Deceptive practices
March 8, 2022

Deceptive practices as well as terrible customer service. Started a chat only to be dismissed and have the chat ended by the rep while I was still typing. Called in only to speak to someone even ruder. The representative was condescending and sarcastic towards me the entire call. Will never use this so called service again.

Scam
March 6, 2022

When I got on the site it said. $1 refundable. They then charged me$46. The technician said it would be best to talk on the phone. I said ok and they charged me $26. But then said that they couldn't talk to me. But never refunded the money they charged me to rank on the phone. When I asked why all I got was yhay they had left. So I didn't get a chat or a phone call and they didn't reimburse me since they didn't hold their end of the bargain up

Be wary of using this company, they charge you for the question answered by a so called expert * if you're lucky! Then without telling you or asking you if you want it they use the card details you gave them to set up a recurring payment for membership/subscription to JustAnswer and unless you keep a close eye on your account they continue to take money from you every month. I wrote on their Twitter page about what they did and on their tweets & replies it is full of people they've scammed in this way. So use Google or ask a friend it works out cheaper.

These people are white collard thieves giving you the same answer you can for free on any search engine. They false advertise Showing a big dollar. I. e.$1 for a trial period. I opted to cancel the same day within minutes. I have a confirmation email to prove the cancelation was just minutes apart from when I opened the email they sent me. They still charge you the monthly fee just for opening the email. Other great resources instead of using just A holes. Chegg, Quizlet, Study.

Thank you for reaching out to us at JustAnswer.

I'm sorry if there was any misunderstanding or confusion, but only the customer can enroll in one of our membership plans, it's never done automatically by the site. There are a few places the customer has to click in order to enroll in a membership plan.

The Offer Details page explains the payment terms and that you're authorizing JustAnswer to automatically charge a subscription fee for each month of enrollment. Also provided are instructions on how to cancel.

If you send us your email address or phone number, we're more than happy to take a look at your account to see what happened and address any issues that you have.

I searched online doctors for an online evaluation for a medication that I received in the hospital from which I was just discharged. I went through an extensive pre-screening and was told that a doctor would be online soon and could definitely help me with what I was requesting. Then I spoke to the doctor forever And the conclusion was a we don't write prescriptions here is a list of local clinics. We are not Telecocs. They advertise and miss lead you as if they are and charge you $50 for the ridiculous process. After going back-and-forth and demanding a refund I discovered that they had charged me twice $50. Had I not demanded a refund I would not probably have noticed right away that they charged me twice on top of trying to scam me by chatting with a bunch of bots who then send me a list of in person doctors to go to. This site is a scam.

I would give a 5 to the experts I dealt with, but the company canceled my membership without talking to me prior. Apparently, if you ask too many questions, they will just cancel your membership and not allow you to continue your work. They do not state if there are question limits.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting JustAnswer and I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion.

The Fair Use policy is designed to keep the membership program affordable for all customers, so the system turns the membership benefits off if it detects a pattern of excessive use. While the membership is a great value and does allow you to ask a lot of questions at a reasonable price we do need to limit the use sometimes in order to make sure that we're able to continue offering the program to everyone.

We have reached out to you privately about your concern. I have opted you out of the membership and I assure you that moving forward you will not receive any recurring membership charges.

If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

I was routed to the JustAnswer site when I was asking a question on a antique I had. The site displayed a $1.00 fee to join. The site also indicated that they had a $60 monthly membership fee. I erroneously made the assumption that I had to pay the $1 only to join and would then be given the opportunity to subscribe. WRONG! I was immediately charged the $1 fee to join and the first month membership fee of $60. The have a trial period in their menu option but apparently you still have to pay the $60. I canceled my membership immediately and completed their contact form requesting a refund. I received an email saying my membership was canceled but could ask questions for 30 days. I sent another email indicating what happened and requested a refund. Unfortunately that was NOT going to happen. I saw different comments when researching that they offer a 7 day trial but apparently they do not or, if they do you still get stuck with at least one month payment. I know what the site reflects and it is my error but I think their joining / registration is very misleading. Users should be given the opportunity to select a membership AFTER they join. Do not join on this site unless you fully intend to pay a $60 fee membership fee every month.

Horrible Service
February 14, 2022

I had a terrible experience with them. They are here to charge your card and that's it. I tried them once, these great experts - I would call them burglars were never able to help me. But they were av=ble to charge my card for a 46 membership that I never signed up for. When I called them to see who approved to charge my card month they said I had confirmed on an email which is 100% not true. When I asked them for proof they were unable to give it to me. They kept on transferring me to different departments that will be able to show me the email that a agreed to sign up for the membership. There was nobody in the entire business that was able to forward me the proof - shows us all that they don't have it. They were all like we don't have access, I'm so sorry. In other words, they are here to charge your cards and lie. That's about it!
