I proposed the" ANSWER TO MY QUESTION"; "upon submission" regarding "how to get soap out of my little puppy's right eye. (Note: The only time it has ever happened!). I made it very clear that if I was not given a faster and better answer than what I had mentioned; then I would just take the pup to the vet in a few short hours - I further explained that I did not plan to pay for "THE EXACT ANSWER, which I had submitted; as I already knew of ''that particular answer'! Their response was exactly what I told them I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE CHARGED; if they couldn't give me a BETTER AND FASTER RESPONSE! The answer was not acceptable! It was EXACTLY WHAT I EXPLAINED I WOULD NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING I CONSIDER "an unfair charge!" I specifically informed them that I would not be pleased nor would I pay for without a charge. I WILL NOT; AND NEVER REFER THIS WEBSITE TO OTHER PERSONS, In times of emergency! They DO NOT Practice with the hope of returning customers! They do not care about their reputation and repeat business. It is a shame that we (the customer) must pay the price - and a "business keeps making money; without giving real help for those of us who need it quickly in a form of emergency situation". It is a sad, sad world. A VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER :( VERY SADDENED BY THIS PRACTICE.

I am very annoyed that Just Answer had debited my account 3 times, and had not responded to my question. Their web-site is designed to make it difficult to communicate without committing money and it has misrepresented the 2 times I re-accessed to obtain their response to my original question, as new questions, even though I was referring to my original question. This, incidentally remained unanswered up to the time that I decided to give-up on my £22 original payment. Imagine my annoyance when my bank statement confirms that the unanswered question has cost me 3 x £22.00 - £66.00.
I shall be doing something about this.

I called this service several days ago with a serious question about FIP in cats. I got a Dr. Will who states he is a horse expert as coauthor of some type of journal. Once the site got my info I was put in the 'waiting room' and informed that I would receive an email or text message when my question was answered. I waited and waited and then, to pass the time I look up reviews for Just Answer on the web. As soon as I saw the reviews I called my credit card company and had my account changed.
I went back to the site and saw that I was still in the waiting room an hour later and now my question was being reviewed by several experts. I closed the site and thanked God for seeing the negative reviews before I got ripped off.

DO NOT use this site it's a con PLUS they will steal from you once they have your card/bank details.

I watched as their mod changed her name – logged off as mod, logged on as ‘expert' – she forgot to alter her status from ‘mod' to ‘expert' silly cow, plus the timing was pretty obvious anyway.

Plus the ‘expert' made the same spelling mistakes she did.

Plus I was asking a question about my car engine and she'd no more idea than me how to fix it.

I waited four days, didn't get one (real) expert reply, still couldn't fix my car so asked for my money back – a long drawn out process involving a phone call, a long wait and a large bill.

They refunded my money, cancelled my account, waited a couple of months, then started drawing money from my card again.

I've asked for my money back, they're ignoring me. If they don't pay me back within 24 hours I'm reporting them to the police – UK, US, wherever.

Don't let them get away with it people xx You report them too.

And if you haven't used them yet, if you're considering using them, for pity's sake DON'T.

DO NOT GIVE THIS SITE YOUR CARD DETAILS THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU.

Seems like a bunch of people miss the boat cause they either don't read the info or just panic when things don't go their own way. I never had a problem and got plenty of very good answers. The bad or not so good answers that I knew were a bunch of bull I got my money back, no problem, just call them and talk to a live person. Don't keep sending worthless emails to a robot.

I guess your experience depends on what expert answers your question. I have asked MANY questions on justanswer (mainly pet questions) and I have received excellent service within minutes of asking my question. I can even ask follow up questions, so if I'm not satisfied with the service I can ask until I am satisfied. These people are REAL and their qualifications are also real. In order to become a professional expert on the site you HAVE TO PROVE YOUR CREDENTIALS. Anyways, I recommend it highly. Sorry the rest of you had bad experiences.

After reading your comments I was scared! But when I went to check my e-mail, I had an answer within 30 minutes. I was needing to reset my camera and the "expert" was accurate, very easy to understand, and best of all, it worked! I had tried to go by the on-line manual and couldn't figure it out! I also tried to find a camera shop to help me but they had closed. So this was a very well spent $16 in my opinion!

I have to say that I am shocked! What happed here is the biggest breach of confidentiality I ever heard of! Imagine this; serial killer is contacting justanswers.com. He is talking with lawyer. He is admitting all crimes and seeking help…and what lawyer from justanswers is doing? He is posting entire CONFIDENTIAL conversation on line and linking this to his name! For God sake! Are you people crazy? I am not serial killer but my confidential conversation with lawyer was posted on justanswers.com website for MONTHS. Anybody who typed my name in Google was able to see entire conversation!
When I made this discovery I used my camera and recorded this from different computers and browsers …
I am preparing lawsuit!

I have perused the site several times. I was horrified to see many, many, many responses by one so-called EXPERT --- Kate McCOY --- who constantly intervenes in this particular customer's therapy sessions. I understand that it is the customer who keeps asking Kate about her sessions but then Kate constantly answers instead of being professional and telling the customer --- look by you keeping on asking me questions you are splitting things and you will NEVER work things out in your therapy. She should have told the customer that she should be bringing ALL these matters up with her therapist. If she feels that her therapist can't handle things then she should refer the customer to a new therapist, not constantly meddle in the customer's therapy. Of course, Just Answer doesn't flag this as unethical and non-professional because, of course, when the customer pays Kate McCoy, then Just Answer gets half the fee. If I knew the state that Kate McCoy practices in I would report her to her State Board for unethical conduct. Be that as it may, Just Answer should not accept Ms. McCoy's non-professional behavior and should ban her from the site.

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!

I had a question about their FEES. I got nothing but a ROBOTIC RESPONSE. I read their "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" the phrase "double charge" comes up more than once... please read their fine print... RED FLAGS!
Sidenote: Plentyoffish.com as well as MANY other web sites directs you to go to this "HELP" (JustAnswer) and pay them $30.00. Because they can't answer /respond to a simple question you submit on line-----Because they have no "Customer Service" worth a can of beans.

Took my car to a dealership (Ford, Lincoln). They could not find the solution. Instead of taking the car to another dealership and spending more money I decided to ask an expert for advice on justanswer.com for $18. They say if you are not satisfied with the experts advice they will not charge you. They requested me to rate the experts advice. Guess what... I never received any advice from any expert. Insult to injury they charged me $18. Don't even get a glimmer of an idea to use this web site for expert advice, you will only get scammed just like I did.

I entered my $1 "deposit" through PayPal on 4/1/11 to ask a neurology question. The site says answers within minutes, maybe hours. Three days later I had no answer. I finally figured out how to ask for a refund, and on 4/10 was informed, "We will process your refund manually, usually within a day". It is now 4/18/11 and I have received no refund.

This website GUARANTEES that it will answer your question or refund the fee (in my case $48). The chat-room format of the website exposed me to an absolute idiot who called himself an expert. He stated, at the end of the chat, that he definitely could not answer my question but that I should contact the vendor. He did not spend the $48 and left it open for some totally different question should I be dumb enough to ask something else. So the $48 rmains unspent and available until I do! In effect, the GUARANTEE is a bet whether you can think of a question they can answer, not the reverse. Thus they have my $48 forever without really stealing it.

I have tried every possible avenue through this website to get an answer, a refund, or even a response to the numerous email and site link forms I have sent in. Your "deposit" is charged and taken from your account before you even get an answer. Every part of this site is useless except for the fact you will be pissed off about not being able to get your "deposit" refunded.

Major Rip Off
September 28, 2010

Major Rip Off. They charged for an answer but without your knowledge they sign you up for a subscription (whatever that is) and charge your credit card the same fee charged to answer your question every month until you catch it. Avoid at all cost. I paid $18 dollars for 3 months for a 'subsciption' and got nothing for it.
