Won't cancel my 5 day trial membership. Continued to charge 34.00
I used the service to get information on repairing my 1995 Mercedes C280. I had my answer successfully given so I no longer needed the service. I then asked to discontinue my subscription to My Answer. They still charged my account even though I asked them to discontinue my service. When I called to resolve the situation they said that "always send a confirmation when people discontinue using their service." That turned out to be a bold faced LIE. No confirmation or anything from them was ever sent event though I left my reason for discontinuing the service. They say they have no record of me ever contacting them about discontinuing service. I need my 34.00 back from these crooks.

It's a scam
I paid $5 for a 7 day trial on 6-10-2020
I cancelled my membership BEFORE the 7 days ended on 6-17-2020
The day AFTER I cancelled I was charged $29.99 for their "month to month" membership on 6-18-2020
I've tried several times through their cancellation links provided on their website to cancel my membership.
My membership status now says I'm on a "month to month" membership.
HOWEVER, whenever I click the links it just redirects me to the "my questions"
I've tried "chatting" with customer support, but its just a bot that keeps giving me the same answer, and it keeps providing the aforementioned link, that just redirects me to the "my questions" page.
I simply want to cancel my membership, and I want a refund of the 29.99 I wasn't supposed to be charged.

Advice
Used the service x1 a year ago. Was charged fees for 'membership' illicitly taken from my visa account on 25.6.20. Bank notified and merchant blocked.
Merchant notified via their site but has not responded. Contacted them via chat function. Was sent link seeking my banking details and then cut-off rather than addressing the issue. 3 words describe this company. Scam, scam, scam.
1 question
This service is very misleading.
The web site strictly said $5.
See attached email. I was never told I would be charged $65. !
I went back on web site and cannot see anywhere where it says, I wanted a membership.
This is just blatant stealing from people.
You are lawyers so I'm sure getting my money back would be futile. You probably had in fine print somewhere, the details!
I was not given the option of opting out of ‘membership!'
Where's my receipt for that $65. You took out? I only received the attached $5. Receipt!
You ppl are typical & should all be Politicians!
I will never use your service again and will warn as many ppl as I can that YOUR SITE IS A RIPOFF!
Have a nice day!

Bait and switch
I went to gethuman.com to get a number to logitech to get knowledge as to why my remote failed functioning correctly. Instead of logitech, the site took directly to justanswer.com, while promising they would help me. The took a dollar trial (bait) and ended up saying they need to share screen with me and it would cost $39.99. Meanwhile I had not spoken to one human these happenings took place with their chatbot. There are several things wrong here: 1- gethuman.com is not shown to have any association to justanswers.com 2- logitech was the brand and item I was inquiring, never once was asked by chatbot. 3 - they took a dollar for only to take $39 more and provide no relevant information or human being.

Recurring charge of $34.00 withdrawn from bank account
I had one question and it was answered. I did not sign up for a membership. Why was a charge of $34 withdrawn. I need that refunded to my account.
I can't submit unless I use 350 characters otherwise the complaint will not be noticed or go unanswered. How ridiculous is that. So here are additional words to fill the space

Would you please cancel my membership.
When I paid an extra £35 on top of the original £5 asked I thought it was just so that I could speak to a doctor - in fact he could not come to the phone. I now see on my bank statement that another £35 has been taken out and I had no idea I was signing up for continued membership. Not at all pleased with all of this - not at all satisfactory. I certainly do not wish to continue with the membership. I have tried the cancellation process and do not agree to pay more to cancel

Service
I contacted JustAnswer to help me with a car repair question. I was charged and was contacted by a so called"expert". All I got from him was a lot of non pertinent info in the way of PDFs that had no bearing on my question. He never did answer any of my questions, but tried multiple time to get me to spend more money by upgrading. It was a total waste of time and money. In my opinion it is nothing more than a scam. AVOID, AVOID!

Unauthorized billing
I contacted this site some time ago for a question about finding a part. Now I find my credit card has been billed $75 canadian for a service I neither want nor need. How do I get this cancelled and refunded?
I did not agree to this service and have received no notice of billing and do not know how to cancel. I am a pensioner and cannot afford to give away $75 a month for something I did not agrre to prchase

Unauthorized credit card charge
On 4/18/20 I submitted a question to "justanswer.com" about the covid 19 extension for filing tax return this year and the representative gave me an answer and confirmed it with a copy of an irs notice. My credit card was billed $52.00. (visa reference number 2469216fx2xhn70k1) no problem until 4/26/20 when my credit card was billed another $50.00 for "membership" that was not authorized. (visa ref. No.2469216g52xtn3kbl)
The 4/26/20 debit for $50.00 on my card should be canceled or refunded. Thank you.

Free membership
For $5 sign up for free membership for 30 days, I was promised that an expert, nicholas, would offer a solution to me on an internet connectivity problem within 15 minutes... Justanswer advertises that most questions are attended to in 6 minutes... After about 12 minutes, he offered to call me to make the solution easier for $26... I waited 32 minutes with no communication with expert at all and cancelled my membership (which I found on ‘my account' was going to cost me in 7 days a whopping $46 membership fee).
Despite my cancellation, my visa was charged $5 and $26. How do I get my credit card credited back?

Deceptive business practice to get people to sign up and then to keep charging them
I had used this service back in December, 2019 for a furnace issue. The website led me to believe that I would only be charged if I was satisfied with the answer. The problem turned out to be not at all with what the expert suggested.
Then I noticed the charges a couple of months after that. The website didn't have a way to cancel online or request a refund except to call in. I was not able to get through, so I sent them a message from their website.
Then I see that I am still getting charged. I went in to the site again, and this time, they do have a way to cancel online, which is good. But I like to get a refund, and I tried their chat option, and that went nowhere. I left another email via their webpage, but I doubt that's going to go anywhere either.
I see that this company has a lot of complaints on BBB, though it looks like they have bots to keep their rating above four stars.

Overcharged for service not reveal.
I was told that when I first contacted this service that a $1.00 service fee would charge for service but refundable.
Never did I see any such information as I gave you all my personal bank information. That it implied a membership fee. I did not recall of any such information being on or during give my bank information to this service. For if I would known of the policy I am told after calling this into question with the customer service. I would not have wanted any help, or I would known to call after the seven days that I am told now that occurred. Not at all happy of being charged $34.00 dollar for something out of my control. I paid for what I ask for and gave compliments of rating for that. Which is accepted, but not paying $ 34.00 dollar for something not confirmed via-phone message.

Getting ripped off
I am being charged for a service I didnt ask for. I used your services last june and paid up front for my answer. Now I was reviewing my credit card statement and I found a withdraw for a membership fee. I called and try to explain the situation and I was told my membership was cancelled but that I could not get a refund for the membership fee. I have not used this service at all. The question I asked and got a answer to I paid for it up front. The lady I spoke with was named virgie and she called be back from this number [protected]. I asked her if I could speak to a supervisor and she told me none was available. Too bad. I never ask for or signed up for a membership. I feel like I am being taking advantaged of especially not being able to speak with a superviser.
