“Plugged Toilet”

Georgie F.
9/9/24

Joshua gave me excellent advice and information on how to fix our plugged up toilet. He was patient and explained the different techniques and possible reasons we had a problem. And this 83 year old female did it! Thanks!

“Wrong schematics”

Michael S.
9/2/24

Trying to find a wiring diagram for my 2021 Ford Ranger. Was sent nice colored schematics, which turned out to be incorrect. In all fairness, the Ford dealership didn't have the right schematics either. Nothing seem to match the vehicle. We identified the proper wire by using the pin that it was attached to rather than the color of the wires, which were not correct by either person.

Laying in bed at night worried about a medical situation, pretty sure I have worked out what I need to do. To get medical professional confirmation at the touch of a button helped me relax and saved a lot of effort in trying to see a doctor in person over a busy week. Great service.

What a joke and a waste of money. Did absolutely nothing for me. The" expert" could hardly speak English and the responses I received were obviously programed replies. So obvious. Refund guarantee, bull$#*!. Cost me 62.00 for nothing.
Don't waste your money!

Tip for consumers:
Waste of money and terrible service. No honor to refund guarantee.

They said $1 for a one time fee, once I paid that they charged me $50 for a membership i didn't ask for and won't give me a refund. They only mentioned the extra $50 after I paid the $1? Now I have more to worry about than chest pains.

Just how much of a scam this is you'll discover
If you try to terminate the payments that by the
Way wasn't obvious were going to be monthly.
It impossible to stop the crooks taking your money
Without having to cancel you credit card.

This is a total con they will charge you before your trial is even over and they will not issue a refund even if you do not use their services at all they say that they provide certain things and they do not! Total rip off! Terrible shame on them!

Tip for consumers:
Whatever you do do not sign up for the free trial they will charge you before it's even over and they will not issue a refund even if you do not use their services at all their total rip off

Was having a starting problem with my Isuzu Trooper, could not afford to take it to a dealer again, Gary told me the probable cause and gave me the solution. My grandson did the job as he is a second year apprentice technician and it worked. Thank you, you saved me a lot of money.

Less than one star/Scam/Back Door Charges
Less than one star, more like zero stars! This company is a scam, stay away, ask your questions for free on Google! After posting a question, I was automatically enrolled in a monthly membership to my surprise for $28.00. After catching the creative accounting, I immediately called and canceled this back door charge, but the company refused to give me a refund. So now, I am on a quest to do $28 worth of damage in reviews. Note: I paid $30 to have someone answer my antique question, so the service that I received was paid for already in April'2023. Funny how the "monthly membership" didn't reappear until mid-June.

I was in the process of installing factory fog lights on a 97 Grand Cherokee, and had a wiring identification question. The answer I received, within 1 hour, perfectly matched what I had on my specific vehicle and allowed me to quickly and successfully complete the installation. Also, the answer I received was well written and in a way as to indicate that the mechanic cared about the question at hand. I will use this service again in the future.

We were not offered a one-time service option or a trial membership. We were told that there would be a $1 temporary charge. It is certainly not obvious from the initial contact that the temporary charge was to validate the credit card for charging a monthly fee for service as there is an ongoing membership commitment when you utilize their services. It is well hidden in the terms and conditions. And they will insist on charging you the monthly fee, even if you NEVER get any advice or service from them. I wonder how many people they are charging $37+ per month who have never actually gotten advice from them or have never called back a second time?

The site is not scam, however in my opinion, the experts, the professional one, violate professional ethics. The site in turn violates confidentiality making the answers available to anyone who did not pay for it. Medical experts should not be allowed to answer online questions since no one can be diagnosed over internet and without taking responsibility for that. I submitted my suggestions to the site, but no changes were made. Someone has to question the legality of licensed professionals answering questions on this site.

Do not trust this website, they will charge you more than agreed and will not refund your money. Honestly there are plenty of lawyers that won't do you dirty and they don't provide a half decent service. Do not trust this site!

While polishing silver before the holidays, I got curious about the age and origin of an item that's been in my family for well over 100 years. I was able to track down some of the hallmarks but not the crucial maker's mark.

In my search, I stumbled across Just Answer and, for a small fee, purchased a one-week trial. It was really easy to chat with them and upload photos of the item and the hallmarks. Within a couple of hours, I received a detailed report about who made it, where, and the exact year. She even provided an appraisal and suggested several places where I might sell it, if I was interested in so doing.

They trick you into thinking you are paying $5 for a month trial then they will full charge you for the whole month if you cancel within a day and will refuse a refund these people are scammers! Google or Chat GPT will give you better answers don't waste your money... Cost me $53 for 1 question.

I asked a technical question with one of their techs and got an immediate answer. I paid the $1 fee and added a $3 tip. I did not join Just Answer but was charged $37 when the published fee was only $1. There are laws regarding "bait and switch" businesses and Just Answer is definitely in violation.

My helper wrote me simple instructions and never left me until we had completed the procedure. I am not great on a computer and my Kindle is smaller then my lap top. So we were limited on what we could do. And if I needed to to repeat something he told me how to do that too.

My little yorkie was very lethargic after I discovered her back nails were bleeding. The vet responded so quickly and advised me she was probably just sore and told me what medicine to buy. I was so worried about her but the vet definitely gave me some peace of mind.

First you need to give your credit card, thinking that you will get legal advice. After they have it, then they state that you are not getting legal advice. I was unhappy with the worthless answer I received, but I am unable to ensure my credit card will not be charged anyway. This is a big scam!
