I had a question about my divorce case I did not have a lawyer at the time, it said 5 $ trial and you get one question. I put the information in and it charged me 65$ five for the trial and another 60 for a membership I did not want. When I asked the question how I could push my divorce through when there has been no decisions made in court the lawyer took forever to answer and answered with how I could repeal decisions made in court. So absolutely nothing useful. I tried to explain that was not what I needed and still nothing helpful I asked for a refund because all I even wanted was a trial one question. Needless to say they would not give me a refund and I got nothing and paid 65$ and had to unsubscribe to avoid further charges. I feel like this is a major scam, hopefully someone takes them to court for thievery

When they can not assist you by answering your question or direct you to who can they charge your credit card. They sure can email you about why they justified charging you even though the " expert " be leery here. Any company hiring them as a subcontractor should think twice.

Thieves
April 9, 2023

My wife unknowingly "joined" this rip off by getting a useless answer. $150 later, we canceled this "membership" that we never wanted. How do these people sleep at night? It is not clear that you are joining a club for $30 a month. WHO IN THIS WORLD NEEDS HELP WITH APPLIANCE REPAIRS EVERY MONTH? This is total scam. Social Security only goes so far, and they took food off our table. What a disgusting existence these people live. God's word says you reap what you sow. Their consciences are are burdened obviously, for stealing unsuspecting peoples money.

The chat bot "Pearl" invited me to ask my question to a lawyer and stated that it would be a $2 fee, fully refundable. Gave me a link, and I signed up. She made no mention of an immediate monthly fee. I was charged $66 and the company refuses to refund me, citing some small print. I don't respect businesses that mislead customers then refuse to make it right.

Ripoff
April 9, 2023

The explanation about payment was very confusing. All I remember was seeing one dollar and certainly not that I was signing up for a long-term or even limited relationship. Trying to get the payment reversed seems to be impossible. I've seen a lot of ways in my 83 years to rip people off, and this was the worst I have ever encountered.

If you follow their advertisement it says $5 or sometimes its $1 for the service, but they don't tell you they automatically charge you for a full month of services at $69.00 which was not stated at purchase or on the front page. They say to cancel at any time but that still means you are fully charged. They would not give me a refund for the portion of the charge I did not agree to. I agreed to pay $5 for a 2-minute phone call, not $69. Shady if you ask me. They also write their own reviews on a lot of websites as they are the exact same review over and over. Not worth it if you are looking for real answers with out shady marketing.

When I called to ask about a hack on my laptop, I understood I would pay a fee. I can't remember exactly how much that call was going to cost, but at no time did I agree to a $55 monthly membership fee. The customer service line person just told me when I gave them my credit card info I agreed to the terms and conditions. There was no email or document sent in the mail to agree to or refuse this service. Like any normal person I assumed that I had paid for the phone call help and I was done. After having been through huge personal challenges the past several months, I finally sat down to review my Amex charges. Come to find out Just Answer has been billing me $55 a month since my phone call last October. If you're going to use their service just know that the person helping you is supposedly advising you of this policy. I certainly did not understand that and would never in a million years have agreed to it.

I contracted for what I thought was a one-time contact to assist me with a technical issue. They were completely unhelpful, and then I started getting a $55 recurring monthly charge on my credit card. This company engages in deceitful practices and tricks consumers into recurring charges for NO SERVICE. Terrible.

TERRIBLE
April 3, 2023

I Paid handsomely for an in depth answer to a serious legal question. The person seemed very sure of the legal advice to me, advice that never seemed right or sat well with me. They told me I had no case.I ended up talking to 3 different respectable lawyers in the area and all of them told me I have more than enough to move forward with a lawsuit pertaining to the legal question. This site charged me 70$ for misleading, unfounded answers. If you have legal questions, contact a lawyer in your area. You're probably wasting your time on this website, I'm livid. Thankfully I got my money refunded.
