Credit card charges
I did not authorize these charges. My credit card was charged $37.00 on 4/18/21 and $37.00 on 5/18/21, also a double charge of $7.00 was charged on 4/16/21 and 4/18/21. Please refund me $81.00 and do not charge me again.
Thank you,

I am complaining about having my money taken from me when I wasn't aware
Last November I called to ask about my dying dog. She passed away the next day and a few weeks later I recieved a bill for the call I had made. When I
received my statement from the bank yesterday and found that I have had $42 .oo taken from my account for the last 3 months! $126 00!
I am 80 years old and my precious dog of 13 years died it took most of my saving for the Vet's bill plus cremation etc. I pay more than half my pension on rent and now this... I am suffering from Financial Hardship and beg you to refund my money.
The Fraud group from my bank has asked that you kindly refund the money, otherwise I will have to go through their system to help me.
The payments were taken on 10 /03/2021...[protected]

I appreciate your kind acceptance of my situation and hope to hear from you ASAP... Thank you

Unauthorized credit card charges
I thought that I was getting a one month "TRIAL" period. The first charge for the JUSTANSWER*TRIAL, on my Feb 28, 2021 to Mar 27, 2021 bank statement of $1.00 was expected.
Then Mar 28, Apr 27, 2021 statement shows [post date04/04] [transaction date04/05] [Reference number [protected]] [Description JUSTANSWER *TECH HELP [protected] CA] [Amount $46.00].
Bank statement Apr 28, 2021 to May 27, 2021 shows [post date 05/10] [transaction date 05/05] [Reference number [protected]] [Description JUSTANSWER *TECH HELP [protected] CA] [Amount $46.00]
I am afraid that the following month bank statements will continue to show charges that I was never was asked about and would have never consented to.
Desired outcome: I would like to have all charges to my account made by JUSTANSWER credited back to my account.

What a scam. Do not use!
You ask a question to their so called expert. It's a flat fee. That fee was fine. $5. Then they bill you $88.00 dollars! It's a total scam. I had one good answer about an antique piece. I asked about another piece. It took weeks and several idiots to get an answer. I know more than the so called expert! Do not use! They will slam fees on your credit card! Warning!

Monthly product subscription
I took out a trial with this company and the company never got me a satisfactory answer within the 7 day trial period so I cancelled via their website.
However, they claim that the cancellation never went through and failed to refund my money.
Desired outcome: Refund me $50 x 3 months (March, April and May subscrption)
JustAnswer
I had a question about my income tax filing and went on the IRS website, but somehow got switched to JustAnswer. I asked the question and was told it would cost a dollar and I agreed. The answer was a suggestion to go to a CPA which I did. I got a bill on my Visa credit card (transaction date 3/20, billing date 3/22) for $50.00. the billing cycle ended 4/17 and I went to pay it 5/2 when I noticed the bill. I called and told them I did not sign up for their services and had received a bill for $50.00 on 3/20 and they said they would refund the money. I subsequently got several emails from them offering their assistance which I ignored. I received my Visa bill for charges 4/18 to 5/17, 2021 and had a refund of $50 on 5/2 from JustAnswer and a bill for $50 on 4/20 from JustAnswer. I called and told them and they said the refund was for April, but I told them again I had never joined and they replied that it was too late to receive a refund for March. I called my bank and they said their was probably fine print and I had joined inadvertently. That may be true, but I recall on that day on the website repeatedly saying I did not want to sign up and interestingly, was never charged the $1 for asking the question.
Desired outcome: I would like a refund of the $50 or have JustAnswer investigated for deceitful information about joining.

Charges by just answers
Just don't! You call, they don't have a cure.
You try to cancel and you have to wait a week!
That gets away from you. Then you are charged every month.
Please don't fall for this.
Desired outcome: Save people for this scam!!!
Complaint about stealing Money!
Had a problem with my car and thought I'd try them as they came up in my google search. Ended up i got the problem fixed before they had a chance to reply, so i never used the service. That was a few months back and I've just noticed they have been taking funds ($50/month) illegally from account ever since. They are nothing but a scam and shonky operators hiding under sneaky terms and conditions! If you are contemplating using them, DON'T!
Desired outcome: Cancel my accpount and return my hard earned funds!

Scam charged me without my authorization
This is a fraudulent switch and bait company. Don't do it, stay away.
On may 13, I purchased "last pass" a password manager. I could not get it to work, so I got the link from last pass. It clearly stated that as a premium customer service would be free. So, I contacted them and got joseph newman. I specifically asked him if this service was free since I am a premium customer. He said, no. I figured the answer myself while chatting with it, it had to do with my browser (changed it). I again asked if would be charged, he assured me no, but I would see $1 charge that would be reversed.
Today I got notification that my credit card was charged $46. I immediately, contacted my bank, and complained to just answer. They told me they cancelled my membership, which I never asked for, but they can't refund my monies, but will cancel my membership.
Clearly this is a scam of the worst kind. I will continue to write this story on all social media until I get my refund.
It's not the money, it's the scam!
Desired outcome: REFUND
It looks like there are several complaints just like mine. Fortunately they refunded my monies, after I sent several complaints to several agencies.
Just beware when you call this company. They are one of many companies who hook you, thinking you won't pay attention.
Legal Advice
Several weeks ago I paid $5 for a quick piece of advice; greatly received. Yesterday, a Saturday of all things, $66.00 was taken from my bank account.
Not signed up for extended period or 'subscribe'. No warning of the 'theft' of my money; my account crippled.
ACCC and AFP to be advised if no resolution before COB Monday May 17, 21
Desired outcome: Refund immediate
Got an answer for 5 dollars but was charged an additional 46 dollars without explanation
Used justanswer to pay 5 dollars for an answer to a question only to find they charged an additional 46 dollars without explanation. Contacted justanswer and they refused to refund the 46 dollars. There was no explanation that I would be charged 46 dollars in addition to the 5 dollars for the question. This was clearly fraud as there was no disclosure that an additional 46 dollars would be charged. Just answer was uncooperative when called and could not provide justification for not disclosing an additional charge of 46 dollars in addition to the initial 5 dollar charge. They literally stole 46 dollars from me as they did not disclose the charge prior to the disclosure of the 5 dollar charge for the question.
Desired outcome: Refund 46 dollars
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Scamming and fraud
I have been double charged for a membership that I did not sign up for. I made one phone and paid for ONE call only. I have been charged $46.00 for two months for services I did not ask for. I have called today and asked that this "secret membership" be cancelled. The answer they provided on my one and only question was useless. This is truly a scam operation. I noticed they keep using the "same experts" for totally different fields, technology and medical.
Desired outcome: refund for false charges
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Unauthorized credit charges.
I am an 86 year old woman, who was having a computer problems involving Facebook in February. When I tried to get online help, I was told it was unavailable and that I should contact Just Answer. (I have used this type of service in the past. But obviously not your company. There was only a one-time charge.) When I contacted your company II was told I'd be charged a small fee for your help. The trial price quoted was $l.00. Not surprisingly the price turned out to be $46.00. The repairman did a good job, so I paid from my Pay Pal account. I don't always check the monthly charges.. But I got an Email recently from Just Answer thanking me for my membership and stating the $46.00 monthly fee had been deducted from PayPal. So I checked and found that there had been three other charges in Feb., Mar., and April besides the May charge. I was not told I was signing up for a membership, nor what the charge would be. I believe this was deceptive and would like the last three charges deducted from my PayPal account. If I don't receive confirmation that this was done, I will notify Facebook, the FTC, and USA Gov.
Desired outcome: Deduction of $138 from my PayPal account.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Monthly fees I did not agree to (plus worthless "answer")
N march, I had a simple legal question. It had to do with eligibility for unemployment benefits. Of course, I could have just applied, and see what happens, but because the ca edd system is so overwhelmed, I didn't want to further burden them with an ineligible claim to process. I decided to use this service. I paid $64 to ask the question from a licensed attorney (supposedly). His answer? "gee, I don't really know. I suggest that you go ahead and apply, and see what happens." I could have figured that out on my own, right? Nonetheless, I paid the $64, for worthless "advice." I have now been charged sixty dollars a month for the past two months! I "signed up" for a monthly "membership" in a worthless legal advice-giving company? I never signed up for anything. If I cannot get any relief from this scam, I will have to cancel this credit card, in order to stop them from charging my card each month. There's no "proof" they'll send me to show that I "signed up" for this fake service, yet they are using my credit card as a piggy bank.
Desired outcome: Refund the two $60 fees that I did not agree to - even though the "answer" was worthless, I'll agree to pay the $64 that I paid upfront to ask the question
