“Problem fixed”

Curt B.
9/17/24

Everyone was helpful and informative even though it did take a day they did get my situation taken care of and I appreciate that. Hopefully I won't have to use them again but if I do I'll be comfortable in that. Thank you for your service.

“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.

The vet's honest answer about my dog's quality of life helped me feel better about my recent decision to euthanize my dog. My dog had been living with brain cancer for nearly a year and my family had tried many treatments but it seemed like we had reached the "end of the road" and there was more suffering than joy for my dog. But still, I felt very guilty and wondered if we had done enough. The vet answered my question very quickly and gave me his "what I would do if it were my dog" answer that put my heart and mind at ease with my decision. I appreciated the help today.

Tyler told me what to do and it worked. My REGRET is that I only hit 3 stars and wanted to make it 5, but the site wouldn't let me. I apologize to a fine advisor.
Perhaps someone with some juice could change my mistake and ramp Tyler's rating up to FIVE, which he deserves! Cost $31.

They claimed to only charge a one time fee of 5 dollars that would be refundable, then they charge you 65 more dollars for the membership. You're not able to get a refund because the additional 65 dollars is "attached" to the 5 dollar charge, that was customer services words. I paid 70 dollars to ask some one a question about a painting. The online chat help was completely useless as was the phone call with customer care.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use this website unless you want to pay 70 dollars to ask some one a question

Hello Isaiah,

Thank you for contacting JustAnswer. I hope your day is going well.

I’m sorry for the confusion about how the membership works, but I’ll be happy to assist you today. The membership fee is refunded in some situations. For example, if a customer question is not answered we will certainly refund that fee as we did not deliver our services.

In a case where the question is answered the membership fee is not refundable as the service requested was provided. I've reviewed your account and see that you posted your question which we are not able to refund as the fees are provided at the time of posting the question. In doing so you agreed to enroll in a JustAnswer membership and the following charges: a one-time join fee & monthly membership fee. This covers your first question and any questions you may ask until the end of your membership.

Please send me an email if there's anything else I can do to help.

Best regards,

Angela

I ran out of my normal emergency medication for my dogs seizures (liquid Valium injected anally) and had a question about using a substitute medication I had on hand. The vet gave me the specific dosage and how to administer the medication and my only reason for deducting a star was that it took a few hours to get a response. The information was accurate and I will use it in future I'm sure but I would have liked it a little sooner.

My E-mail to JustAnswer query concerned electrical lighting. JustAnswer wrote me to clarify several very critical related issues, and answered me with several Code-supported statements. All via E-mail, without searching, or even knowing what else was related to search for!.

They went above and beyond in trying to help me with the computer problems! Very professional, helpful, respectful help. They didn't just try to get rid of me as quickly as possible or demean me for my lack of knowledge

My question was answered satisfactorily, but, since the answer turned out to be really simple, I felt it was expensive. I don't like to have to sign up for a monthly membership. I don't have enough issues to justify it. A one-time fee would be much better, but I understand your reasons in order to maximize your profit. I will be cancelling my membership.

I did a TNR (trap neuter and release) of a community cat and noticed after 5 days that there was swelling, bleeding and a protrusion from his scrotum causing me to seek a Vets medical advise. Rebecca, the Vet that responded had 30 years of veterinary experience and was so helpful in alleviating my worries and what to look for so that I would know if I should take him to the Vet and when. I had received some inaccurate information from another source and Rebecca was able to answer all of my questions so that it made complete sense.
I will definitely use this resource in the future.

I didn't subscribe to this site. My account was hacked and they started dedicating the monthly fees from my checking account. Once I figured out where my money was going it took even more time to get it stopped. So I had additional money to go to them that I didn't approve. Then I had to create an account to even post this review.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't do it.

A scam website that locks you into a recurring billing cycle. I called them and they gave me an incorrect answer, but I was stuck with a recurring bill, I don't believe that this is not a credible service provider.

They will mislead you into paying $5 advert fee and charge you $60 without sending you a reminder. My advice is... do not subscribe because JustAnswer is not a customer-centric company. They are only after the money.

I had 2 separate veterinarians answer my questions. They were very insightful and made sure they gave me good advice. I felt confident and secure about the answers they gave me. Turned out 100% correct diagnosis too.

My computer tech adviser, Mark Ewing, was always courteous, highly sensitive to my stressful reaction to what I considered a very significant problem, and very willing to do whatever would take to address it satisfactorily. I recommend Mark without reservations of any kind. In addition, other representatives of JustAsk addressed a different issue quickly and to my complete satisfaction.

I agreed to a $5 fee for a first answer and then they automatically charged me for a $60 fee. I tried to get a refund 5 minutes later and they said I was not eligible. They answered my first question and then I got no other responses. This is a scam in the first degree. Do not think you can get an answer for the $5 they promote. You will be charged the $5 plus the $60 plus a recurring monthly fee right away and no refund. BEWARE of this site. DO NOT USE THEM.

I used my credit card to ask a simple question about my mobile phone to Just Answer. I have been charged $54 per month since! I have emailed this company I even phoned and left a message. I have tried to follow the prompts to cancel the payments but am blocked even though I have signed on. After seeking external legal advice and have contacted the bank I have been advised that the only successful way to stop these illegal transactions being withdrawn each month from my account is to cancel my credit card! How appalling is that!

Paid the $1 in act of desperation to recover lost data. Absolutely no help. Thought I'd cancelled. Should've been checking my bank statements more closely because I've been charge $46 a month since November. Absolutely impossible to cancel online. No customer service number on the website. Advised there would be a $20 cancellation fee. Finally googled the company and found a number and was able to cancel over the phone. They did refund the most recent charge, but I still think it's a racket. BE WARY! That $1 they charge can quickly turn into a couple hundred (WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT) if you, like me, think you've cancelled then find out the company has no record of the cancellation. Did I mention they were absolutely no help with the issue I had—and that lack of help cost me nearly $250. TOTAL SCAM!

They made an unauthorized charge to my discovery card. They said it was non-refundable including the 39 $ cancellation charge. In the end they weren't able to give me a straight answer. Everything ended up costing more money.

I am seriously scared of tax season this year. A company I used to work for spun off a sub company, which sold, and then the parent company sold to a public company. I have shares in both companies... and no idea what the tax implications are. Talk about a mess come April 15! I had a ton of questions and I don't have a CPA. I'm typically a TurboTax kinda person, but this year is going to be different. A friend of mine told me that I could talk to an accountant through JustAnswer, so I gave it a shot. I'm seriously impressed! The accountant walked me through my tax liability at both companies, gave me a general idea of my AMT burden and just made me feel more confident in general before filing my taxes. I really want the woman I spoke with to do my taxes for me. Not sure they offer that service, but I'm going to ask!
