The company has very fine print regarding their policy. The membership must be cancelled on later than 7 day. I was one day off, businesses were closed om Memorial day. I was on out of town and just came back. Cancelled my member ship, as for a Refund of my $30. I was ONE day off, the Customer Service rep. Keep repeating himself that I was past the grace period. REALLY ONE DAY! Wow. Terrible customer service. Very misleading Its $1.00 for seven day trial period, but that is not to be found in bold print. I won't ever use this service and caution everyone that intends to maybe use this service to got directly to a ER Veterinarian... This is a scam

Signed up for a $1 - 7 Days Trial to get ancestry for my grandfather. Waited 15 minutes for an ‘Expert' to come online. At that time I texted in their portal that when my wait time reached 30 minutes I will have to cancel. IMMEDIATELY a ‘Retention' Specialist came online to say my question would be prioritized. Ten minutes later, the ‘Expert' comes online with a $34 fee for HER services! I said NO and why. The website did NOT mention that, and I called the number to cancel. It also stated the monthly membership fee is $20, but later language under Membership Management stated $50. FIFTY. Companies that do THIS are operating unethically because they give NO indication of their trickery in their website language. Customers should be told the truth in order to engage from a point of awareness and knowledge. That's how we make informed, wise choices. I did manage to adjust size of Purchase Order screenshot taken from laptop screen, after all. You asked for my Facebook Password and THAT is. A No-No. So sorry, no can do that.

I was able to submit a Review for Ali Express earlier this evening without having to do that.

Hi there Dianne,

Thanks for getting in touch with us about this. We apologize for any confusion or frustration you experienced in navigating the website or internet.

JustAnswer is a paid Question & Answer website where you can speak to Experts in a number of different fields, however, we do not have a genealogy category and we are not affiliated with Ancestry.com or Ali express. We also do not request a user's Facebook PW at any point on the website.

It seems that you may have come across our website by mistake while searching for other providers. If you have any questions about JustAnswer, or need to speak with one of our Customer Care agents, you can do so from the Contact Us link on the homepage.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

I signed up thinking there was a one time fee of $1.00 and ended up being charged $50.00/month without knowing it until some months later. Granted, I should have checked my credit card statement on line. They said they sent me a confirmation email online which must have gone into my junkmail folder because I never saw it. I cancelled as soon as I realized what had happened and asked for a refund of what I already paid but they refused. I should have been more on top of it but they should have been more understanding of my situation as a retiree on a very minimal fixed income and been granted a refund for the hundreds of dollars I spent for a membership I virtually never used and didn't even know I was being charged for. This is a company without compassion. Don't use them.

I used this service to speak to someone regarding a work related issue. The overall answers I received were basic, nothing too detailed or helpful which was a bit disappointing so I didn't want the service. During the 7 day trial, I was charged the $5 but when I tried to cancel online, the link wasn't working! It was impossible to cancel my membership online so I had to call customer service! I was put on hold for over 20mins and no one was available! I had to call again to get someone on the other line to finally cancel! I was told my membership was canceled and then a month later, I was charged the full $46! I had to go through the whole process again to get it canceled! The representative stated they were unable to process a refund but canceled again! Apparently, this is an on going issue with this Just Answer service and A LOT of people have the same problem better! I better not get charged again! Their customer service is horrible and honestly, the service itself is NOT worth it! I would NOT recommend to anyone!

Membership scam
May 2, 2021

My complaint is how they mislead in regards to their membership. I was told that it would cost $1.00 to get an answer from a vet. That part was good, but I was never told that I would be charged $31.00 for a membership of which I did not agree to. When requesting a refund they refused.

Misleading $5 Advert

They will mislead you into paying $5 advert fee and charge you $60 without sending you a reminder. My advice is... do not subscribe because JustAnswer is not a customer-centric company. They are only after the money.

If you sign up for a trial membership, BEWARE. The process to cancel is obscure. You may think you have canceled, but haven't.
A legitimate and honorable company doesn't make its cancellation procedures difficult. A moral company makes money by providing a service, not by obscuring its cancellation procedures, and making money off them.
The advise offered was nothing I couldn't find on an internet search.

I called for APPLE support, got NO help with this company and had to go to the phone store instead, ASKED the rep directly that I not be charged for the call, which I'd think would also end the 'free trial' they now tell me I agreed to, but ended up being billed an additional $46.00 because I was supposed to intuit that they would still charge me that extraordinarily high monthly fee for NO HELP. I should've read the reviews - but when your phone isn't working you just reach out for help. I had NO IDEA.

Hello Judy,

We appreciate that you gave JustAnswer a try, and we’re sorry that you did not receive a satisfactory answer.

Furthermore, we do advertise on search engines like Google and it is possible that one of our advertisements came up when you were searching the web for an answer to your question. We do not claim to be free in any of our advertisements or on the site. I apologize for any frustration this may have caused.

Lastly, when a customer enrolls in the trial period for the monthly membership the customer must opt-out of the membership feature before the trial period ends if they do not want to continue receiving membership benefits. We apologize if it was not clear that you would need to turn off renewal of the membership to avoid the monthly charge.

We would be happy to resolve this issue for you. Please reach out to our customer care team at [email protected] or you can call us directly at 1-800-509-5721 (Available 6am to 9pm PST). Please be sure to ask for our ADMIN TEAM and reference your review here on SiteJabber.
