVE) & FEEL LIKE GETTING SCREWED OVER ROYALLY! MY NEXT MOVE IS TO CONTACT THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU WITH ANOTHER REVIEW OF JUST ANSWER!

Criminals masquerading as lawyers don't sign up
March 22, 2023

My fight for refund of funds, cleverly disguised with random dates, taken for months from current account after 'successfully turning off membership features' continues. Please don't rush at a crisis with these fraudsters they prey on the vulnerable. Much better you engage a real lawyer for honest advice before realising everything JustAnswer advise is actually a waste of time, money and mental health.

Useless and expensive.
March 1, 2023

Tried to get advice a complicated German coffee maker. Paid £1 and some chap emailed me some help. It didn't work. Then had to pay £30. Asked the chap to phone me £15 but never heard from them again. Didn't realise I was now a 'member' and got £30 deducted from my card every month. It's a total scam...

Just Answer - charges
December 2, 2022

You pay an initial amount plus a 3 day free trial, you cancel but they still charge you on a monthly basis even if cancelled. Ensure you get a confirmation cancellation email otherwise they will keep taking the money. Not impressed as there is no notfication that there is a monthly fee

Do not use this service scammers and fraudsters
December 1, 2022

They answered 1 question for a price of £5.00 and sent a link for payment by Paypal, no mention anywhere of a monthly fee of £50.00. It was only when I looked at the email from Paypal it said a monthly payment had been set up for £50.00 with no authorisation or discussion, luckily I cancelled it before the payment due date. Complete scammers. Do not touch this company.

Scam
November 9, 2022

Advertise as Samsung Technical Help, which it is not.
Offer to resolve a simple query for £1.00. Do not highlight that there is also a monthly fee which appears on your card a couple of weeks later.
Plus they did not answer my question at all!

Avoid at all costs
August 26, 2022

You log on to ask a question, however unbeknown to you once you provide your direct debit card details, you've signed up to a membership fee! An initial £5 registration fee and £28 to ask your question PLUS thereafter £28pcm debited from your bank account ( silently), using your debit card details. No direct debit form. No signatures. By the time you realise and try and cancel your 'membership' you realise that the process using the just answer website is near on impossible!

$800.00 Rip off by Just Answer for a $5.00 rubbish response
September 26, 2021

Don't go near this mob.
A blatant rip off of your money.
I signed up for a $5.00 answer (which was pathetic) 12 months later I realised they were still taking $66.00 out of my bank account every month. Over this time I hadn't asked for any service (didn't even know I was a member) and they hadn't provided any service.
Most businesses give you a month free service and then if you like the company and what it provides you commit and join.
Just Answer charge a small fee of $5.00 for your initial consult, but once they have got your bank details they consider you a member and deduct $66.00 per month membership fee until you physically cancel your membership with them.
No correspondence within that period to advise you are considered a member and still paying.
When I questioned them they virtually laughed at me and said "You didn't read the fine print" and that their business and tactics were legal.
I tried to contact them again but they blocked me from their email.
I have sent several letters of my situation into the "Just answer" questions site and will keep pestering them on going.
My bank had to cancel my credit card and issue a new one.
I am a pensioner now and $800.00 is a lot of money to me.
My Recommendation to You. NO NO NO No!
They must be writing these positive responses in themselves because anyone with an ounce of brain would not.

Stay well away
September 24, 2021

It's not just me when I look into the reviews, many people have been ripped off by their membership fee. They say the fee is £5 for a question, but they don't make it clear that there will be a direct debit for the membership of £50/month after a week. Even if you don't login into the account, they will take money from your account. Stay well away

As it happened, I managed to solve the problem on my own, ie correct my stupid mistake, but I liked it when gethuman followed up and asked whether it was solved and how, so I could tell the world not to make the same mistake as me.
