    My hp Color LaserJet CP2025dn was offline and I could not figure out how to get it online and ready. I tried reinstalling the driver several times and I still could not get it to be recognized by my applications. The expert on JustAnswer was able to remotely connect to my computer and fix the situation for me. I am completely satisfied with the professional support that I received.

    On 8.5.17 My JUST ANSWER QUESTION ORDER was a problem with the email (locked, lost and unable to reinstall on my own) on my iPhone. Justin spent an extraordinary amount of time to search the problem and get my email account restored to my phone and all intact. I also cannot say enough about his patience and persistent communication with me even though I am not tech savvy. He kept in touch every single step of the way... until SUCCESS was achieved! I'm so grateful. Justin, one more question: The settings you set up on the phone, will this affect me when I upgrade to my next iPhone? Thank you!

    I am actually very satisfied with the speed that the doctors respond etc. and with their advice, so there is no problem with that at all. I do, however, have a problem with the site which is why I only gave 3 stars. I noticed that another reviewer found the same as I, in that it one gets directed from one confusing page to another with no get out clause to find the way back to where one wishes to be. Most pages then lead to payment and unless one is familiar with the website, then one can end up paying several times over if one is not careful. At least that was my experience today. Maybe it is just me or a slow computer.

    I have messaged Just Answer with my query and have an automated response. Since sending that message, my history has appeared on my screen showing what I have paid but still have no idea what the total should be. I am sure I have paid too much. This problem needs to be addressed as not everyone is totally computer savvy and it would certainly put me off using them again. I have used them in the past without too much trouble.

    My elliptical machine lost power and the technician (JT) suggested I buy a $450 console from FitnessRepairParts.com. I followed the recommendation. When that did not work, I wrote asking for someone else at JustAnswer.com to help. The electrical engineer who replied recommended we check the equipment's fuse, so my son took the elliptical apart and replaced a $4 fuse. It now works with the old console. Now when I return the console, I can only get $228.35 back. So taking JT's advice cost me $250. I am grateful to Electrical Engineer Pete for steering me in the right direction. JT must have been out of his league.

    Woke up at 4 am and found your site online. I was immediately greeted by a CNP asking me if I had any issues I needed addressed. Wow, at 4 a.m. I had been stung multiple times by bee's earlier that day and hives broke out all over my body and my throat had the sensation of closing up, making breathing slightly difficult. All of which caught me by complete surprise since I didn't know I was allergic, having been stung before without any symptoms. Anyway, they asked further questions from me regarding me and possible medical history trying to get a complete picture. I was then immediately referred to a doctor, whom quickly answered my questions and offered more assistance if necessary. All in all I was done by 430 a.m. and back to bed. Awesome experience, and my first with this website. Thank you all so much!

    This service was worth the price for having a professional vet, Sarah **, address my chihuahua's needs. I'd never seen the results of a burst anal sac abscess, which had presented itself without my knowledge. I had initially noticed some blood under my dog's tail after taking her out for a bowel movement, but she didn't produce one. I mistakenly thought she had chewed her tail, so I gave her a quick bath and applied Vaseline to it where I thought it looked sore. Later, she was still distressed, not eating and was uncomfortable sitting on my lap, kind of droopy and she seemed warm. After looking closer under her tail, I discovered the tiny hole beside her anus. Not having ever seen that on her bottom, I was taken aback. The vet was very informative and kind. She described the condition and how it caused the hole (burst abscess of anal sac) and gave me some solutions that might soothe my dog until I could get her to the vet the next morning. Very pleased.

    Sid whom I've had for 10 years is my best friend, companion and my ESA, started developing an allergy the beginning of Spring. I noticed tiny bumps that raised his fur up like hives. They started near his thighs and moved up to his neck. I took him to the vet. She wanted to do skin scraping $250, thyroid testing $175 and more blood work since I'm on a limited budget. I couldn't do any of that, I did leave there with a special shampoo, fish oil and antibiotics. I went home and surfed the internet for hours which ended up a whole month online searching.

    In the meantime my baby's fur fell out in patches and has thinned on his back and sides. I managed to rule out everything and came down to 2 or 3 things but this thing going on with Sid was absolutely driving me mad! I believe it affected me more than him. I love him so much and I hate seeing him with anything wrong! Anyways I discovered this website and I wrote back and forth with Dr. **, she was awesome. The best part was she told me Sid's problem was either food allergy or allergy to pollen and she suggested what I should do with what I already have on hand and to change his dog food to a hypoallergenic one. I was able to tell her what was going on, she answered and after we communicated back and forth. Definitely helped to relieve stress on me and my baby. Thank you.

    My contact was made June 15 between 8-9 am. I got online with an attorney. (P ** in AZ). He asked for some detailed information. I sent him a question. The site then said he was busy. Then was redirected to an optional phone call. I thought I would be eventually talking to the same attorney he wasn't "busy" anymore. I was told it would be an extra $59 added to my original $30+. I agreed then found it was not the original attorney. He said he would cancel the $59 charge and I could talk to the original attorney. I tried to find out from him how I would get back to the original attorney. He gave no answer. There was no way for me to find the original attorney.

    I clicked on tech support and You just get in an automatic loop "talking" to a supposed person, really a computer just asking the same stupid questions over and over to get you to an attorney, any attorney. I can see no option on the site to get my money back as they promise if you are not satisfied. Furthermore they start with saying it's a five dollar deposit but then all sorts of options pop-up and to continue on. It is not clear which option you are choosing. So apparently I accidentally chose the $30 plus option. I want every penny of anything I spent returned. I do not like this site. Feel it is purposely confusing but they feel you'll be happy if you get a decent answer So they run you through this game plan. They are no better than the fence company I'm going up against.

    Hello Sese,

    I'm sorry for any confusion about the good faith deposit. An initial $5 deposit is required at the time the question is posted and the balance of the question price is collected once an Expert responds to the question.

    This information regarding the deposit is displayed on the page where the customer is prompted to submit their payment details and questions are posted only when the customer acknowledges and accepts the payment terms.

    An Expert responded to your question which is why you received a charge for the balance due.

    An overview of this process can be found on the How It Works page here: http://ww2.justanswer.com/how-justanswer-works

    In looking at your account it appears that you were able to contact our Customer Care team and that the refund for both charges was processed the same day.

I was told I have a response but I can't find one - I suppose I have to agree to something even more expensive. I was told the answer would come by email. I'm so sick of scams.

    Maybe a difficult question in regards to a vehicle repair... but no response other than 2 questions asked by JustAnswer.com before a tech is suppose to respond... but this is the weekend. Lesson #1 for me... Always research the make, model and similar problems associated on a free forum before being snagged by outfits like this. #2 do not be mislead by a 7 day free trial as they will immediately want a credit card # and bill immediately. Thankfully mine was not a debit card and was billed through PayPal and believe me they (PayPal) heard about this one. Of course even then PayPal says I should try to resolve the issue with the service provider. Yeah, after reading some reviews on ConsumerAffairs... Good luck with that one... So either I resolve with PayPal or JustAnswer.com or the credit card co... but somebody ain't gonna get paid even if I have to cancel the credit card... A hard lesson learned.

    Hello Gary,

    I'm sorry about the confusion you experienced in posting your question to the site. I'll try and help clear a few things up here.

    In looking at your account it does appear that a mechanic had replied to you about your Mitsubishi with a few trouble shooting question, however it doesn't appear that you had ever logged back in to reply to him.

    Regarding the free trial, it does not appear that you had accepted the free trial offer, however, in order to do so we do require that customers link a valid payment method to their account before opting in.

    I can assure you that we do stand behind our satisfaction guarantee and we have refunded the full deposit for the question back to your paypal account.

    I had one simple question that I wanted to ask a lawyer. A lady came on the line and indicated she was going to connect me with a lawyer. I then saw a form that indicated that I needed to provide a $5.00 REFUNDABLE charge. That was a big mistake. I never received a $5.00 refund but instead I was charged $31.00 with no warning. I did not even wait for a response from this company because my phone rang right away from the Fraud Department at my credit card company. I hung up and declined the charge. They told me that I should close this credit card but I am traveling and need to use my card. I wish I would have closed it because now they have charged the card again which I will have to call back and decline the charge again. I would not use this company as they do not appear to be honest and up front. I should have had a choice if I wanted to pay $31.00 for simple advice. Very disappointed that I ever called this company.

    Hello Edna,

    I’m terribly sorry to hear about the confusion that you faced in posting a question to the site. Regarding the $5.00 deposit, an initial $5 deposit is required at the time the question is posted and the balance of the question price is collected once an Expert responds to the question.

    This information regarding the deposit is displayed on the page where the customer is prompted to submit their payment details and questions are posted only when the customer acknowledges and accepts the payment terms.

    An Expert responded to your question which is why you received a charge for the balance due, $31.00 in this case.

    I hope this clears up the confusion about your charges.

    At this time, since it seems you no longer need assistance from the attorney, we have closed your question and issued a refund for the charges that you incurred. You should see the funds back on your card in the next 3-5 business days at the most.

    We will reach out to you privately to discuss any further details of your account.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance or if there are any other questions about the site that I can answer.

    Made a request, charged $5 - no issue. Received follow up question from the 'expert' and responded immediately. Charged $25 - no issue. Despite several calls spread over a month there was no further communication from the expert and despite assurances that JustAnswer would find another 'expert' there was no further communication from them either unless I instigated it.

    Firstly - About my rate of my experience. There is no provision for showing when an illegal act has been made upon any person, firm or corporation or I would have cited the law, and given a negative star rating. While viewing the JustAnswer website to understand how it worked, and various requirements of the site, plus unable to find any decent documentation of the complete 'wherewithal' I had to enter into the start of asking a question for a better understanding. Before I could even begin to see the setup I was required to put in my personal and financial information. I did see that they would charge $5.00 to enter into the site, but had seen where they claim there would not be a charge, or be given a refund if I was dissatisfied with the site, or response to my question. I did not worry about that part as I did not intend to ask any question, or use any of the so-called 'Experts' for additional charges.

    I asked no question, or connected with any person, but was charged $28.00 for just going in to look things over. When I saw the charges on my credit card that were paid out, I attempted to file for a refund. There again I found a more serious problem with the website. There is no contact method unless a person becomes a member at which time the person must also enter their finance method. There is no manner provided for a person to contact any member of administration without first becoming a registered member, but the company has the ability to "steal" funds from that person.

    Just because a person goes to the JustAnswer site is in no way any guaranteed intent to either join, or ask a question. It may also mean that they just want more information that any type of FAQ's can answer. JustAnswer should not be allowed, or have any provision where anyone must join and provide any financial information before having the provision for the person to ask questions of the Corporate administration. I can provide a copy of the charges leveled upon my credit card. No one should have to call for a refund. A mere contact statement should have the method to do so right in the website.

    JustAnswer has resolved my issue and refunded my money. Thank you.

    I'm just sad it took a public complaint to get that to happen.

    Original Review: May 19, 2017

    I am feeling scammed. I have just sent my 5th email to JustAnswer customer service. In January I was having a computer/email problem that I couldn't resolve. I was looking for assistance and came across JustAnswer. So I decided to try them. I input my problem and the first thing they did was ask for 5 USD. I paid and tried to proceed but got nowhere fast. This may well have been a function of what was happening with internet services in my current country, rather than an issue with Just Answer.

    However, I received absolutely no assistance with my problem and never went back to them. Recently I was checking my bank account and found JustAnswer had taken a further 35 USD out of my account for NO service and certainly without authorisation. Given that I had been unable to proceed with my request for assistance, this is, quite simply and completely, inappropriate.

    I am currently attempting to get my money back but am getting the runaround. Initially, I was inundated with emails; 5 in the first 24 hours; with repetitive requests for the same information from different people. And one saying they "can't find my account." Well as far as I was aware I didn't have an account, so that is not a surprise, but they were still able withdrew money without authorisation and I want that money back. Since then I have heard nothing, now 2 days on. I don't know if this is a scam or simply a company with extremely poor business practices but I'm feeling absolutely conned. Since it was an unauthorised withdrawal for no service or product I have no receipt. The only thing I have is a copy of my bank account transaction receipt showing the withdrawal details.

    Hello Diane,

    We're very sorry for any frustration you've experienced. We checked your correspondence with our customer care team and found that your question was originally posted on a guest account. That means that the account did not have an email address, therefore you were unable to receive email notifications from our site when an Expert posted an answer for you.

    We're very sorry it if feels like it took a while to have the issue resolved, it appears that it took a couple of email exchanges for the Customer Support team to get the necessary information in order to locate your account. At this time your account has been updated with your email information.

    If there was any confusion about the charges on your account we can attempt to clear them up now. The full cost of your question would have been explained on the payment page. Customers can post their question with a $5 deposit, with the remainder deposit being charged when an Expert responds on your question page. A technician did respond to you which is why the remaining charge was processed.

    We have refunded your payments and you should already see the funds back on your account.

    We hope that we have addressed all of your concerns. If we can be of further assistance, please let us know. This is the link to our help center, http://ww2.justanswer.com/help.

They said they would charge me a fee of $5, which I didn't mind paying at the time, and the next thing I know, I have a $22 charge on my PayPal to them. What also seemed suspicious is I get an email that my PayPal acct password got changed. I immediately called PayPal to change my password. I don't think it was a coincidence since it happened all within a few minutes of my being charged the $22! Also, after I made the mistake and clicked OK to the $5 charge but charged $22, another page comes up as if payment wasn't paid. They were trying to charge me double!! VERY UNSATISFIED!!

    The $5.00 deposit is the charge for posting the question and the remainder deposit is usually taken after the Expert responds.

    In this case it appears that you requested a refund of the PayPal charges within 5 minutes, so when the Vet responded shortly after that and you tried to view the response, the funds had already been refunded and you were asked to post a deposit again.

They show a picture of a tech and mention his credentials and show the with the number of satisfied customers he/she has had. At that stage I assumed he would respond to my questions after I submitted my credit card info. No way, it is mandatory that you join one of their monthly services to take the next step. Of course they tell you that you can cancel at any time but how many people forget to cancel when they no longer need the service. And I would probably be one of them.

    This is resolved with a refund. However running an online business myself, the practice to automatically enroll someone in monthly membership using saved credit card info (without consent) is giving your website a bad name. Looking at the reviews, I am not the only one had this bad experience. After the trial ends, if someone is interested in using the service, they will sign up themselves. No one has that many questions needing expert opinions on monthly basis. I have changed the rating to 3 stars, thanks to the customer support resolving this in a quick manner.

    I had a question concerning a mantel clock and submitted my question when asked. Then they said they would find someone to answer and wanted to charge a $5 deposit or 'good faith' fee. I reluctantly gave a credit card no. with the understanding that the fee would be refunded if I didn't use the service. Next, I was told that I would be billed a $30 fee to have my question answered, but had the option of cancelling. I hit the cancel button and exited, but my credit card was charged the $5 fee, with no credit for it, and was also charged a $31 fee from Clock Fix.

    I think it is wrong to conduct business in this way as we should have been told of the $31 charge earlier. I am going to call the credit card co. to dispute the bill and refuse to pay it.

    Original Review: April 13, 2017

    I tried to phone them but could not get through on both their phone numbers as it would not connect. I live in Israel but used a UK credit card. I am very concerned. On the 3rd April I asked a question and paid 25.51 shekels. I have just received my credit card statement and it shows an additional membership fee of 197 shekels and 2 days later a tech help fee of 154 shekels. I most certainly did not ask any further questions and I did not ask for any additional help nor to become a member. I have therefore been overcharged the sum of 351 shekels which I want refunded immediately. As I get my credit card statement once a month I would not be aware of these overcharges at the time.

    Please deal with this problem immediately. I am very cross as I went by the ratings they had received before I used them. Someone in their company has put these additional charges without notifying me by email, fax or phone call. They have a referenced ** on my credit card so it was obviously activated by their California branch.

    I went online today to simply look up a definition of a term I had never heard of before (unremarkable cervix). I googled "unremarkable cervix" and someone else had already asked that question so I clicked on the site which was apparently JustAnswer. When I was reading on the page, a chat balloon came up and I told the person I was just looking for a definition and reading about it. They proceeded to ask me about if I had a doctor, normal pap, etc. which I found intrusive so I kept writing... "I've got great doctors. I'm good. Just looked up definition." Which in the comments of their page was pretty much being answered on their site already only I was being distracted from reading it by the chat person who was identified as a gynecological assistant.

    Next the person proceeded to tell me to pay $5. I just clicked off the site and thought how laughable. I literally found their prying for info intrusive to what I was reading or trying to read but couldn't finish because of their persistent chat/questions and now when I'm looking on this site, it appears this JustAnswer site is totally scamming people.

I did join as a member, I did put in my credit card info, wrote my question, but was unable to submit it because they REQUIRED a cell phone number. I do not have one, I had "supposedly" been chatting online with a CSR, and when I couldn't submit the question because of the cell phone issue, I kept going back to the chat feature explaining I did not have a cell phone number to give them and couldn't submit the question. However, they did charge my Visa with two charges of $5.00 + $23.00 for the answer to the question I was unable to submit.

    When I checked with them yesterday, they couldn't even find my email, they finally said, they had just created one for me and there was an answer waiting, so I would be charged. I never received any indication that my question had been submitted. Most unhappy with their website and their lack of customer service. I do not recommend anyone using them.

    Went on this site this afternoon as I’m have issues with my car. Submitted the question. Then was asked to pay a deposit of 5 dollars then a balance of 46 dollars on satisfactory answer. Total of 51 dollars. I went for the PayPal option as I don’t wish to put my CC details online. Only to have the full balance of 51 dollars come up on the PayPal charge. I haven't yet received anything but immediately PayPal charge is reverted onscreen to the full amount. I didn't proceed as this is not what is the deal was when initially asking the question.

    These sites are great if implemented correctly. I could probably have put my credit card details in and got the initial deposit of 5 dollars put through. Then who knows what would be charged to your CC after they have your details. Regardless of whether the answer to your question is good information or not. These sites do themselves no favors in a world of rip-offs, scams and sad stories of internet phishing.

    The expert response was incorrect, that individuals in the state of FL cannot proceed with Formal Administration, a form of probate without representation by an attorney, as it is considered practicing law. I checked with the Clerk of Courts and was given the exact opposite information, one may file Formal Administration forms with the Clerk of Courts and they will be given to the judge. The issue is finding the forms and completing them correctly as well as following the necessary steps in Formal Administration, it is an involved process but the Clerk of Courts said the information is available at the law library and she has had one person who is not an attorney proceed. (I spoke with the Clerk of Courts in Martin County Florida.)

    The expert insisted that the information given was correct, JustAnswers refunded their fee without hesitation which was commendable however I am unhappy at the expert's insistence that the information was accurate when clearly it is not.

This seemed odd. I went back to my emails and saw I would be charged $76 on top of the $5. This is misleading. I checked my card info. It was correct. In fact, they took $5 out of it, despite saying I had to update my details. So I just wanted to cancel the account. I tried to use their chat, but it was unavailable last night and today. So the chat is unavailable but you can access their "experts." There is a button to cancel membership. Apparently if it does not appear then you don't have a membership.

    Hello Greg,

    I'm sorry for the confusion about the good faith deposit. An initial $5 deposit is required at the time the question is posted and the balance of the question price is collected once an Expert responds to the question.

    This information regarding the deposit is displayed on the page where the customer is prompted to submit their payment details and questions are posted only when the customer acknowledges and accepts the payment terms.

    An Expert responded to your question which is why you received the email about the answer. We attempted to process a charge for the balance due, however, the payment failed for reasons we will disclose to you in private.

    When posting a payment to the site, the Expert isn't paid unless you’re satisfied with the help received and rate the service accordingly.

    An overview of this process can be found on the How It Works page here: http://ww2.justanswer.com/how-justanswer-works

    "Due to the text nature of the communication, it is advisable, as you discovered, to provide as much detail as possible. We do provide the ability to have a phone call with the Expert " from JustAnswer
    The above was the answer to my problem, yes I did get an answer to my legal question, but as I have indicated to them the fact that 1) provide question 2) connect with a lawyer or doctor or whatever 3) Talk one on one online (which leads you to believe that you will be chatting vs just an answer ) so was I pleased? well, I would say it was a hassle and the fault lies with the both of us. My advice, they are helpful only if you expect a Black or White, a Yes or No, or this is what you need to fix the problem, and don't expect an answer on a timely basis.
    Now the nature of my question and the answer received, honestly truly made it a point to spend the extra $61 and get a conversation and answer.
    I received three answers but the last one was "you would need to sue to take any action as a legal matter. Practically, some people would do that but not technically allowed." can anyone decipher that one?

    All in all, thank you JustAnswer customer service, at least you were responsive and attentive to my problem.

    Original Review: Feb. 8, 2017

    Updated on 09/24/2019: Originally a few years ago I had requested legal help, a small matter an inconvenience which received a cursory look and questionable answer from the merchant. Once I complained spending around $35, they offered not a reimbursement but a credit for another question. Two years later, I had a troubling issue with drainage in the kitchen sink. Immediately I was charged $5 + the remainder of around $12. I just figured I would work out this payment issue, after hoping to get a credible answer on my problem.

    I had originally checked YouTube, Google the issue, etc.. and came to the conclusion that I had a blockage in the drainage from kitchen to the main sewer line. I requested help with Just Answers for a secondary opinion, laid out all the details, what I had done and was told it must be the garbage disposal. I am unsure but at this point I am more knowledgeable than the so called expert. At least so far received credited back for my expenses and received another freebie. At this point I hope to possibly regift this freebie since I have no confidence in Just Answers.

    Original review: Contacted a few hours ago and added Amex card for $5 refundable deposit. I am a first time user, and all I wanted was an answer to a legal question. I provided my information, then email + created password probably for the answer, then a charge of $31. After processing the site led me to charges on a monthly basis, or our gold membership, or platinum yada yada. Hey all I wanted was one answer, not a membership to the club, with no way to opt out. Luckily, AMEX provided a fraud alert via text and would not pay until my consent. Since I have no clue as to why I cannot get one answer without joining the club, I opted out completely. Now I will advise if I ever see the $5 chargeback.

Additionally, I was charged for an online answer I never received in addition to the upgrade preference of the phone call. This company should make their policies clear.

    When I phoned about the problem, I was told I had to pay for the online answer, the deposit and the upgrade. Why would someone pay a 'deposit' which was not included in the payment when it went through? A deposit is a 'deposit' not an additional charge. And why would I pay for an online answer which was never given nor received because I upgraded service to a phone call. So THREE CHARGES for one answer. Will NOT be using this service again.

    Somehow I was enrolled your service at a cost of $38/mo. [Your mistake or mine, don't know]. I called and within one day the matter was resolved and my $ returned!!! That was fantastic, particularly in comparison to other companies' sorely retarded idea of "communication". Perhaps another additional business model for your firm could be doing consulting in this particular area; here's a place to start: "Sprint phone company". I signed on with them in November and cancelled with them in total exasperation early January; even their own point of sales people expressed total frustration with them. I just received yet another bill from them in the postage mail... I'll go no further now... Anyway thanks for your great service. It is nice to know there are companies like yours out there.

    Looking for some advice via internet. JustAnswer popped up. I read their info & mistakenly thought I was entering the question for review by a certified mechanic. When I entered my card information I noticed that the info was being "reviewed" by a technician to then pass to the mechanic. Before I could shake my head at the deception I had already entered my payment information. I immediately requested a refund. I was unable to see that the refund happened as my payment had been charged for 2 fees & then had 2 additional transactions for $0 dollars posted to my account.

    This week I suddenly have my payment card hacked with 3 different charges totaling more than $900.00. If not for my card carrier notifying me of the hack I would not have been aware & whoever was hacking my account would have kept stealing from me. The only payment interaction was with JustAnswer.com. Seems like the route of hacking is pretty clear. Don't trust this site.

    I made the mistake of trying JustAnswer and the "free" trial period cost me about 60 dollars so far. You have to pay $5 to sign up and they tell you they have a 30 day refund guarantee. But the "free" period ends after only 7 days and then you are charged the subscription price. I signed up for the cheapest rate and that is what I was charged the first month. Then the second month I was charged for the next highest rate. I never asked to change my membership and I would have canceled earlier if they had made it clear the free period was only 7 days. From the high number of complaints on this website alone I should never have clicked on the JustAnswer site and I will NEVER do it again. My advice is to stay away from them!!!

Then I was informed that I could get a 30 day free membership, which I signed up for. However, this morning, I find an additional charge on my credit card. I find this very confusing and frustrating.

    I recently used the JustAnswer to solve a furnace problem. That worked fine. A week later my bank account was hit for a $38 charge while I was expecting $5. Seems they are not upfront about their charges. I was charged $5 for asking a question and then $23 for the answer and $10 for a membership, none of which was made clear. Upon calling they agreed to refund the $10, but told me the expert who answered my question would not be paid if they refunded the $23. I would not recommend them as they are not upfront about charges. During my Q&A I was repeatedly given the option to talk with the expert via phone instead of email for an additional $24, but somehow they don't feel they need to be explicit about the other charges.

    I found this service to be worse than useless. I was inadvertently redirected there while searching for help from google directly. I wasn't able to get my password reset. Because my google ID is an iCloud email address they ended up resetting my iCloud password instead and without telling me they were about to do that. (Which is a nuisance since now I have to remember a new password.) By that point they'd charged $79 dollars to my credit card which I had to call an 800 number and spend about 10 minutes of time to get reversed (and I can't even make sure that's happened for a few days). In short I'd avoid this service because their site doesn't work correctly (you can't upload screen shots, for example, despite there being a button for it.) It generates lots of emails, wants to install software on your computer so they can control it remotely, and doesn't have people patient enough to really understand what your problem is before they attempt to fix it.

    I have been trying the Just Answer (JA) membership since I needed to work on my vehicle and "having a mechanic by my side" (so to speak) could be very helpful. I wasn't sure how JA charged its customers and I had to cancel "a few times" for several reasons, leaving me with just the $34/membership charge. Here are some reasons I had to cancel:

    I asked a question about how much it would cost to ask a question which, I thought was going to customer service but was directed to the mechanic instead. I never (and still have not) solved my mechanical vehicle issue (but still have not canceled my membership... Yet!). Customer service at Just Answer can be comparable to Comcast customer service! They hardly (or don't) get back to you if you email them a question. Most of the time you are just directed to another confusing web page. And, when you call... you're connected to someone in the Philippines (just like Comcast), who are very courteous people that like to continue repeating your question, thanking you and apologizing to the hilt... But cannot seem to grasp the ACTUAL QUESTION(S) you're asking. Very very frustrating!

    I am willing to hold off on canceling (my membership) for the last time but, no one has gotten back to my email questions I've been sending the last couple of days. And, I am STILL not certain on how JA charges you! Didn't know about having to TIP the professional. Didn't know that your star rating/review affected payment, etc. This is JA's TERRIBLE web page for explaining HOW IT WORKS. I don't see anything about tipping, how you're billed (it says "NAME YOUR PRICE" Huh? Is this Priceline?). How long/many times you can talk to someone? Can you talk vs email your professional? How much is membership? What are these other charges for premium services? With membership? Without membership? How many questions are you allowed to ask? If so, how much? Ugh... You are directed to go here: http://ww2.justanswer.com/how-justanswer-works

    So, even with a membership! It's a shame that JUST ANSWER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE (IF THEY HAVE ANY) CAN'T... JUST ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS about this service. Sorry everyone... I'm obviously frustrated because I'm STILL without my vehicle and when I reposted/restated my question (because I different pro to "try" and answer it), JUST ANSWER canceled it stating that I repeated my question! Ugh.

    I requested help in June 2016 concerning washing machine repair and was very happy with the response and happy to pay for the service. I put the payment on a credit card, which I don't use very much and foolishly haven't checked closely over the past few months. On checking this month's statement I found that I have been charged a membership fee of $54.59 on 20 Sept 2016. I certainly did not want ongoing membership and never intentionally agreed to it! Presumably I never unchecked a box at some stage during the process.

    I have yet to get home to check my past few months' statements but it looks like it's a monthly fee, so my simple question which I thought cost me around $30 has apparently cost me hundreds - so far. I have cancelled the membership today and really hoping they don't debit me again 20 October. I am very disappointed as I was initially very impressed with the service and thought it was a great idea and good value for money. As it turns out it would have been far cheaper for me to have a service technician come to my home and pay them to repair it.

    I have requested that the membership fee be refunded and sincerely hope that JustAnswers does the right thing and complies with this. If so, I will be more than happy to accept that it was all just a misunderstanding and my own stupid fault for not looking into it carefully enough. If not, I will have to assume that they are deliberately trying to trick people out of their money.

    PS. I have received an email whilst typing this advising that my "Plus Membership" has been cancelled. Worth noting that the only emails I have received from them prior to this one, was on 13/6/16 advising that "your answer is on it's way" . I have thoroughly checked my Inbox and found no other emails. If the service was legit I would have expected to receive an email welcoming to me to my Plus membership and confirming details of costs, benefits etc back in June.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting JustAnswer.

    I'm extremely sorry for any frustration we may have caused you. I will reach out to you privately to discuss the refunds to your account.

    It looks like you accepted a free trial of our membership program. At the end of the trial, the membership bills automatically to avoid disruptions in service. It is evident that you did not intend to continue with the membership after the trial ended, so as a courtesy I have refunded all of your membership charges. I have turned the membership billing off and you will not receive any further recurring charges.

    Again, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. I hope that we've been able to resolve this issue to your satisfaction. Please contact me if there is anything else I can help you with.

    I logged on to JustAnswer to ask a legal question which I was told would cost me $5. I paid this and then realized it was an American company and I am in Australia. Their website stated that you could cancel immediately and the $5 would be refunded which I did. I have received emails since stating that their experts cannot help me because I am in Australia. However, they have now taken $64 out of my account for membership in spite of an email informing me that my account had been canceled and that my $5 would be refunded.

    I had never heard of JustAnswer until I received seven text message alerts on my cell phone between 2 and 3 AM informing me that they had responded to "my" request for an answer. Realizing that someone had likely used my cell phone number on their registration (either by mistake or randomly), I contacted JustAnswer to request that my number be removed so that no future texts would be received.

    The reply I received from JustAnswer Customer Service Representative Kate informed me that they would be unable to do this until I sent them MY credit card information or agreed to pay them through a PayPal account. So, if I do not wish to be awakened again by a stream of text alerts, it will require a payment from me? This attempt at forced solicitation is inexcusable and shameful.

    During surfing internet to get a car problem information, I went into this site by accident. It showed only $5 to get an answer so I accepted only $5 for payment but I didn't accept any extra payment. I got an very simple answer but no more gotten. However, it pulled $43 more from my credit card and my payment information is saved at that site which cannot be deleted. And it says refund is possible thru the refund button but there is no that button at JustAnswer-my account which it mentioned on Q&A.

    Hello Seongyik,

    Thanks for contacting JustAnswer.

    I'm sorry for the confusion about the good faith deposit. An initial $5 deposit is required at the time the question is posted and the balance of the question price is collected once an Expert responds to the question.

    This information regarding the deposit is displayed on the page where the customer is prompted to submit their payment details and questions are posted only when the customer acknowledges and accepts the payment terms.

    An Expert responded to your question which is why you received a charge for the balance due, however, the Expert isn't paid unless you’re satisfied with the help received and rate the service accordingly.

    An overview of this process can be found on the How It Works page here: http://ww2.justanswer.com/how-justanswer-works

    With regard to your account, it does look like you were able to get in touch with customer support several days ago and we've issued a refund for the charges back to your creditcard.

    My dog has been having issues that I won't go into right now, but I went to JustAnswer to get some help for him. The recommended price to answer his question was $28 and I thought that was reasonable so I paid it. While I was waiting for the vet to answer, a pop up window appeared in the corner. It was a vet tech asking several questions to clarify my initial post. She ended with a "Great! That will help the vet, but I just need a $15 deposit to secure your place." I knew JustAnswer had a deposit system, but it would be absorbed into the fee or refunded back.

    Little did I know, JustAnswer just wanted my $15. It's been several days of communication with them now and they are telling me that I really didn't pay it, even though I provided proof from PayPal. I must have another JustAnswer account, or they don't know what happened and they can't help me. Bottom line, I had a question answered for $28 and it shows on my JustAnswer account, yet PayPal shows that there was clearly two transactions within minutes. One of $28 and one of $15. All I want is my $15 back. My theory is that the vet tech was for a different vet than the one who answered my question and that is who got my money.

    The medical answer I got was a direct copy and paste from Web MD. Followed by "Ask your doctor". The IT expert advised "Contact the manufacturer or return the tablet". You definitely don't need a PhD to come up with answers like these. I emailed JustAnswer that day saying, "The answers would only be helpful to a person with no problem solving skills whatsoever". They still billed me $40 per answer, though their website advertises in multiple places that you only pay the $5 good faith deposit unless you give the answer 3 or more stars. I gave them each one star. Being that I only have a BS in Biology, I would expect a medical doctor to give at least one piece of information that I didn't know.

    After visits by 2 plumbers I was at a loss as to why our Potterton Boiler stopped working consistently. I appreciate that sometimes it is hard to diagnose a fault without seeing it for yourself. But that is what these experts are there for right? I described the problem and that we had two plumbers who could not figure out the problem. I was asked to make a contribution before I could get the answer. I am not sure how much I said I would be willing to pay but next thing I know they have deducted £27. I still felt this was worth spending the money so I did not have to pay for more plumbers wasting my time. I got the answer from the 'expert' and called another plumber and paid him £95. I game him the 'experts' solution and he said that was not the problem.

    Finally I went back to the manufacturer, paid for a one year equipment insurance (£300) and got the product specialist in. He resolved the problem in 30 minutes but the problem was not as identified by Justanswer.com. I went back to the 'expert' and told him the problem was fixed and it was not as identified by him. His reaction was, "Congratulations on getting your boiler fixed. You are not obliged to take my advice." That might be true if I wasn't paying for this advice but to get it wrong and still expect to be paid? They may be good experts helping people every 9 seconds or whatever they claim but my experience with Justanswer was very poor.

    Buyer beware! JustAnswer.com does not advertise their prices upfront and deceptively lures consumers in with a $5.00 initial fee which can, as other reviewers have complained, can be quite expensive. To make it worse, they have a policy stating: "The funds are not transferred to the Expert's account until after the customer has given their answer a positive rating. Customers may request a prompt refund up to 30 days after payment if they have not given a positive rating and are unhappy with the answer."

    But the consumer is asked to give a rating on the expert's answer, NOT on their satisfaction with JustAnswer.com or their billing practices. The way it is set up, I assume most people answer the question about the expert long before they see their bank statement and realize how much they've been charged. Just because someone is happy with an employee (or an associate) of a company, doesn't mean they are satisfied with company as a whole. People who have grievances with a company should be able to seek recourse. In other words, just because you like the answer doesn't mean you like the deceptive billing practice or the extremely high charges imposed without proper notification or justification.

At that time I wanted to cancel before I got an answer but was locked in and they went ahead and charged the card the original $5.00 but then due to being locked in, they apparently need no further permission to continue. Being held prisoner and being a senior citizen was horrible. Unless this company makes you give permission on each charge before charged, do not go there and be trapped trying to make you spend more and more money joining them before you even got an answer to your question.

Customer service advised me that my question was answered and the fee was $34, the $5 was just a deposit.

    I will never use the company again - they have broken my trust. Using misleading information in order to make money is not an ethical way to transact business. If they would have been upfront about the fee on the screen that asked me for my credit card information I would have been able to make an informed decision. I read the screens thinking there had to be more to it. I didn't see the $5 deposit, $34 per question rate anywhere! The problem isn't even the $34 per question. It is the deceptive practice to get the $34. Don't manipulate me out of my money, let me give it to you willingly. Bad business move on their part. You can give people their money back - but it is difficult to repair a reputation of being untrustworthy. I wish I would have read all of the other reviews before I clicked on their link.

    On June 18 about 8:30 AM I asked the question: The wrong dog ate a ** pill 97.2 mg - both dogs are about the same weight and age. On June 18 at 9:35 AM I received a reply that my answer is on the way and it has been 24 hours since I asked my question. I paid my initial $5 and then another $14 and never received a reply back and just wasted my money on JustAnswer. Not happy with this JustAnswer website.

    Hello Rebecca,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us about this. We apologize for the confusion.

    In looking into your account it appears that you received a response from a vet 47 seconds after your initial question was posted, this is why the remainder of the deposit was processed. It may be that the notification email was routed to spam which may be why you did not see it.

    It also appears that you were able to get in touch with Customer Service to have the funds refunded back to your card the same day.

    Let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Five years ago I used this site. I sent my attorney a copy of a letter which I sent my then current HR person detailing a very negative situation that went through with a client. I wanted her to just comment on the letter. Now, 6/17/2016 I find it being used as advertising and promotion on the site for the attorney who I was using. The letter still has my first name in it! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME AS A PROFESSIONAL! Then I had to call and talk to a very unpleasant woman who not only had a problem finding the letter but could not guarantee me that the letter would no longer be used for promotion on their site. This site receives a F minus for unethical and sloppy use of a personal correspondence to one of their very sloppy attorneys.

    Hello Richard,

    Thank you for contacting JustAnswer.

    JustAnswer is a public forum, kind of like a radio call-in show, so questions and answers on the site are not confidential. Users of the site can remain anonymous to the public by using an anonymous username and not including their name, etc. in their questions.

    We will reach out to you privately to gather the information about your account needed to locate the question that you would like to have locked.

    Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

    This is the second time I used JustAnswer for my dogs. The first time was to diagnose Pigmentary Keratitis in my husky's eye. The travelling vet (we live in a remote location) didn't know what it was but the vet on JustAnswer correctly diagnosed it after I described what it looked like. She sent me photos to confirm. We ordered a homeopathic remedy based on her advice and the brown spot on her eye is shrinking.

    This time I asked for advice for my Corgi who had lot of pain in her stomach. After a lot of questions to rule out serious things like an obstruction or piercing of the intestine, the vet gave me advice to put her on a fast for 24 hours and then start her on a rice diet. I'm happy to say Cinder recovered wonderfully. She's my "baby" and I was so worried so her recovery was such a relief. A few days later the same problem occurred and we now believe her usual high quality, dehydrated, raw dog food has been changed since the company was bought out, and she can't tolerate that food any longer.

    I put her on a fast again like the vet suggested and kept her on brown rice and lentils (a complete protein when combined) for a few days, and have been gradually adding vegetables, chicken and a multi vitamin. I'll have to continue to give her homemade food or find a different brand for her now. We live in remote area, so I truly appreciate being able to get sound advice for my "fur kids" that I can rely on.

    Don't believe it when you read 'tech support specialists online now'. I asked a question and paid $40 at 3:40pm... It is now 9:07 and I have not heard anything. I will be starting the process to get my money back in 48 hours. Very disappointing.
