JustAnswer review: ripping off experts on the verification process 4

You were probably rejected because your expert qualifications were not up to JustAnswer's standards. If you can't pass the test, you will be rejected. If your degrees or certifications, liscenses or work experiance can't be verified, you will be rejected. If you HAD READ UP FRONT what would be required of you, you should have been able to discern the height of the bar you were going to be asked to jump and would have realized that you were not prepared to meet those qualifications BEFORE the Lexis Nexis verification fee was charged. More than half of the expert applicants are rejected because of lack of verifiable qualifications. I have been an expert for 2 years  in 2 categories but could not qualify as an expert in a third catagory because even even though I owned a business for several years that specialized in the service in which I was appling for expert status in, It had been closed for over a decade and my experiance therefore, could not be verified. I for one am very glad it is so difficult to become an expert on JustAnswer as it HELPS to weed out potential expert wanna bees that try to gain expert verification without really being an expert in that category. 

If even one of the things you list as part of the verification cannot be verified, you will be rejected. But, Having spent 4 years on that site as a boat expert, I quit because of the unfair treatment by the people who run that site. They are now all but done for because of this. They are ripping their experts off too. Keep in mind that the individual experts have no control over the billing. They just answer the questions and about half the time (while I was an expert) we didn't get paid. When that dropped to about 85-90 % of the time not getting paid, and that happend overnight, I quit answering for them. I went from making 3-5 hundered a day, to making 300 a month on june 28 2012. The day they started Pearl.com which is the same company with a different name. They are all around dishonest people.

I agree, I am a Journey level HVAC/R service technician with 37 years experience A.S in Mechanical Electrical Technology.
My verification, East Indian fellow call me from a noisy boiler room and ask me about myself! & would I hire myself again! not noticing my ph # and name were the same as the owner of my company!
JustAnswer has a no accept no pay policy, that is no pay to the expert, cause JustAnswer gets their money up front, and keeps all the money if the customer never accepts, JustAnswer has a AAA rating with the BBB as they will settle with everyone who goes through the BBB, they give this rating even if they only settle with customers via the BBB which seems the case.
There are a core of 4-5 "experts" that are online daily all day and night and most days of the year,
they use fake stock photos as the "experts" BillyJr aka Billy1961 and phil etc 2 of the most prolific, however Billy 1961 the HVAC mentor is feared among all the experts, for some reason Billy1961 has great pull with the admin at JustAnswer.com / Pearl.com and I suspect I know why! Allow me to demonstrate my findings...

I have a moderator saying that she will review the suspicious ratings. Give me your best links and I will include them. especially for the period of the first week in feb. Let's not overwhelm her, just like 3 or 4.

Hang in there. I busted BillyJr once with the 'you think I don't know who you are but we know that you are another expert trying to make us look bad". Never got a reply to that or from a moderator.

I will be back as soon as I get caught up

Hi, I noticed another expert posted on top of me. Please note this expert just showed up today and has no satisfied customers. I wanted you to know that in advance before you spend money on his answer or the part he wants you to replace..

CUSTOMER REPLIED
Yes Billy ...but thats wrong and it burned the motor...is there a definitive right and wrong way?

Billy1961 burns cutomers motors up all the time! wait until you see the ridiculous incomprehensible gibberish as wiring instructions! bwaaaaa!

http://www.justanswer.com/hvac/6cvkl-reset-heat-code-ruud-90-plus-furnace.html

billy1961 spends an agonizing hour telling customer to bypass each limit, all 3 to see if 24 volts is coming back to the circuit board! lol bwaaaaaa!

WTF?
Why not jumper the high limit terminals on the circuit board?

The hi limit terminals are right next to each other on the circuit board!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just another example of a magazine mechanic familiar only with reading about how to from actual experts that filled their data base!
The magazine mechanic cracks me up
!
Tell me, why bypass the 3 limits in their various locations to diagnose the limit circuit?

Its ignorant, going on and on, even advising the customer stick a pin through 2 wires laid across each other!

Its assinine and painfully embarassing.

expert, warmneighbor got sickof the billyjr abuses as ha gurutech67!

if Justanswer would look at the experts emails to each other, billyis an ongoing joke among the experts!
even phil, aka alumilite said Billy was abusing the peer review process with educated experts who were a threat to billy!

using dirty tricks & fake customers to stat pad
as with Greg Kelsey, a fake home inspector billy uses to pad on subscription! AN unlimited ability to autofellate in public, with each rating of excellent!
