Scam obviously like the rest
October 21, 2022

Same thing like everyone else there was no sign that they will charge you once you ask a question and then they act as if there was when not.
As everyone knows a subscription is at the end of the month not the day you sign up.
Anyways when i spoke to a assistant she said that thats how the company works, i told her nothing was clear i even asked to speak to a supervisor, because they took 66$ without my permission i only permitted the 2$ one anyhow she denied it by saying they wont help me.
And then when i wasn't done she ended the conversation.
After that i contacted them by email and no surprise at all they were no help they kept saying that im not eligible for a refund because it was stated that they money will be taken when it didnt at all.
If you're willing to pay 66 or 80 or 40 $ for questions and answers, for monthly subscriptions + the first question charge sure but if not dont bother because the 2$ is really just for show to lure you.
Very disappointed that a company would do such thing, the least they can do is make it obvious that they're gonna take the money the second they ask a question. Obviously not because they're scammers.
May god not forgive them.
Anyways i did cancel my subscription they made sure of it.
But they were no help.
The doctors were though.
Only good outcome of it
I will be using the money i lost so i will be asking all the questions i possibly can.
Be careful always check reviews first.

Be carefull!
October 20, 2022

I signed up for legal advice on a labor issue. I had only one issue, which was answered satisfactory. But, they did not warn me a montly subscription is going to be charged to me and not any notifications were sent to me to inform me subscription is going to continue. They have charged me 3 month's subscription of R599 on top of initial R15 subscribing fee to pose my question. On request today, they cancelled my subscription, but they refuse to refund me at least 2 month's fees from which I had no use at all. Keep in mind when subscribing to this service!

Scammy Company Beware!
October 19, 2022

This company is a good idea, but they are scammers by making people pay a $1-$2 refundable fee, and they automatically sign you up for the membership, which they DO NOT make clear at all, no matter how they try to state they do. They won't even refund you bc "you agreed" I never saw any emails about joining the membership until I had to physically look it up in my email. They know what they are doing, and it's a shame. Pls, don't use them; it is a waste of money for like 5 mins of chat or like a 5 min call. They should be shut down.

This is a scam
October 19, 2022

We gave them our credit card to charge us $1 for an answer which was not helpful - take apart our TV, basically break it. Pretty sure their agents are just googling things. But then they charged us a $46 a month subscription. Called Discover Card and apparently, this site does this all the time to people. Gives them a price for an answer and then signs them up for a subscription without their permission.

No Vanessa. I will not be contacting you. I already tried to contact your company about this and didn't get a response, so I disputed the charge on my credit card (the $46 membership I didn't sign up for, but you can have the $1 I agreed to even though you didn't answer my question - I guess you get what you pay for). You can respond to the dispute request if you would like. Discover is apparently very familiar with your company.

Stumbled onto this site while searching for an answer to a problem with my car. I figured for a buck I'd try them. Never got an answer but when my credit card co called about a different matter I found I had been billed for THREE months of service I didn't use and didn't know I had. Called them to cancel and they said they couldn't find my account by my email and wanted my card #. Told them No and I wanted it cancelled. Got disconnected. Tried to call back and seemed to be blocked. Called on my cell and got a msg the account was closed. Don't know how they knew it was me as I never used my cell to contact them.

TOTAL SCAM - RUN!
October 18, 2022

This website claims you can join for just $1 for a trial, but when you actually try to use the membership, it charges you $46 with your first question. Their practices are VERY deceitful. Clearly, it is designed this way. Very frustrating experience with this company.

Pay attention
October 18, 2022

Make sure you pay attention because they tell you it's a $5 fee then charge you $40. That could of paid for my vet exam instead I paid $40 to have someone tell me to take my cat to the vet because they can't prescribe meds. Cancelled my membership immediately and talked with a customer service agent who clearly didn't give a crap about the well being of my cat that they just took money from. They claim that it says that they are going to charge you $35 monthly when you enter your card info right after they tell you it's $5. Then the customer service rep just says we'll did you read the terms and conditions? Shove your terms and conditions and give me and all the other people you've stolen from our money back.

How so many fall for it?
October 18, 2022

A few days ago, October 10th 2022 going over charges on my Citi credit card statement i came across a monthly charge of $34… who in his right mind will use a credit card with 29% interest to have a company charge him monthly? If and only if I ever called this company I would have never authorize monthly payment and become a member as they call it. The 1 star is because after I canceled the card, called them to ask for proof of my membership and the $544 they unlawfully charged me a very rude, Asian accent woman said "NO WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF" Citi Simplicity card and their dispute dpt is after them now.

AWFUL SCAM
October 17, 2022

Never use this site! They overcharge for a basic conversation that helps nothing! Don't call for it! They say it's a $1 membership fee but they charge $31. When I asked why they said you should have read the full terms and agreements. They take money from people who have sick pets. Never trust them. They don't give refunds and don't actually care about you! They take advantage of people who are in distress over their ill pets. I will never ever use this company again.

First lesson: when looking for a free consultation online, the second they push you to a trial page, leave!

I have concerns about the safety of my boys, and went into great detail of the violent person that my wife's not only allowed them to be around, but that she left them with... he's not allowed to be around children alone, because of his violent history with children.

My answer, summed up: "Contact the police & hospitals, to get the reports you want." That ain't worth $5, and no way worth $53/mo membership.

That's the sort of answer I'd expect from a legal subbreddit, not a "professional" firm, charging money! Stay away from them. Probably get better results from aavo...

They Made it Right after 2nd Call

Updated review

I would like to say, after leaving a negative review (see above) I received a message from Customer Care stating they would help Me out if I called back. I did that and yes, they did refund my money. I am thankful for that, however, they refused to help me the first time I called customer care. It wasn't until I posted the review and I filed a complaint with the FTC (https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/) that they decided they could refund the charges.

Subscription Scam! Don't Do It!
October 8, 2022
Previous review

I was told it would cost $5.00 for an answer from an attorney. Ok, sounds reasonable. But what they fail to tell you is that $5.00 is the fee that initiates your subscription! No free trial period in which to cancel, just automatically enrolled and within days I was charged an additional $46! I didn't notice the charge until another month had gone by and I had a second charge (I was out of town and not expecting I would have to monitor my bank account). As with all the bad actors in this world today, they refused to reverse the charges even though the most current one was "pending". I was able to cancel the subscription, but their so called "customer care" has no ability to help the consumer that has just been duped out of nearly $100! It seems this is the new business model, anyone with any interest in a product or service is automatically enrolled in a subscription service that they have no control over, until they inadvertently discover re-occuring charges to their bank account! I'm sure these money hungry business owner's love this, but I'm so completely disgusted by bad business practices I'm loosing all faith in human decency. Even the customer care employee told me they have many people per day calling with the same complaint. She is located in the Philippines. I asked her how she likes working for a company that steals money out of peoples pockets? I told her, I know people in the Phillipines think we are all rich in the U.S., but it's not true, we aren't. I'm a senior citizen and can't afford to just toss my money in the air and let some charlatan grab it, but it's now become the way of the world.

Do not trust! This company is an absolute scam!
I haven't received any help and have only lost R614 to them.
I was told that a R15 monthly fee was needed to continue assistance with my query.
Which was then deducted, as well as R599 without my consent?!
When I complained about this, the page went to an error page.
Still haven't received any help either.
Do not trust this company, they are scammers

Just answer is a SCAM
October 10, 2022

The prices for just answer memeberships keeps jumping from $1 per question and $20++ fee for monthly member ship to $2 per question and a $70++ membership fee. I just wanted to ask a simple question on my mental health for $2 only to end up buy almost up to a $100 dollars worth of counselling services that I DO NOT REQUIRE as the website hides the fact that the purchase is indeed along with the membership. In fact the site should clarify strongly about purchases rather than hide it in such a small font. Do not buy and put your credit card information and i hope you will not fall into this scam. Thank you
